[@Jayce_Alexander]

The anniversary of Owen's passing brought me here. Just watched Bret vs Owen at Wrestlemania X. Man what a great talent the world lost in Owen. And from what his peers tell, a great guy to boot. As an aside compare Godfather, a guy who used weed religiously, to all the guys from his era who were on pills and alcohol. It's like night and day. Glad to see Godfather is doing so well. It's always great to see him in shoot interviews. He's really taken care of himself.

[@Blackbohnstergaming]

I didn´t know that Owen was planned to win the title that night..... damn, it was hard and bitter before..... but that is just damn..... if you think, that the Blazer was a punishment of WWE for Owen for not doing the Debra Storyline and then giving him the title must have been some kind of reward for sticking with the gimmick..... damn, the whole thing just sucks.

thats whats even worse. the blue blazer gimmick was lame and corny. i wish they would have really pushed the "black hart" angle. once hbk squashed that idea its like they didnt know what to do with owen so it was team him with JJ until having him be a mid card singles guy again.

Owen Hart was forced to do the Blue Blazer gimmick again as a punishment.

That pissed Vince off so Vince made him do the gimmick again to humiliate him

That's exactly what it was. WWF/E can say what they want. They trapped him in that contract and less than 2 years after the Montreal thing and Bret going to WCW that happens with Owen.

Yeah I've read that it was supposed to lead to a feud between Blazer and Jarrett over it (with Blazer as the good guy), but also I think they wanted to do the whole "split personality" thing where Owen himself would have asked for a title shot while claiming that the Blazer was ducking him or something. I guess we'll never know for sure, but I think the split personality thing would have been the main storyline.

[@thomasmuller1425]

I still, to this day, believe that the show should've been stopped immediately after that fall. More importantly, instead of having Jim Ross announce Owen's death, Vince should've went to the ring himself & said "Ladies & gentlemen, we just got some very, very sad news. We, the World Wrestling Federation community, are saddened to report that Owen James Hart had succumbed to his injuries sustained from this horrific accidental fall. Therefore, we'll have to end tonight's PPV & postpone our WWF Title showdown between The Undertaker & Stone Cold Steve Austin. More importantly, everybody who paid a ticket to come see us will get a full refund." This way, Owen's wife, Martha wouldn't have been upset with him at all & maybe Bret Hart would've been less mad also at him & MAYBE they'd bury their grudges a lot earlier than it did.

It's too bad we never got to see the Godfather vs. The Blue Blazer. I remember in the months leading up to it how much we were eagerly anticipating what was going to happen, and how the Blazer could ever win a title since he was a glorified jobber as a masked man. I think if they just went forward with the match, and had Owen shake off the injury the fans would have really appreciated it, and if Owen's condition made his mobility limited, Godfather could have rolled himself up over Owen and done the time honored tradition of passing the torch, and then the ho's would leave Godfather because he lost and carry Owen on their shoulders to the back waving the title about. Now that would be a memory Godfather wouldn't forget about. Instead they took him to the hospital and deprived the fans a wrestlemania moment of a lifetime, or deathtime, as it were if you wheel.

Owen Hart was on his way out of the business from what I recall in a video I saw. Word travels about footage of Owen Hart falling.

[@DinnersOnSaturday]

You would be correct. In documentaries about him it was said that Owen really didn't like the wrestlling business. But given that he had grown up around it and his talent it was something he could do and make a lot of money at. He hated being on the road so much and away from his family. His motivation was to make enough money so that he would be able to provide his family with a good life and have money put away for his kids college. Then once he had enough money he was going to leave the wrestling business for good and come back home and become a firefighter so that he would be around his family more. This is one thing I really admire about him. The wrestling industry has so many over inflated egos and people who are doing it all for themselves. Owen wasn't doing it for himself or his love of wrestling. He was simply doing it as a way to provide his family a better life.
