This was Bret's first WWF gimmick that he had for a few weeks before he and Neidhart became the Hart Foundation. He would wear the full cowboy gear and ride a live horse to the ring. Bret said he hated the gimmick and felt it was an insult to real cowboys. Any chance we will see the this pre-Hitman moment on here?

I was watching some old episodes of "World Of Sport" which used to be the UK's top wrestling show in the pre WWF era on The Wrestlng Channel and "Cowboy" Bret Hart was on a couple of times along with "Bronco" Owen Hart. They weren't the only future superstars to pop up on that show either. Apart from the obvious UK wrestlers like the Bulldogs and Regal,Japanese stars Satoru Sayama (1st Tiger Mask),Akira Maeda and Jushin "Thunder" Lyger all made appearances under different names as well. As for the cowboy gimmick,it got me thinking that the Smoking Gunns would have been a lot better if it had been Bret and Owen  |

Semi-related question: Will we ever see Bret's acting stint on "Lonesome Dove: The Series" inducted?

IIRC, this was PLANNED but never executed.
