I’ve heard Jimmy tell this story multiple times. I always feel bad for him when he does. What an awful thing to happen and to have to witness right in front of you. I wonder if he suffers from any sort of PTSD because of it.
if you watch the Vice episode on Owen's death, when Jimmy Korderas is recounting what happened, he has to stop right before he says, "I thought I heard screaming." I can't imagine how horrifying and distressing that must have been. Talking about that must be one of the hardest things ever
One point never mentioned that owens wife said in darkside of the ring was it should of been canceled by the police because it was a crime scene. Just like when someone dies in a car accident they immediately close down the freeway and do an investigation.
@@arthurmorgan7086 it wasnt shown live, i watched that pay per view. They were showing a promo for the match when he fell. And even if it was it's still considered a crime scene and it should of been treated as one
Even as a kid, he was mostly a heel character my whole childhood, but I still remember thinking of him as a good guy. Odd, wasn't that he couldn't get a gimmick over, just couldn't hide the genuine good guy he was. See ya in heaven one day, brother!
All of his gimmicks were terrible. Except when everyone chanted nugget( which they did after his fall for mins) He died as the blue blazer. Extremely corny and degrading.
Oh man...I can't wait to see the whole interview. Jimmy was my favorite ref. I remember watching the night Owen died, and I will remember that forever.
as Jimmy tells what happen that night...you can tell he is still shaken by it Lawler telling him he was so close to being part of that Tragedy and realiseing what he felt was Owen going past him. one of those things you never forget.
Sunday, May 23,1999 RIP Owen Hart 🙏 Owen Hart last wrestling match was the night before tag team match in Rosemont (Chicago), Illinois: Rosemont Horizon. I attended show.
Same it was on the front of the paper the next day where I live but I'm sure everywhere this was headlines because it is not everyday when something like this happens.
I remember this tragic incident like it was yesterday because it was two days after I turned twenty seven and when Jim Ross said that Owen Hart had died I was so shocked that I don’t remember the rest of the PPV.
In all the chaos and confusion with the Owen incident, one thing truly gets lost. It has to be scary as hell for Owen on the way down. Imagine being however high he was, accidentally tripping a release, and then seeing the ring rush up at you at fast speeds. It had to be pure horror knowing that you are speeding towards your own death and you can’t do anything about it. Owen still was worried about Jimmy and hollered for him to move out of the way. Classy guy, RIP.
I still cry to this day thinking of this. I remember this live when it happened. The camera cut..... Jim Ross said it was not part of the show..... Owen Hart has died....😢😢😢 R.I.P. I hope to meet you on the other side.
The Camara didn't cut, it never showed any part of Owens fall or in the ring, they only showed JR AND King who were only describing the event. I know this because I watched it live.
No need to give a heads up he was the main person who was there in the ring he's gonna get that question all the time unfortunately .. sad but it's a part of history now and people will always wanna know about it even tho it was a tragic day for the hart family and the loving fans
@mattwebb5276 He obviously wasn't expecting it. Look at his face at the beginning, he was pleasantly curious what he was about to be asked until he said "over the edge".
When Jimmy mentioned Owen's potential in the business because of his personality and character he was spot on. The story of him turning heel on Bret leading to Mania X was great because of him and his character work. He was great in the ring too. It's so sad to think of what could have been.
i was watching the ppv at home it wasn’t shown on tv but once JR announced his death it was a shocking moment ill never forget. today is may 23rd the anniversary of owens death and may 7th was his birthday
Owen definitely had more personality than Bret and would've been bigger especially since the industry was starting to favor the bigger personality characters like The Rock, Stone Cold, Chris Jericho etc. I feel like Chris Jericho is what Owen would've been but bigger.
You watched it live? Vince McMahon should be killed or some horrible shit should happen to him. Was a huge slap In the face for Owen harts family having his body broomed to the side so another match could happen. Absolutely disgraceful and don’t understand how’s he isn’t embarrassed about that.
@@1ZosoLZ 😟 Did he hit that vertical corner metal ring post or the padded turnbuckle? I've heard he was trying to lift himself up a little bit after he fell.
I think Vince feared if he stopped the show the fans would riot, even if he gave them a refund and an extra $50 for train/bus fare. Wrestling fans (especially ECW) can be frighteningly bloodthirsty.
I remember all of that night! So tragic! Owen was a great person and a wonderful wrestler! He’s been greatly missed by all the fans .Another life taken too soon!
Neither did the crowd. Nobody cared. Just wanted him hauled off as they got tired of chanting nugget “ out him in a baody bag” and ran out of garbage to throw ona him.
When a employee or in this case a independent contractor dies trying to feed his family and make Vince money is beyond sad. Why Vince didn't stop the show and that's all it is a show is sickening. Vince did not want to stop the show and have to give the money back. A man died but that wasn't a good enough excuse for Vince to stop the show. Karma has caught up with Vince thanks to Janel Grant. Now this greedy son of a bitch will pay the piper. It's been a long time coming and I hope Owen is looking down and smiling from ear to ear.
Vince even tried to get out of paying Owen's widow, Vickie Guerrero or Chris Benoit's kids the remainder of the contract. Martha only got it via the lawsuit. Vickie was an on air performer in WWE, to "earn" the money Eddie still had on his contract. Vince denied Benoit's remain children Chris's money owing by saying it was "proceeds of crime".
So weird the event was called over the edge and he fell.. With all this scandal coming out nowadays and the dark side of the wrestling you begin to wonder what really happened
I was gonna turn 12 years old in December in 1999 and I remembered what i feel bad for jimmy and still sending thoughts and prayers and condolences to owen harts wife and owen hart still be missed and his memories still keep going to this day
Makes sense that he blocked out that day, people often do that with trauma and generally speaking a state of shock tends to block memory formation. Either way. Its terrible that this tragic event even took place to begin with. Owen didnt deserve that. He didnt even like the gimmick
As a teen I remember watching the ppv and remember trying to be patient for the show to continue, I’m pretty sure I would have been disappointed if the show was over, i used to watch every ppv for free on my dads illegal cable box but I’m pretty sure the fans who paid for ppv and at the arena would had been disappointed too. I remember being relieved the show continued and got to see the main event. I didn’t really care for Owen tbh. I was just like damn that’s messed up, but he wasn’t one of my favorite wrestlers and I think most kids/teens felt that way unfortunately. It’s cruel to say but that was just the reality and mindset wwf understood and I think that’s why they continued with the show.
@@Fr0zen23You sound really ignorant and stupid you had rather seen a show go on instead of ending the show due to a man’s life being in jeopardy. Even if you weren’t a fan of him where is your sympathy and heart at?? Like everyone else that had a real heart said the show should have ended period. That’s really sick and disgusting for you have thought like that it says alot about you as a person just sickening.
I was at the show and seen this first hand to the point where I seen him actually falling from the top and hitting the ring. Lot of people thought it was part of the show were yelling and clapping for a moment I knew it wasn't when watching him come down. After everything had calmed down all of the other wrestlers would come out from the back and the first thing they did was looked up just to see how far he had fallen........ sad moment
At that time I was able to watch all the ppvs for free but for some reason I didn’t watch that ppv and I remember later that night my mom telling me Owen had died.
From what i understand Owen's chest hit the top turnbuckle which cased him to die from blunt force trauma. I wonder if he had landed on the ropes if it maybe could have saved him..
he fell 80 to 100 foot from rafters....100 feet nearly rounds to a 9 to 10 stories building. One storey is usually 10.83 feet, so multiplying that by near 9 feet gives you a bit more around 100 ft...falling on the ropes wouldnt change much
@@Robert-nu4vcthey always say he got up and fell bacc down hence him looking into his eyes. He landed on his chest and jumped up one last time and immediately collapsing
The most sickening thing about the whole tragedy is that WWE decided to go on with the ppv instead of stopping it, alot of people got into alot of shit because of it, i honestly think that owen hart would have won the WWE title at some point if his untimely death didn't happen, RIP owen 🙏❤️
I watch that when it happened we thought it was just part of the show like they were making something up you know but it wasn't and that's pretty sad rest in peace to the legend of the blue blazer Owen hart
It being the attitude Era and them pushing the boundaries people probably thought it was a dummy or something. With them then pushing the dummy under the ring and Blue Blazer/Owen jumping out.
REALLY wish Owen was alive. He would've seen how his type of wrestling is pretty much a thing right now for ALL of pro wrestling. Even going back to his Calgary wrestling days.
I remember that night i was at my aunt's house and we were watching the ppv and just went dark and my mom broke he arm around the same time i remember the screams and the tv go black we thought it was apart of the show until they announce he was dead just tragic
Watched it on ppv. I was a kid. The TV went black. I will never forget it. First death I saw on tv. I knew something was off when he was coming down and the TV just went blank. But I was too young to realize what happened until Jim Ross told everyone.
I was watching, and, I couldn't believe that they said that he passed, and, I seriously couldn't believe it. I had a hard time telling what was real or not when I was younger. I remember checking the news to see if they said anything, and, to my surprise, I was international news.
I don’t think Owen ever would have been bigger than Bret. He was pretty big himself but by the time of the tragic accident he had already been around quite a while.
Looking at his face dead in the ring scared me! His eyes were still opened but he was already gone too heaven it wasn't nothing they could've done at all I was in the 4th grade & still remembering my teacher telling one of my other teachers in the 📰 how he fell 50 or 78 feet too his death intoo the ring & remembering going home watching the Monday Night Raw Is War paying tribute too the late I still watch this death video Owen Hart! RIP 💔🙏🏾 out too the hart family
Come on guys, I completely understand respecting the dead but Owen wasn’t going to be no top guy. He kept going down the card since him and Bret feuded and stayed a low mid carder till the blue blazer gimmick which would been low card. Plus he wanted to retire within a couple years anyways cause his family meant more then the business. I did like the heel Owen. He wasn’t good on the mic, was better as a heel like Bret was better as a heel.
D Lo Brown told a rib story about Owen D Lo was new and nervous wrestling in front such large crowd Owen told D Lo look at the refs shoes Owen told D Lo he untied them they locked up again Owen told D Lo to look down Owen had in tied D Lo's boots Owen made D Lo laugh Owen asked him are you nervous now he said no not anymore and they put on a great match with Owen calling all the spots.
Idk why I watch this stuff about the blue blazer 2x slammy winner "NUGGET!!!!" AKA Owen 😢😢😢 I get upset/emotional (I know most ppl would will and do think it's dumb) I instantly flash back to the moment it happened luckily the cameras pand out before...I instantly knee something was wrong by the look of terror I'm JRs eyes then King took off then 20 to 30 mins of the cameras just showing the crowed then back to the announcer table Kings eyes swollen and red from crying then JR was all chocked up as he was forced to inform the world then later on him crying as he tells the world that he had pass at the hospital...I mean I remember exactly where I was at doing and siting like it just happened regardless RIP NUGGET RIP
I was a huge owen hart fan. Tbh i called a friend when this happened and didn't watch the rest of the ppv. Never watched it since wwe should have refunded people in the audience and on ppv and especially cancel the damn thing if this was shane i can bet he would have taken a leave of absence for months and would have pulled the plug
That was no accident. That was murder. Owen was the scapegoat and sacrifice. I think they took him out to punish Bret Hart for his stance and speaking against them. A lot of wrestlers have died tragically for that cult.
I’ve heard Jimmy tell this story multiple times. I always feel bad for him when he does. What an awful thing to happen and to have to witness right in front of you. I wonder if he suffers from any sort of PTSD because of it.
I remember the time Mike chodia and them kick his ass in a six pack challenge remember the refreee strike

@@skippythealien9627the music while Jim Cornet talks about it sends chills everytime
Humans aren't equipped to deal with seeing death. We are too intelligent and aware of what death is, so he will have trauma from it his whole life
I’m sure it still haunts him…

McMahon is responsible for Owens demise
I don’t think Owen ever would have been bigger than Bret. He was pretty big himself but by the time of the tragic accident he had already been around quite a while.
I was turning 11 years old two months later after Owen Hart died 😢😢 😭 again sad 😢😭 rip.
When this happened I was graduating from elementary school 🏫🎒 going on to middle school 🏫🎒.
I’m sure Jimmy really loves having to relive that just for your audience’s entertainment.
You’re listening aren’t you? Douche bag…
I'm sure jimmy agreed to discuss it before hand
Own Hart was kind hearted!!
You should interview Paul London, ICP, Monty brown, just a few ideas.
Looking at his face dead in the ring scared me! His eyes were still opened but he was already gone too heaven it wasn't nothing they could've done at all I was in the 4th grade & still remembering my teacher telling one of my other teachers in the 📰 how he fell 50 or 78 feet too his death intoo the ring & remembering going home watching the Monday Night Raw Is War paying tribute too the late I still watch this death video Owen Hart! RIP 💔🙏🏾 out too the hart family
I’m still trying to figure out why wasn’t it immediately evacuated because it was indeed a crime scene.
you clearly don't know the difference between a crime and an accident
Come on guys, I completely understand respecting the dead but Owen wasn’t going to be no top guy. He kept going down the card since him and Bret feuded and stayed a low mid carder till the blue blazer gimmick which would been low card.
Plus he wanted to retire within a couple years anyways cause his family meant more then the business. I did like the heel Owen. He wasn’t good on the mic, was better as a heel like Bret was better as a heel.
He was trying to leave wrestling and be with his family I guess that wasn’t in his contract. He was set up by Vince

I just watched it you can’t even tell anything happened but if you look in the ring it still blood on the mat
That was not Owen's blood
Damar Hamlin brought me here 😢
My wife and I will never forget this day. We were preparing for our wedding on June 12 when this happened. Owen also died six days before my birthday
I always thought Owen was better than Bret. R.I.P Owen.
Best sharpshooter by far
D Lo Brown told a rib story about Owen D Lo was new and nervous wrestling in front such large crowd Owen told D Lo look at the refs shoes Owen told D Lo he untied them they locked up again Owen told D Lo to look down Owen had in tied D Lo's boots Owen made D Lo laugh Owen asked him are you nervous now he said no not anymore and they put on a great match with Owen calling all the spots.
Would be cool to see him do one last match in aew
Idk why I watch this stuff about the blue blazer 2x slammy winner "NUGGET!!!!" AKA Owen 😢😢😢 I get upset/emotional (I know most ppl would will and do think it's dumb) I instantly flash back to the moment it happened luckily the cameras pand out before...I instantly knee something was wrong by the look of terror I'm JRs eyes then King took off then 20 to 30 mins of the cameras just showing the crowed then back to the announcer table Kings eyes swollen and red from crying then JR was all chocked up as he was forced to inform the world then later on him crying as he tells the world that he had pass at the hospital...I mean I remember exactly where I was at doing and siting like it just happened regardless RIP NUGGET RIP
I was a huge owen hart fan. Tbh i called a friend when this happened and didn't watch the rest of the ppv. Never watched it since wwe should have refunded people in the audience and on ppv and especially cancel the damn thing if this was shane i can bet he would have taken a leave of absence for months and would have pulled the plug
I like to think Owen was hiding around a corner while watching him at the front desk.
Vince is a Crazy man to keep the ppv going
After that Event that transpired
Dude it was hilarious when he fell. We laughed so hard. I’m honestly sad the footage is lost. It’s so funny
@@GamingniqqaWTF 😳 dude you’re cold
They killed Owen. Austin shot call
That was no accident. That was murder. Owen was the scapegoat and sacrifice. I think they took him out to punish Bret Hart for his stance and speaking against them. A lot of wrestlers have died tragically for that cult.
Can you explain please what did Bret hart say about the company?
I absolutely loved Owen. But he was not on the come up at that time. I remember specifically being pissed off that he was taking the brunt of brets bs
Something sounds fishy here. Owens death should’ve been investigated
