Remembering Owen Hart – 18 Years Later

Tomorrow (May 23^rd) represents the 18^-year anniversary of the most tragic moment in Pro Wrestling History as it is the 18-year anniversary of Owen Harts death.  It is hard for this journalist, and most die- hard wrestling fans not to get a little choked up when looking back.

Hart was one of the most popular heels in history.  An oxymoron I know, but simply because fans LOVED booing him.  He was a jokester in the locker room and someone all the boys loved.  There isn’t anyone that wrestled with and against Owen who can say a bad word about him.

Hart was part of the most famous family in Pro Wrestling History.  The Hart family is known worldwide and is considered Royalty amongst most wrestling fans.  Sadly, his life would end short on May 23, 1999 as part of the Over The Edge Pay Per View.  His rigging broke as he was supposed to descend from the catwalk over 90 feet above.  He would crash to his death in front of a packed house at The Kemper Arena in Kansas City.  Paramedics would try working on him, but it was clear the fall would be fatal.

As sad as the ending of his life and career was, a father of two and loyal husband, it doesn’t take away from what was an incredible career.  Owen Hart will forever be one of the most beloved figures in Pro Wrestling History.  Let us take a brief look back at some of his best moment’s, shall we?
