"If Bret went in there and stunk the place out, then they probably wouldn't have brought the little brother in. So just by being successful himself, it opened the door for me"

In this quote, Owen Hart is reflecting on his career and how his success was influenced by his older sibling, Bret Hart. He describes that if Bret had actually not been successful in his own profession, then Owen may not have had the chance to also attain success. By using the phrase "stunk the place out," Owen is describing Bret's efficiency in the fumbling ring. He thinks that if Bret had not carried out well, then the wrestling company might not have been interested in bringing in another member of the Hart household. Therefore, Owen acknowledges that his bro's success led the way for his own success in the wrestling industry.
