It's not as simple as being a "better talker". It's about how you carry yourself and how you wrestle. Bret wrestled like a main event champion, Owen didn't. Plus, Owen COULD fly certainly, but most of his run in the WWF was spent NOT flying (insert obvious joke about his death here... aka fuck off). His work was good, and he was for sure a great worker, but he did not string together the body of work Bret did. He just did not work a main event style. Maybe over time it could have progressed there, but to me, I've never seen it, at least at Bret's level.

I think Sean Waltman made the point, while Owen was great, he just didn't take it all that seriously, whereas Bret did, and that's why Bret was Bret and Owen was Owen. Maybe if Owen took it as seriously as Bret, he could have been the number one Hart, but he just wasn't, talking aside. He was not the worker that Bret was.
