Owen wanted out coz of the incident and Vince refused (probally still be alive if Vince said yes)
...And he might of been hit by a bus on his way out of
Titan Towers, blame
Vince for a lot of things but to even relate those 2 things....
The whole butterfly effect and all that, something like letting
Owen leave could have lead to some weird wacky things happening maybe much worse

Maybe he lied to protect himself from getting beaten up by Bret (again)
Again? do tell! Never heard this.
Well my memory is sketchy so rather than try to remember I used google search...
Bret and Shawn got into a real fight backstage, where Bret confronted Shawn about comments Shawn made about Bret Hart and Sunny. From what's being said, Bret took down Michaels and there was some hair pulling and then WWF officials had to break it up. Right after Shawn got his ass kicked
I mean after the fight, Shawn went in Vince's office and demanded a contract release and Vince said no. They were both sent home that night.Are you kidding? HBK is hated by many.
Don't forget
Ron and
Don Harris, they threatened to beaten him up on many an occasion!
