Was Owen Hart's 'Blue Blazier' gimmick a punishment for this....?

[The Diplomat]

But this was a kayfabe injury angle. He didn't actually hurt Severn here.

He was always the Blue Blazer. He was just doing it to not do the sexual angle with Debra.

[Edit]

Apparently not. He really did hurt him.

The Blue Blazer gimmick was because, contrary to revisionist history, Owen Hart was a midcarder that showed little to no personality for his run outside of when he was with Bret. This was Russo's way to give him something to do in an era full of huge personalities so that he didn't get lost.

And in 94 he was better than Bret and I'm a Bret guy.

Kind of hard to rate him above Bret when '94 was about him working with Bret. Both brought the best out of each other that year.

The rumor and innuendo has always been that Owen rejected a proposed angle in early 99 where him and Debra would've been fucking each other behind Jeff Jarrett's back.

In a way, Owen being up in the rafters as the Blue Blazer is Russo's fault.
