A Owen Hart Tribute


Now I wasn't really a Owen Hart fan, but I do have respect for the man because of his in ring ability and personality. Owen Hart may still have never escaped his older brother Bret Hart shadow , but he is still a legend in the hearts of many wrestling fans.

Soon I will have a link to this page to a site that a friend of mine is making dedicated to the entire hart family.

World Championship Wrestling Expresses Condolences on Tragic Death of WWF's Owen Hart

From The PR Newswire
Monday May 24, 1999


ATLANTA -- World Championship Wrestling today issued the following statement on yesterday's tragic death of World Wrestling Federation star Owen Hart:

"WE ARE SHOCKED AND SADDENED BY THIS TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH BRET HART AND THE ENTIRE HART FAMILY."

Bret Hart, a WCW star and former champion and brother of Owen Hart, was to have wrestled current WCW heavyweight champion Kevin Nash live this evening on "The Tonight Show," but canceled his appearance and flew home to Canada to be with his family.


OWEN HART DEAD AT 33
By Joey Styles -- ECWWRESTLING.COM
Monday, May 24, 1999

A horrible tragedy occurred at the Over The Edge pay-per-view on Sunday.

Owen Hart was about to be lowered down from the ceiling to the ring for his appearance as the super hero-like Blue Blazer. He apparently thought that the harness which was to hold him was attached but was not.

Owen, 33, fell about fifty feet to the floor. He hit his head on the turnbuckle and then the ring. He was given CPR in the ring and was then rushed to a Kansas City hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The AP released the following quote from Titan Sports/WWF Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Vince McMahon. "We at the WWF are saddened by the tragic accident that occurred here tonight. We don't have any answer as to why this happened ... There is an ongoing investigation."

Fortunately, the deadly accident was not caught on camera and the WWF had the good judgement and taste to refrain from shooting the ring with their television cameras. The WWF told the fans watching the live telecast that the accident had happened, and later on, Jim Ross informed us that Owen had died.

It is with overwhelming grief and pain that everyone involved with ECW sends condolences and prayers to the Hart family that has given so much to wrestling.
