I just don't think it should be in the top 10.
Hell I'd rank Andre The Giant's death higher than Owen's.

Andre might have been a bigger name but he was done with wrestling when he died and was not the man newer fans were told about. Owen Hart was a modern day star who died on a live PPV at the peak of the WWF's popularity. His "tribute" show was also the highest rated Raw ever at the time. It was also more recent and it was the present day fans who voted and that age group knew more of Owen than Andre.
As a neutral, I'd still say Owen's death is more memorable. More fans will remember where they were when Owen Hart died than where they were when Andre died. Out of the top 10, at least 6 would have made my own personal top 10.
