With my tenth pick in the draft, I am proud to select n the Storyline category – Brother vs Brother – Owen Hart vs big brother Bret
Bret tried to make amends with Owen, teaming with him on a regular basis. Bret even secured the two a shot at the
WWF Tag Team Championship. They faced
the Quebecers for the titles at the
1994 Royal Rumble. Initially everything was fine between the brothers, but when Bret hurt his knee (kayfabe) and was unable to tag Owen in for a long period of time, the younger Hart got frustrated. When the referee stopped the match due to Bret's damaged knee, Owen snapped; he kicked his brother in the knee and then walked off, starting his run as a
heel.

The two brothers faced off for the first time at
WrestleMania X, where Owen Hart shocked the world by cleanly pinning his older brother. Later in the evening, Bret Hart won the WWF Title while Owen Hart stood by and watched in jealousy as Bret celebrated in the ring.
[15] Owen won the
King of the Ring Tournament with Jim Neidhart’s help (
turning Neidhart heel in the process).
[16] After the victory, Owen took the nickname “The King of Harts."
Owen and Bret feuded throughout the summer of 1994, clashing many times both in singles and later in tag team matches (with Bret joined by the returning
British Bulldog). Two matches stand out in this feud: first, their
Steel Cage match at
SummerSlam which Bret won after a hard fought match.
[17] The second was a
lumberjack match on August 17 that Owen Hart initially won and was announced as World champion; Bret won the match after it was ordered to continue due to interference.
[18] At the
Survivor Series, Owen struck the most damaging blow against his brother as he conned his own mother Helen Hart to throw in the towel for Bret. Owen was at his most manipulative and insincere as he pleaded with her to think of his brother's well-being. The ploy cost Bret the world title to
Bob Backlund.
[19]
Owen also prevented Bret from regaining the title at the
1995 Royal Rumble when he interfered in the match between Bret and new champion
Diesel.
[20] In the weeks after the Rumble, Bret and Owen clashed again with Bret soundly defeating his brother, thus putting an end to their feud for the time being.
