It's the same reason why, despite the fact that Sting, one of Flair's biggest rivals, used the Scorpion Deathlock for years before, that the hold is called the Sharpshooter to this day.
Hart was a bigger draw internationally than most people.

You reallyY think that that's the reason, and not because, I don't know, they were in BRITAIN and the BRITISH BULLDOG was his opponent?
And you really think that the reason it's primarily called the Sharpshooter has to do with Bret's drawing power? Not because, say, that name is more linked to WWE than the SD, which is primarily linked to NWA/WCW, and one of those companies was eaten up by the other?
And have you considered that Hart's international drawing power may have had something to do with him being a non-American performer who was extremely heavily marketed overseas?
