To be fair, I don't even think they need to sign the guy to anything to release a new DVD like a documentary. Lets not forget the Warrior DVD.....
This leads me to believe that the agreement was not to use him to promote the company in any way, such as making a 'Best of Owen Hart' DVD, or putting him in as a legend in SVR games, making action figures etc.
But it seems like she wants more, she wants his matches removed from box sets, his name not to be mentioned in magazine articles, and to be erased from title histories and 'Top 20 superstar' lists etc from the website.
It seems like she wants him to have the Benoit treatment. Now most people argue that erasing Benoit from all the work he did over the years is wrong, and he killed to two people before taking his own life. To do that to Owen, who died from a tragic accident, is just plain wrong.
