The Rock and Owen Hart were partners at the WWE during the second half of the 1990s. They shared the quadrilateral 36 times. “The King of Harts” was the one who finished the first “Great One” reign in the company with the Intercontinental Championship.
► The broken arm (no)
But now we are going a year earlier, to 1996, when the two had a fight that Owen came victorious by surprising rock with which his plaster arm was really not really injured. The Samoan remembers him in his autobiography, The Rock Says …:
“I didn't know that Owen's plaster was just part of the character. I saw the shows and assumed that Owen, being as rude as he was, had injured his arm and decided to continue fighting. The plaster was on his left arm, which is the one that always works during a fight. That is one of the wrestling bases: the left arm is grabbed … So I grabbed his right arm and started working, twisting it, putting it behind his back. He felt very uncomfortable. ”
He tried to get attention by saying: 'Hey … That is not the right arm'. I replied: 'I know. You have the plaster in the other '. 'Yes … grabs the plaster,' he told me. I said: 'But I thought you had a broken arm'. With that, Owen began to laugh without stop. He was known for his jokes, for his sense of humor. But for me, at that time, it was something embarrassing. I was trying to be kind to him, and he played it! I imagined that Owen and all veterans looked at me thinking: 'Chico, you have a lot to learn'”.
► The joke
That was just a misunderstanding in which The Rock was the victim of his inexperience and naivety. On the other hand, as also recounts in the book, What would happen later with Owen Hart yes it was a joke From recognized by all as a joker:
“A little later, Owen stopped me in the hall, out of the dressing room. 'Vince (McMahon) I just asked me what I thought about you'told me. 'Brilliant. And what did you say? ' 'I told him you're shit'. I stared at Owen for a moment, not knowing if I said the truth or if I was only teaching my hair again. It was difficult to know with him. Finally, he smiled and said: 'No, just joke. I told him you are better than half of the guys in the roster now '”.
