Good find.
Morton & Owen seems like a winning combo. Along with Pillman basically introducing them, that's pretty rad.
And, Jumpin' Joey Maggs is one of the mosty awesome names in the entire history of names.

What yera was this? 1991?

[Milkman Norm]

was this a one shot deal like Benoit got for the NWA title tourny?

[andrew8798]

this is from 1991 Owen was there for couple of months before going back to the wwf

This was after the original Blue Blazer thing kinda backfired. If memory serves me correct, it was also after the "New Foundation" (w/Jim Neidhart) and "High Energy" (w/Koko Ware) hit the wall as well.

Owen wanted to travel and experience new frontiers. Much like Rob Van Dam's, his WCW run was a "sneeze and you missed it" kinda tour.

Wow, thats awesome! Learn something new everyday.

After the Blue Blazer but months before High Energy. He was slated to compete for the light heavyweight title, but he ended up leaving too soon and WCW dragged their heels on their tournament for the thing. Also of note, Owen dragged his heels in joining WCW; supposedly supposed to have started in October of 1990, but didn't show up for a few months later. There are some cool newsgroup remnants of this situation that have further details.

I just guessed it off of the top of my head. I have a Jim Neidhart "New Foundation" action figure in my closet and guessed it was around 1989/1990.
Now that I actually looked at the info on it, it said 1992. I was mistaken.
(The figure is part of my 1997 Hart Foundation set-up, with Bret, braided Bulldog and WCW Brian Pillman. No Owen, sadly.)

Thanks for the info.

Wow, cool find. I never knew Owen wrestled in WCW. WCW never realized what great talent they had to become big with younger great talent from the earily 90's. They had a chance to have Owen Hart, Raven, RVD, and a list of others. WCW could had the best roster possible at one point. Just think if they signed these guys. Plus knew what to do with them.

You could had something like this:

Brian Pillman,Owen Hart,RVD,Raven,Ric Flair, Vader, Ricky Steamboat, Steve Austin, Rock and Roll Express, LOD, Sting, Great Muta, Arn Anderson, Cactus Jack, Harlem Heat, The Steiner Brothers, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, Rey Mysterio, Ultimo Dragon, Chris Jericho, Psychosis, Juventud Guerrera, British Bulldog, The Blue Bloods (Eaton, Regal, Taylor), Dustin Rhodes, Barry Windham, Finlay, Nikita Koloff,Simmions and ext.

Then add the big names they brought in in the mid to late 90's. Like Hall, Nash, Hogan, Henning, Savage, Piper, Bret Hart and ext. If they pushed the guys and add these guys and booked them right. WCW would had pretty much the best Roster ever.

Look at that and look at everyone who WWE/F has ever had. They never had Sting or Muta or Stevie Ray or Nikita Koloff, so they pretty much had the same rosters.

WCW never had Andre or Kennedy or CM Punk or Carlito.
WWE also had Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles.

So technically, wwe has had the better roster.

[George Harrison]

WCW had Styles & Daniels, too. Ask Scot Steiner.


Seriously, f*** the kennedy love. he's a great wrestler, I admit, but including todays wrestlers in the way ^ That guy just did is plain stupid. Instead of naming HBK & whoever, he names CM Punk & Carlito & kennedy, like they would of meant something. Thye have each had relatively short carreers, & putting them above so many others in terms of this infuriates me. Pathetic.

No that not what I mean. I'm saying that they could had all of them on the same roster at once. Because at the time most of those guys were together. Just a signing of RVD, Owen, and Raven. Then adding that to what happened in WCW really when they signed them. It could happened.

Yes WCW never had Kennedy, CM Punk, or Carlito. Then again they were in training in 2001. WWE never had Daniels and Styles Officially. They had them for trial matches but never signed them. WCW had them before WWE did.

Wait, Rob Van Dam was in WCW. I thought that was Robbie V. Next thing your going to tell me is Jerry Lynn was Mr. JL.
