Do you think Martha Hart realizes?

Absolutely correct. Owen was a reluctant wrestler. According to Martha's book there were a few times that he was going to leave the business very early on.

Unfortunately for Owen, he was born into the business and it came naturally to him..he was also very, very good at it. It's hard to turn down guaranteed money and go home to find another job, no matter how much you may or may not like your current job.

The OHF exists because of his untimely passing. To say it's directly responsible because of his wrestling career is ridiculous. There's no Curt Hennig foundation, no Brian Clark foundation, no British Bulldog foundation. It exists to keep his name and memory alive in the name of goodwill and charity just like with most other organizations that have sprung out of others untimely passings of others that are in no-way related to the pro-wrestling business.

..was it funded with his wrestling money or the lawsuit money? That's completely irrelevant because on the day you die, you cease to be a wrestler, a fireman or anything else. You become a memory and a name and that memory and name is more important than a 1000 wrestling matches, in my opinion. No matter where the money comes from, the good the Foundation does now in his name is more important than where it was generated from 10+ years ago.

I believe you're talking about Brian Adams...Bryan Clark is still alive.

Anyways, no matter what, Owen always brought a smile to our faces and everything. It's true that it's hard to walk away from the guaranteed money, but I believe if he left alongside Bret, Jim, and Davey Boy, he would be much more happier, as he will be with his family.
