What If: The British Bulldog turned on Bret Hart, and sided with Jim Neidhart and Owen Hart, at the 1994 Summerslam?
After watching the 1994 Cage match, and seeing the ending it really set-up a two against two feud with the Anvil and the King of Harts against the British Bulldog and the Hitman, but the real ideal question is.. what if the Bulldog would've turned on Bret, siding with Owen as well? Truth is, Bulldog didn't get much of a push after helping Bret (neither did Anvil regarding Owen, for that matter) but instead of Bob Backlund against Bret Hart at that following Survivor Series, I could've easily seen a 6 man tag, or even a Survivor Series elimination match with all the Harts.
It could've been Bret Hart, along with Keith and Bruce (whom were in the 93 Survivor Series) against Owen, Bulldog and the Anvil. OR, it could've been Bret, Keith, Bruce & possibly another well known Superstar against Owen Hart, Bulldog, Anvil & Bob Backlund. Either way, I don't see how the Backlund storyline benefitted anyone, short of Kevin Nash, who had nothing to do with the Hart Family saga.
Furthermore, I'm fine with Nash against H.B.K. at Mania XI, however, instead of Nash against Hart at the Royal Rumble, it could've easily been Bulldog (heel) against Diesel, or Bulldog against Bret. I think the British Bulldog missed out on a good opportunity to turn heel, when he decided to stay face. What are everyone else's thoughts?
Another possible outcome would've been Owen Hart actually winning the W.W.F. Championship, with the help of his Brother-in-Laws, only to drop it to Diesel, still continuing with that type of storyline, and having Bret cost Owen the title. I mean they really could've went so many other directions with this, that could've helped benefit Owen Hart and the British Bulldog, instead of Bob Backlund. What are everyone's thoughts?
