Max Mini

Does anyone have any proof that Max Mini was supposed to be lowered to the ring with Owen? It has been said that the reason for the quick release rigging was for Owen to perform a prat fall into the ring. So if the plan was for Owen to fall (a relatively short distance), why would they have Owen (a 250 pound man) fall 10 feet (the reported height of the planned fall) onto a midget wrestler he was holding? But then again nothing about the event makes any sense.Ganley89416:10 11 September 2006 (EDT)

The Game

The stuff aboot Owen being the Game. Is this documented anywhere or just rumour?(Halbared 08:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Is there any reliable source for the claim that HHH's nickname "The Game" was originally meant for Owen??? I can't find any source for it on the internet except for IMDB.com which isn't all that reliable when it comes to wrestling info...

Paul "HHH" Levesque has confirmed it in interviews.

thats really weird. i always suspected his character was going towards being the game. being that damn good. real shame

RAW is Owen

I think it's important enough. I think we should do a wiki on RAW is Owen. --Kitch 11:06, 4 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dear whom ever it may concer owen hart was a 4 time tag team champ...

Owen Hart & Yokozuna Sept. 25, 1995

Owen Hart & Yokozuna's second World Tag Team Championship reign didn't last more than an hour or so. At In Your House 3, the duo lost the titles to Diesel & Shawn Michaels, but Owen did not show up until the latter stages of the match as The British Bulldog had taken his place up to that point. Hart was pinned, but the next night on RAW, the team's lawyer, Clarence Mason, threatened legal action against WWE if the titles were not given back to Hart & Yokozuna. He stated that since Owen did not start the match, his being pinned was illegal. The titles were returned to Hart & Yokozuna, but they then defended the same titles against The Smokin' Gunns later in the evening and were beaten again, and this time the total change stuck.

By your own explantion Owen was NOT a four time champion, Diesel & Shawn were forced to give the titles back to Owen & Yoko, they never legally won them - so Owen & Yoko never legally lost them either, it was a "Dusty Finish". This is along the lines of the Jericho/HHH title change that happened and was then undone. Unless someone disagrees it should be changed back to 3 times tag-team champion.

Owen 3:16

"Owen 3:16 says 'I just broke your neck'." - I remember seeing this on t-shirts and references made on WWF TV, but did Owen actually say this? Anybody remember? Bcarlson33 14:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno, but it's a very memorable quote! I've been after that t-shirt for years... was it ever released for fans????

There should probably be a part in his wrestling career mentioning the origins of the catchphrase. I don't have a direct reference, but I believe he said it to incorporate the Steve Austin incident in with his character (Hart legitimately broke Austin's neck with a botched piledriver... check the Austin page for details).208.197.234.251 20:33, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Death

It says viewers at home didn't see the Death, but I'm quite sure they did. My father watched it, and I started watching it a minute after it happened. I was watching PPV in Canada, they weren't showing the promotions. Maybe it was different in the USA?

In the USA they were on the crowd the whole time (they were on a seven delay and were able to edit Owen's death). OsFan 02:30, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have the original pay per view on tape (A friend of mine taped it off pay per view live) and is no footage of either Owen falling nor the ring after the fall. Jim Ross introduced the video package and when it came back the camera stayed on the crowd until it was cleared. The camera then showed Jim Ross and a visibly shaken Jerry Lawler at the announce table. They introduced the video package or the next match and that was it. No footage of anything.

About his death

Is the footage shown in the article is really his death? becuse some people claim the footge is a New Jack bump?

That bump was taken by Vic Grimes against New Jack in an XPW scaffold match in February 2002. Owen Hart's death was never seen on PPV. Vic729 14:24, July 10th, 2006 (EDT)

I'm reading Owen's wife's book at the moment, and it wasn't that a WWF logo was placed next to his flowers but that a WWF logo was made entirely out of flowers, which she had changed to Owen's initials. I have changed this on the page. Also, she made note that a friend's son (in Canada) was watching the pay-per-view, but did NOT see the actual death because the cameras quickly panned away in her area, as well.

Let's clear this up once and for all:

Owen Hart's fall was not show on the PPV broadcast. A pre-taped promo was airing on the broadcast when Owen fell from the rafters during preparation for his stunt.
No footage of Owen in the ring after the fall was aired, due to WWE production utilizing the several-second delay in broadcasting, and keeping the live feed focused on the audience instead of the ring.
Footage of said fall is not likely to exist anywhere outside of the WWE tape library, if such footage even exists and is viewable (since Kemper Arena had been darkened for the promo & planned stunt).
The Over The Edge event on 23 May 1999 remains one of the few WWE PPV events that has never been legitimately released on video in any format. - Chadbryant 08:51, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay well,owen's death was just sooo graphic and well i was only 5 but i was there and i remember i just, i was dressed in blue blazer attire, and the sad thing was, there was an undertaker match that night as listed in the article my friend had a sign saying owen can rest.

Raw is Owen

It is written that the Undertaker was the only one not on stage on the tribute Raw following Owens death. Does anyone know why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.69.7.10 (talk) 19:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Undertaker actually went to visit Bret in-person.
