Owen Hart

12 years ago tonight Owen Hart died tragicly in the ring after falling from the ceiling in Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri during the WWF Over The Edge Pay-per-view, it was not seen on television, as a pre-taped interview was being shown at the time. I'll never forget that night and tribute show the following night on Raw, Owen was one of the most underated superstars in the business both in the ring and on the mic.
