Given that yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of Owen’s tragic loss, there were a substantial amount of tributes shared from colleagues, friends, family & fans alike. Owen was actually trending for some time on Twitter (in Canada) due to all the wonderful tributes. We will try to sort through the touching comments & posts and share a bunch of them on the site over the weekend.
The Starrcast event (Las Vegas) featured a “Remembering Owen” panel Thursday night. Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross, Mark Henry & Davey Boy Smith Jr. all sat on the panel and shared their memories of Owen. We will do a recap of that panel here on the site as well, but wanted to pass along the link for anyone who wants to watch! The panel was over an hour long and featured a lot of quality Owen Hart rib stories, heartfelt advice and a meaningful discussion of Owen Hart in regards to the WWE Hall of Fame.

Post Profile – “Owen Hart’s Final Day”
A journalistic retrospective on Owen’s last day. Featuring interviews from those who were at the arena that day, members of the media, and information from various novels written about the Hart family (these are listed on the website link). This podcast isn’t a tribute, but is a solid source of information on that day. We wanted to share this one on the site since many fans now may not have been around then, and over the years a lot of misinformation has gone out about the events surrounding Owen’s loss. This podcast sheds a well researched light on the subject.
