The feud would be a 'friendly' one, though, so as not to break up the stable, resulting in a classic 35-minute encounter. I don't want to say whether I think Bret or Owen should win, but the win would be clean and there would be a handshake and joint celebration at the end

VERY cool idea indeed, and great points / discussion thus far
Just another idea to add to that:
Owen could have EASILY carried the company as a very credible Champion, and drew well for them as well. If they would have worked things right, Bret could have dropped the Title to Owen in Montreal, and there wouldn't have been a problem - but of course everything had to rotate around planet HBK.
The Montreal situation would have been perfect all the way around. You get rid of Bret, he does the job on the way out, you get a FRESH champ who was already way over, and it's in their hometown, so either way - no matter who won the match - the live fans are happy. Could have been the start of a big big thing right there, and with Bret going to WCW and Owen being the WWF Champion, it would've been great marketing too. That's just my opinion.
