The Life and Death of Owen Hart (46 minute documentary)




Owen was great. This piece does well at describing Owen's conflict with wrestling as a job to his relationship as a husband and a provider.

I hope one day we can see a doc that highlights his wrestling career with insights and commentary, without being over shadowed by his end. He was one of the best. He had many great moments and matches and there seems to be many stories to be told of Owen.

I can't help but feel that Vince is in some respect responsible for his end. A leader sets the tone and actions of what is to follow. It feels like Vince did not give proper concern to this realities or possibilities of hanging a human 80ft in the air. Who can blame him much tho? When a dangerous action is pulled of successfully many time it can create an illusion of safety.

RIP Owen. Some of us will never forget you.

I just watched his match at Rock Bottom against Steve Blackman. It was good. He had a match against Steve fucking Blackman and it was good. Who else has done that?

I think Owen would still be wrestling today and would be a much bigger legend if he had lived.
I don't think it's fair to blame Vince for the loss. It was an accident, and even though Vince authorized a dangerous stunt, Owen went with it, and let's remember that such stunts have been pulled many times safely.

Makes me want to wish Owen should've asked Vince to test the rig like he did for Shawn Michaels before WrestleMania XII.

The way Sting was dropped from the rafters was just as dangerous, maybe even more so with the rapid descent and sudden stop. Shawn Micheals and the Undertaker have both been lowered from the ceiling multiple times, and shit, several people have been hung in cages over rings for entire matches (Paul Bearer, Jerry Lawler, and Jim Cornette come to mind.)

Regardless of what Cornette may think, a defective safety item killed Owen Hart; WWE didn't kill him, Vince McMahon didn't kill him, and Vince Russo didn't kill him. It was a freak accident caused by a freak set of circumstances; hell, if he'd gone a few feet in a different direction he may have ended up surviving. People like to point out the "Owen didn't want to wrestle" line but let's not forget he wanted to fight fires for a living as an alternative, and while I don't have any stats to hand, I'm pretty sure a greater percentage of firefighters than wrestlers die on the job in any given year. Or for all we can tell he might have been run over by a steamroller on his way to a hockey game, that's how useless "coulda woulda shoulda" speculation is in a case like this.

Ah God dammit, I just agreed with the furry.
