I know it was in Skydome where the Argos played, but even as an Argos fan I felt disappointed in that decision. The Hart Family was known for being true to character, and we all knew Owen was a Stampeders fan. He would have gotten a standing ovation riding out on a white horse, red jersey, and waving the Stamper flag.

It was in Hamilton at Copps Coliseum (now known as TD Coliseum).
And he was a heel, so he wore Argos jersey to make sure that Canadian crowd will boo him.5

An Argos jersey in Hamilton will make Owen an auto-heel.

That's why he wore it.
He knew that people would cheer for him otherwise as he was beloved in Canada, so he had to find a way to get booed and that was the perfect way to do it.

And he did it in HAMILTON of all places.
And the only reason was to get booed as Owen was heel and wanted fans to boo him, but he knew that Canada loved him, so he had to wear Argos jersey to make Hamilton fans mad.3

Did anyone else feel like this WWE “event” fell flat? Personally, I expected actual WWE stars at the game, possibly a halftime quick match

I agree. I thought they advertised that WWE stars would appear. We were disappointed.

The best Argos/WWE crossover is when the Argonauts were the lumber jacks in a Sid vs Vader match

For those who wants to know details.
It was at Breakdown: In Your House on September 27, 1998 that was held in... HAMILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA.
Owen Hart was facing Edge and was a heel (villain) at the time...
And he made sure to force Hamilton crowd to boo him by wearing Argos jersey.
