Bret Hart Said :
"When they gave me the idea about me wrestling my brother, I went back and I talked to Owen about it. I said, 'They got this crazy idea about me wrestling [you].' It actually was going to be one of my other brothers first. That brother was not able to wrestle me. I remember saying, 'But Owen's the better wrestler,' and if I was going to do that idea, I'd have to do it with Owen," recalled Hart."The Hitman" detailed their steadfast commitment to breathing life into their storyline beyond the confines of the squared circle."When I got to the building the next day, I remember Owen came up to me and goes, 'I want to do it,'" Hart recalled. "I said, 'If you want to do it, we'll do it,' I said, 'But remember this, Owen, if we do this thing, we do it old school. We don't talk to each other.' I remember, like, even at my mom's house for Sunday dinners, he'd sit at one end of the table, I'd sit at the other end of the table. We'd walk right past each other, but never say anything to each other." (Via Attitude Era Podcast/Wrestling Inc) FULL MATCH - Shawn Michaels vs. Owen Hart: WWE In Your House 6
