Did he really need to bring Neville's talent into this? Guy is an incredible wrestler just like Owen was. As for Booker' comment, the man didn't say it with malice or anything, he just didn't think.

Something like this. JBL: "Neville could be our first high flying King. Or I suppose Owen Hart was a high flyer." Booker: "Owen didn't defy gravity." hahahahahahah!!

We all want Martha to forgive the WWE so we can see Owen get inducted into the HOF and get lots of Owen merchandise released but how is that meant to happen when a worker in the company he died in makes a joke comment about his death. Bookers comment could possibly drive an even bigger wedge between Martha and the WWE.
I like Booker T and I'm sure he didn't mean what he said but you should really think before you speak and the Hart family do have a right to be offended because their brother died in a ridiculous stunt that should never have happened. Call them whiners and crybabies all you want but I myself was a huge Owen Hart fan and was shocked when Booker said it.
Also I disagree with Bruce regarding Neville he had beef with Booker so there was no need to bring him into the situation.

It had to do with him not being as much of a high flyer as Neville. Booker obviously never took into account how Owen died before making the comment. In context it was not an insult or a way to mock Owen.

When Booker made the comment the first thing I thought of was the fall so he probably didn't think of that when he made the comment.

I'm more annoyed he took a shot at Neville for absolutely no reason. Bruce can suck it.

Neville is a better wrestler than Owen, in my opinion. There was no need for Bruce Hart to even bring Neville's name into this discussion. Owen was incredibly overrated. People forget he had over 7 years in the WWE before his accident. Booker T shouldn't even have apologized for anything. He did NOTHING wrong. He made a comment about how Owen Hart wasn't a high flyer like Neville. The fact that people on the internet decided to turn it into a jab at the way Owen died is not Booker's fault. Since Owen's accident I've probably heard 300 comments/jokes/one-liners about it. Comedy is how people deal with tragedy, going back thousand years. It's human nature. People are so ing entitled nowadays that EVERYTHING has to be taken offense so they can jump on their ing box and get some attention. I just wish everyone would STFU.

I love Owen
But Neville is way more than half the worker Owen was. That kid is something special.

:Neville pulls of a great top rope moonsault: "Owen Hart didn't defy gravity" :OHHHHHH HE MEANS WHEN OWEN FELL!!!: I don't recall ever reading or watching Owen do what Neville does weekly. I do get how people could take it the wrong way but this just seems like people wanting to complain about something like they do with everything these days. I didn't see the show, I only read about this "controversy" and that was my first reaction. I didn't lose my crap like many others did though. The way most people are taking about it makes it seem as if he was making a sick joke, unfortunately there hasn't been many of us who took the time to get all the facts before getting involved.

The Hart family are the biggest whiners/complainers in history. They whine about everything. They need to grow the hell up and act like adults, not children. Bret is bitter, Bruce it bitter, generic Harts # 3, 4, 5 are bitter.

Bruce has always been trying to get as much attention as he could. He has always been bitter the WWE wouldn't take him when they bought out Stu. Hell Bruce even bleed his father dry trying to restart Stampede AFTER Stu sold the rights to Vince.
Now he's jumping on the bandwagon over a casual comment made by Booker (which could have easily been fed to him by someone else) and is trying to once again make his name relevant.
Booker's comment had NOTHING to do with the way Owen died, it was more about putting Neville over as JBL first commented on how Neville would be the first "High Flying King." Next thing you know JBL brings up Owen and Booker makes his comment.
People really (especially Bruce in this situation) need to stop making mountains out of mole hills. It was a casual comment that was never meant to reference Owen's Death. It was meant as a comparison between Owen and Neville' style/gimmick. Sure Owen was a great worker who incorporated high flying spots into his matches where as I see Neville more of natural high flyer who works his ground game into the spots he can hit. Two completely yet similar styles in my opinion.

Which is odd to me because Bret is the only one that really did anything. Neville is great, he did nothing wrong and neither did Book. Just more over sensitive garbage, that's society now a days. You'd think it wouldn't be this way in wrestling.

Bruce is just bitter, because THREE times he was supposed to be brought into the WWE, and it didn't happen:
- he was supposed to be part of the booking committee in the early 90's, til ,when talking to JJ Dillon on the phone , Bruce told him how the WWF was horrible,Vince and the booking committee had no idea what they were doing, and he was going to "save the WWF". . . he never got the call back to join them.
- he was originally going to be the Hart brother who turned on Bret at Survivor series 93, and work the program with Bret in 94, til the Hitman convinced Vince and Pat Patterson that Owen would be the better candidate.
- he was suppossed to be the 6th member of the Hart Foundation in 1997, and was even going to go with the gimmick of being the Canadian Light Heavyweight Champion. but then he massively screwed up at the July 97 In your house : Calgary Stampede PPV - first, during the finish, which was meant to showcase Owen pinning austin,to lead into their Summerslam showdown, Bruce stole the spotlight by going off and Hulking Up against all the other members of the American team at ringside, and was verbally berated by Bret, Owen, and Vince afterwards. secondly, during a spot towards the end there where he was to help throw Austin back in the ring, Bruce took a liberty with Austin and punched him as hard as he could in the kidney ( watch it on the Network. you can see it clearly. he walks around other family members to specifically punch Austin! ). this would cause Austin to end up missing a few shows during the next 2 weeks with a bruised kidney.

Bruce is a knob, and none of the Harts care about what he thinks. Booker just goofed. It's more a sign of him being a terrible commentator than it is anything else. Bruce is just bitter, because THREE times he was supposed to be brought into the WWE, and it didn't happen: - he was supposed to be part of the booking committee in the early 90's, til ,when talking to JJ Dillon on the phone , Bruce told him how the WWF was horrible,Vince and the booking committee had no idea what they were doing, and he was going to "save the WWF". . . he never got the call back to join them. - he was originally going to be the Hart brother who turned on Bret at Survivor series 93, and work the program with Bret in 94, til the Hitman convinced Vince and Pat Patterson that Owen would be the better candidate. - he was suppossed to be the 6th member of the Hart Foundation in 1997, and was even going to go with the gimmick of being the Canadian Light Heavyweight Champion. but then he massively screwed up at the July 97 In your house : Calgary Stampede PPV - first, during the finish, which was meant to showcase Owen pinning austin,to lead into their Summerslam showdown, Bruce stole the spotlight by going off and Hulking Up against all the other members of the American team at ringside, and was verbally berated by Bret, Owen, and Vince afterwards. secondly, during a spot towards the end there where he was to help throw Austin back in the ring, Bruce took a liberty with Austin and punched him as hard as he could in the kidney ( watch it on the Network. you can see it clearly. he walks around other family members to specifically punch Austin! ). this would cause Austin to end up missing a few shows during the next 2 weeks with a bruised kidney. Owen said he would have quit rather than put Bruce over lol. He also gave Austin a low blow.
