Owen Hart Stories That Will Make You Laugh

2) Jim Cornette On Owen’s Constant Ribs

Jim Cornette in an interview with Wrestling Inc would go on to say that Owen (along with his sidekick the British Bulldog) would pull so many ribs that he stopped believing anything that they would tell him.

Cornette recalls Owen and the British Bulldog messing with him multiple times throughout their time together in WWE:

“You know Owen and Davey together, Davey Boy Smith, they were like two children. They just had to top each other. We would be doing promos, we would be standing there in front of the camera and all of a sudden I’d look to the left of me and Owen all of a sudden was two inches taller than both me and Davey, and we were all sort of the same height. You would look down and he would be standing on a roll of duct tape. Then you look over and Bulldog would be about three inches taller and he’d be standing on a box”

He continued:

“Then I’d look down because I’d feel something and while we were standing there staying concentrated on the camera, Owen had one of those spray bottles and he would spray the front of my pants, so it would look like I had pissed myself on camera. If Owen or Davey, either one if they came to you and gave you a million dollars, you’d be looking for the printing press. It had to be a rib. It got to the point where they ribbed so much, that nobody would believe anything.”

The ultimate tag-team.

1) Owen Ribs Vince McMahon

A common theme throughout these stories is that no-one was safe from a rib from Owen Hart. This includes WWE’s Chairman: Vince McMahon.

Matt Hardy was interviewed by the Huffington Post back in 2014 where he told a story about Owen Hart ribbing Vince. Hardy was responsible for watching the door to make sure that Owen could pull off one of his classic ribs.

“Well, I first learned from probably the most famous ribber – that was Owen Hart. Even when we were first starting on TV as part time workers, Owen was always constantly up to different jokes. Probably the greatest rib I’ve ever been involved in happened at a pay-per-view event where Owen used me as one of the guys to stand guard and make sure that Vince McMahon and the office guys didn’t leave the building”

He continued:

“He told them not to leave a specific room they were in because he told them that there was some emergency across the building. In the meantime, he rushed all of the hoardings that they bought for the set into Vince’s office and they crashed and ruined it which was pretty hilarious and also pretty gutsy on Owens part to rib the boss like that”

Owen was one guy that could cross the boss and get away with it.
