[@5044223]

My favorite Owen rib is one that he pulled on Davey. When they were making Wrestlemania 2000 the video game, all the wrestlers did their own voices. Owen and Davey come to the studio to record their lines. Owen goes in first. While he's in the studio, he tells the director that Davey can't read. When it's Davey's turn, the director feeds him the lines and for whatever reason Davey just can't get it right. After some mild frustration, Davey says, "Just give me the damn script!" When Davey is done and walks out, Owen "innocently" asks, "Why did it take you so long?"

[@Richterdgf]

Wrestlemania 2000 didn’t have voice acting, Owen, or Davey.

I know stu talked like this before the show even started......but it reminds me of south park. I can see Tre or Matt doing that voice hahhaa. What's also great, is everyone does a atu hart and hes a little before my time, I mean I was around for the attitude era, but I never seen stu that much or didnt fully grasp his badass till I got older. But they all do such great impersonations of him. One of those voices everyone knows
