the King of Hearts
I always remember Owen Hart but the most memorial time I remember him was
when he turned on Bret Hart at Royal Rumble 1994 and how OMG I can’t believe he
did that to his own brother moment it was for me… as a Young kid seeing their
feud was like watching a soap opera, it was one of the first situations I could
remember that I could strongly say it was a male soap opera in wrestling,
actually it might be the first story line that categorized professional
wrestling in general as a male soap opera.. I have always been a fan of Owen
hart as a heel, he knew how to make the fans hate him and was very good at what
he did as a wrestler.. once the late 90s came around and the then WWF was at
the hype of the ratings war against rival WCW… WWE wanted to make a momentary
of Sting flying down from the rafters by making Owen Hart in his blue blazer
gimmick from the 80s doing the same thing.. rumors circulated that Owen Hart
was being punished for not agreeing to a love triangle storyline between Jeff
Jarrett & Debra that WWE was embarrassing Owen…however the morning of May
21st, I was in Art Class which was my first period class and we had the radio
on which was our routine as we did our work and the host of the radio show
reported WWF Owen Hart died in an accident, that was enough to get me to wake
up in class.. still shocked over the news.. I waited that night to watch WWF
Raw only to watch WWF Owen is Raw… very touching tribute in his honor….it was
hard to cope with and I think this was whenn the the ratings war ended after
this… I think WWF realized they gone way too far…Love him or hate him… he was
the very best at what he did and no one could ever replace him.. he truly is
the king of hearts
