Owen Hart...
Maybe this can can be a thread on its own, but here's how I see the idea of Owen Hart going into the hall of fame.
When Owen passed away he was my favorite wrestler. At this point in time for the most part I cheered who everyone else cheered for. So for me to go cheer a heel was a lot. Something inside told me he was a good person. He was great in the ring, and behind the mic...
His death was tragic. A total accident, a fluke, and proff that there is no God because someone like him shouldn't have been taken away so soon. He had nothing but a life time of potential sucess ahead of him. He very easily could have been world champion by now.
Fate is a funny thing, really. Not funny "ha ha", but funny "what the hell is this shit". Owen Hart left this earth early, and we'll never know if he could have risen to the top.
As much as I love his memory I'm going to say no, he shouldn't go in the hall of fame.
And as much as I don't like Bret Hart, I'll say he should go. Maybe not this year, but before 2010.
