First off, Owen didn't have much time left on his contract. It was widely known that Owen really didn't want to resign a contract becuase he was growing tired of wrestling and didn't like the direction it was headed in. He was a very smart man when it came to money and saved wisely and invested even better. He was supposed to run out the rest of his career with the Blue Blazer gimmick, and occasionally teaming with Jarrett once and again. Owen never really had an ambition to be World Champion, nor was he honestly even very close to it. The closest he came was a "Dusty Finish" where he won the Title at a House Show...once Bret left, Owen was not going to be heading up. This whole rumor that Owen was going to be "The Game" character? Total bullshit! The Game came out of Triple H...you might be able to make an argument he stole The Franchise gimmick, but that's about it. After Owen's death WWE allowed a lot of their stars to redesign their gimmicks as they felt bad that Owen died performing a gimmick he didn't like. Paul chose to reshare Sophmoric Humor Triple H into The Game. Like I said Owen was going to run out the rest of his contract (which is memory serves me correctly was around the 9 month mark) doing Blue Blazer. The End. Sorry to sound harsh, but I get upset when someone dies and suddenly people take what they have done, totally throw it aside and cry to the heavens about what they could have done. Honor the man for his accomplishments, don't drag him up and talk about what could have been.
Thank you sir
