Owen Hart Wrestling With Angels

Owens Biggest Win of his career by far was at WrestleMania X (10) where he defeated his Brother the legendary Bret “Hitman” Hart in a classic match which was the opening match on the card for Mania it was a classic 20-plus minute bout, perhaps Owen's best from his entire WWF career.  Owen stunned the world by pinning his brother with a victory-roll reversal move. Bret then later on that night went on to win the WWF Championship from the over 500lbs Yokozuna. Setting up a brother vs. brother title feud.

Where Owen Hart Won the King of The Ring in 1994

On the other hand, Bret did not wish for any extra upset to his family by fighting Owen.... so to earn a SummerSlam '94 title shot,
Owen had to fight through the 1994 King of the Ring tournament.  Owen beat Adam Bomb (formally "Wrath" in WCW), Tatanka, the 1-2-3 Kid (better known as D-generate X-Pac), and Razor Ramon (Scott Hall) to win the contest, and get his title shot.  The 1994 King of the Ring was Owen's first WWF accolade if you will.

KOTR award Speech

 At SummerSlam 94, Owen and Bret had an exceptional title match inside a Steel cage, with many amazing near-escapes.  Finally, with Owen's legs caught in the steel cage, Bret was able to escape first to keep his title.  In the audience, Davey Boy Smith (the British Bulldog) and Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart were at ringside to watch their brothers-in-law do battle; following Bret's wins, The Bulldog began to celebrate, but Neidhart jumped him from behind.   Owen and the Anvil formed an alliance following the event, and feuded for the short term with Bret as well as the Bulldog.

Owen's search to relieve his brother Bret of the WWF Championship in the end led to Owen befriending Bob Backlund (doesn’t say much for Owens taste in Friends!).  At Survivor Series '94, Backlund and Bret battled in a submissions match for the ages in my mind it was a good match for both superstars... with Bret locked in a cross-face chicken wing, Owen seemed to have a change of heart, showing concern for his brother Bret.  With tears in his eyes as his brother struggled in the submission hold, Owen begged his mother to throw in the towel for Bret.  Helen Hart finally relented, and submitted on Bret's behalf by throwing in the towel on the Bulldogs behalf who was attacked during the match by Owen.  Owen's character immediately transformed, as he celebrated his triumphant trick and took pleasure in seeing Bret without the WWF Championship gold.
