Obviously Owen is 10 times greater than both of those guys ring wise, but why keep him on to do the shitty "Black" heart gimmick and then the Blue Blazer if you saw so much potential?

I don't know for certain if he received any backlash, however, I personally don't think the Black Heart gimmick was all that bad and he had some great feuds with HHH and was a part of the Nation and was part of a great tag team in Canadian Country with him and Jeff Jarrett. He was the Blue Blazer at Wrestlemania 5 as well, but I wish he never had that gimmick because he might still be with us today if he hadn't had it. I guess he didn't get any major pushes, but I wouldn't say he was cast aside or used improperly, since he was always doing something of significance even during his feud with Steve Blackman at the end of 1998.
