Owen Hart Wrestling With Angels

An Indepth look at the Life and Times of The Late Owen Hart May 7, 1965 – May 23, 1999

The Accident

Spanning his career I can remember a lot about Owen that made sense if you will. His love for the business the way he mixed up business and had a little fun while doing it. He was known in the locker room to all the guys as a practical joker and liked a laugh. But, on the night of May 23rd 1999…. The Laughter STOPPED! The Blue Blazer was going to make a "superhero" style entrance from the ceiling of the Kemper Arena in Kansas that night at the Over the Edge PPV...  The end result had Owen falling 78ft 3 inches to the ring, causing massive head and neck trauma (a torn aorta the main artery going into the rear of the heart chamber).his body was spinning spread eagle the whole way down. the outside ring rope caught Owen under the arm and bowed out springing him back into the ring he landed on his neck and shoulders,. A blunt trauma causes the aorta to separate  . Fans in the audience quickly realised the grim nature of the disaster, and stood around in surprised hush as medics worked on Owen.... Owen was admitted to Truman Medical Centre in critical condition, and was pronounced dead soon afterwards. Nonetheless Owen wasn't pronounced dead until at the hospital, in fans' minds, this will obviously be a solid memory, as it symbols the closest thing to an "in-ring" death at a Live televised event that any of us would ever want to see. It guarantees Owen a certain infamous place in wrestling history... a way that will surpass Owens many accomplishments as a skilled competitor As fans, what we should keep in mind are the great

 

matches, gripping stories, and pleasant interviews... as caring human beings, we ought to all remember that amongst those in the business, very few are as collectively liked and beloved as Owen Hart was. He was a true and a genuine good guy and family man. And to Owen we Say farewell and as a fellow WWE Fan we only hope that his Son Oje and daughter Athena grows up to know what a amazing and enjoyable father they had. The night in question the King and JR traded the jokes and the laughter for sadness and sorrow and the one thing theat will always be in my mind from that fateful night would be the king sitting down at the announce table and saying to JR “No it uh it doesn’t look good at all” we knew then that God had taken Owen from the earth. Owens Tragic and very untimely death overshadowed the undertaker becoming the WWF Champion.

To Silence the Rumour of Owen Hart not wanting to do the stunt i have asked the man in Question Mr Bobby Talbert and here was his response:

Bobby Talbert: NEVER that was said a few times and is not true Owen did say he was so comfortable with it that he didn't want to do a rehearsal had to get his manager to make him do a rehersal because we had never worked together
