Only real interesting topic left that has been barely touched in depth is the tragic impact the Screwjob caused for Owen Hart's life. Pretty much set everything in motion leading to his death less than 2 years later.
Out of the Hart Foundation, he was the only one to not jump ship to WCW but not out of loyalty to Vince. He wasn't financial strong enough to break his WWF contract unlike Bret and don't think WCW were interested or ever gave him a reasonable offer to leave.
Then you have the completely avoidable circumstances that led to both his Blue Blazer gimmick and tragic death at Over the Edge 1999. WWE being petty over his refusal for an infidelity storyline and his plea to not do the dangerous stunt from the rafters cost Owen his life in the end.
