Owen Hart.

This is in response to some of the stuff in the various fanboy wars topics and whatnot.

Owen was a big boy. He was a professional wrestler and had to have known the risks inherrent in any stunt, let alone one that involved coming down from the rafters.

I'm not saying that we didn't lose a good guy or anything, but can't we just agree that shit happens sometimes, and accidents are accidents?

Bret Hart has every right to be upset at the loss of his brother, and maybe the spot shouldn't have been done, but it was. And the fact is, it's a relatively safe stunt but there are always risks involved.

I know there are factors involved in terms of the wrestling world, but in the end, he went through with it and he died. And it was terrible, and it was a loss. But it was a mistake, and accident, and nobody should have an axe to grind over this. At least, none of us.


“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
