Time goes too fast, yet this very sad event seems like it was only yesterday. What are your favourite Owen Hart matches and memories?  |

That was the worst night, I remember being at my friends uncles house and we didn't say a word the rest of the night. If we did we knew we were gonna cry. He was my favorite wrestler at the time.
I would say favorite matches that come to mind real quick were always the ones vs. 123 kid, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Royal Rumble 94 vs the Quebecers. Vs. The Stieners w/Bret. Obviously the KOTR.
He and Davey Boy were always one of my favorite Tag Team Champions.

Crazy. I still remember this day: I was in school & I'd always go over to my cousins' house after school & watch PPV, wrestling etc. My cousin came over to me at break time & told me this. The first wrestling death I heard of.

I can't believe it's been 13 years. It's just crazy.
Will always be one of my favorites.

I remember being in 7th grade and not getting the PPV but listening to it through the squiggly lines. I could hear JR talking about it but having no clue what was going on. Then the news came on with the worst news ever. Crazy for it to happen during wrestling peak time. Everybody in school new about it, I remember over hearing my vice principle talking about it.

Unreal. 13 years. I still remember that night, I taped it and still haven't watched it since. RIP Owen. He was a great heel and played it perfectly. He is sorely missed.

I miss Owen. He had a lot of great matches. Especially against Bret.
My favorite era of Owen Hart was his tag title run with Bulldog.

I still and always will think that the combination of Owen and Jim Neidhart is the single greatest pairing, both in 92 and 94, they were the perfect team. Even moreso than Bret and Anvil.

I remember the pay-per-view and I remember, more than anything, being heartbroken as Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler fought back tears. That was the point where I realized things were not going according to plan. But I would rather not harp on that.
My favorite Owen match was the steel cage match against Bret at Summerslam 1994, which I personally think is better than the Wrestlemania X match. As for my favorite Owen moment, it would have to be anything involving the Hart Foundation reunion in 1997. I have never seen five guys who appeared to love being around each other as much as they did.
I can't believe it's been 13 years already.

It feels like it happened yesterday. One of the most heartbreaking moments of my childhood. Forget about potential, how good his matches were, or anything related to the business....I'll always remember Owen Hart as being a great person. He was a family man, a guy who did the right thing, and from everything you hear about his personal life, just a true gentleman in every sense of the term. Not one day goes by where I don't think about Owen Hart. His death was something that I'll never get over and it will pain me for the rest of my life.

Owen is and always will be in the top 5 of my favorite wrestlers. It saddens my heart that his career was cut short and I can always imagine what he would have accomplished as a wrestler if things ended up differently 13 years ago. For a guy who wanted nothing to do with being a wrestler, he sure as hell had the talent for it. Loved him as a heel and his match at Wrestlemania X with Bret is still one of my all time favorites. Heard he was the nicest guy you could ever meet. You will be missed Owen. Gone but never forgotten.  |

I remember watching that PPV through scrambled channels. What an awful thing to happen. I still think of Owen often.

I started watching just about a year after it happened, very sad, I was so young when it happened even though I never watched wrestling before I remember sitting in the restaurant me and my dad would go all the time and reading about it in the paper, i've seen his matches on youtube and dvds and man do I wish i was watching when he was around, he was so good.
