DX, Austin, and even The Rock (former members of The Nation) all could have had potential axes to grind with Owen. Owen could have and would have been a tremendous main-eventer in my opinion. He had the charisma and he had the wrestling ability.

However - given how deep the roster was at the time, perhaps this was not realistic (and in that sense, perhaps you are right).
I believe Owen should have been a main eventer and definitely would have been if things had gone differently. He had all the tools. It's just sad the way things ended going with the screwjob, the punishment angle and his eventual death as a result.
