The Top 10 WWE Underdogs Of All Time 4

4: Owen Hart

The King of Hearts, Owen Hart has a different kind of underdog story. While technically sound, he was never overly popular. Whether in a team or solo, no matter how much success he gained, he was always in the shadow of his older brother Bret “The Hitman” Hart.

Even if it wasn’t explicitly stated, there had to be an immense amount of pressure to compete. Imagine if Michael Jordan had a younger brother who also played for the Bulls and that’s probably what it felt like for Owen. That’s definitely how it was treated by fans.

Owen did win a great match against his brother at Wrestlemania X, but that win was slightly overshadowed as Bret would go on to win the WWE Championship later that night. Owen was on an upswing in popularity when he died tragically before an event; falling from the top of the arena while practicing an entrance. For a lot of young fans, that is the only memory they may have of Owen Hart, but for those old enough to have seen him work, he was an awesome presence within the company.
