I remember when he showed up at the end of the DX ppv and attacked Michaels I was 
The storyline wrote itself...Owen out to get revenge for his brother leading to a big title match at the Rumble. This was a great opportunity to push Owen to that next level and the fans were fukking with him heavy, which was cool because it was the first time he was really over as a babyface. I liked the Black Hart character.
I wouldn't have expected him to win the title from Michaels but a main event on a big PPV would've been a good push, and who knows maybe they could've given him a short run with the title and have him drop the title back to Michaels at No Way Out.
Instead Michaels acting like the drugged out, primadona fakkit he is and refused to do the program (leading to the Taker match that fukked his back up - karma's a bytch
)
Owen was left to feud with HHH and was buried in that feud as well. Then literally weeks later he turns heel and joins the Nation
Now Owen made the most of it and was always a great heel but he was back where he was, and just stuck in the midcard and tag division going nowhere, which then led to the Blue Blazer gimmick
He could've been alive and cooking up classics a year later with Benoit, Jericho, Angle if only Michaels would've done business.
