I met Bret about 7 years ago and I said to him "i was so sorry when I heard about Owen..tragic" he gave me a hug and said "me too"..we had a moment..Bret is a very nice and humble man.
Similar experience. Very humble. After everything, Bret still cares about the sport and entertainment but the direction has changed and nobody can blame him for the BS that happened.
I think it’s a bit too easy for people to blame vince for the accident I mean the writers wrote this stunt in and the stunt coordinators are the ones who decided to use the quick release harness yes he should have stopped the show but would you want to be the one to announce the reason to a sold out arena that he was dead and they all have to leave the building think about it
jasser2878 and my point is Vince shouldn’t have even had a say in it being shut down. As soon as his death was announced, the police should have intervened. Sent everyone home and started an investigation into what actually happened
totally agree with your comment from what I read and videos are watched from the past I heard the reason why they're showing on is because they were on live and they didn't want everybody knowing that he just died and they didn't think it was appropriate to let everybody know what happened at that time I agree. That it should never have went on but just to cut the show people would have wondered what happened.
+Tony Haboush, he fell like 50 + feet from the rafters to the corner of the ring, and landed on his HEAD. I'm pretty sure that the entire audience knew he was dead.
+Blackhorse Scouts Out yeah they might have but at the same point from what I heard and watched from other wrestlers that were there they said they didn't know. and of course WWE is not going to cut off the pay-per-view in the middle of it so people know especially when they didn't want to tell the family right away I mean I don't know if I could really blame him for that I mean if you were in their position. Which is a very tough position would you cut it off in the middle and then have to explain to everybody what happened not even that you also have to pay all your people for not containing the show plus of hay per view plus to advertisers I mean it was hard to know what everybody was thinking at the time.
He lied all the way through his biography All the way through He also had the class to bring up multiple wrestlers drug issues, including Neidhart and Bulldog after their deaths He refused to drop the title putting Vince in an impossible situation in montreal The man changed wrestling, but such a dick
@@LordHeath1972 I just don't get it, he's one of the few remaining members of the hart dynasty, and is the only surviving member of the Hart Foundation He could be turning that legacy into something special, instead, content to bitch about thirty year old feuds on RUclips🙄
@@LordHeath1972 Well I don't know. If I had lost what Bret had lost, I'd probably end up in jail or a psychiatric ward. So Bret being bitter is understandable.
+getnotoriousXBL It was Vince who backed out of the contract he made with Bret. WCW offered Bret almost 3 million dollars to sign with them, so Vince offered him 1.5 million to stay. Bret wanted to do business, like when he passed the torch to Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 12. Then Michaels faked a leg injury to avoid putting Bret over at Wrestlemania 13. (He was seen backflipping off the top rope only a couple months later, and even Kevin Nash said Shawn's knee injury was fake.) It was Shawn Michaels who forfeited several titles without losing them to other wrestlers. So if Bret was guilty of not wanting to do business, then Michaels was guilty of it multiple times. Vince lied to Bret. The plan was for Bret to lose the title to someone the next night on Raw. It's funny how they claim Vince didn't trust Eric Bischoff and couldn't risk the WWE title being shown on WCW television. You mean like how Ric Flair wore the WCW title on WWE television back in 1992? It would have served him right. Bret Hart is a man's man. And Vince is a liar.
+getnotoriousXBL Your an idiot, McMahon gave Hart a 20 year contract, in the 90's. Hart walked away from the contract because of McMahon didn't want to pay it anymore. Hart initially rejected a 9 million dollar, three year contract from Ted Turner for McMahon and he still screwed him over.... learn some facts before your run your mouth.

Easy to say when your livelihood isn’t on the line. Pressure is a hell of a thing, especially when you’ve got a wife and kids to feed and all you’ve ever known was wrestling. Owen trusted Vince, Vince said he would out in the Blue Blazer costume and enter from the rafters, so Owen did his job.
He doesn’t have anything good coming too him either...cheated on his wife...bitches and complains about everything too anybody with a an ear fuck this dude lol
@@brianwells5123 So he's human and makes mistakes? God forbid. He has a reason to complain about Vince McMahon and the WWE. He has the balls to stand up and talk. Maybe, just maybe he has something to say that we can all learn from.
From the Screwjob, to the Owen tragedy, to his career-ending concussion and all his health problems he's faced since then, Bret Hart might just have the most tragic story in all of professional wrestling.
I believe Bret may have redemption now. AEW just announced that they have partnered with the Owen Hart Foundation. God bless this company for doing this, and it just goes to show how much AEW cares for wrestlers. Owens wife must have taken her time to agree to this.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 one thing I’ll say I’ll never judge a very hard working guy from the outside. His drive to be great is so crazy some people are bound to look at him crazy. I’m not saying he was right fit going on wit the show but generally Vince probably was making so much happen it drove him crazy
Was it right to continue the show? Maybe not. But this is a physical sport and it's entertainment. Have people died in football? Yeah. Have people died while filming movies? Yeah. Are you spending time vilifying Roger Goodell or Joel Souza? I doubt it. It may sound callous to you, but the participants in (and the viewers of) wrestling understand there is a risk involved. Owen knew that, he broke Steve Austin's neck months before this tragedy. That said, while you sit here and complain about Vince, you're still consuming his product. Hypocritical, and churlish. Stop being like Bret and making this all about you.
@@sandews8564 his will to be wealthy is so great that he will exploit and walk over anyone he has to just to make that extra dollar. Corporate overlords are not men to be revered or respected unless you’re a piece of shit that wishes you could exploit people that trust you. Yes, Vince unlike a current billionaire, did bust his ass building the WWF into the monopoly that it became. But he is no different than any other stupidly rich asshole. He will do anything and exploit whomever he has to, because money drives people like him. He systematically targeted and destroyed every single promotion until no competition stood against him, and instead of make sweeping quality of life changes to help people like Scott Hall, Piper and Jake he doubled down. These men and now women put their literal lives on the line for that pop from a crowd, and Vince can’t even give them the respect to list them as employees and give them access to healthcare. The fucking NFL, THE NFL!, has a better system for retired players than Vince has for wrestlers. Piper knew the score long before he died. Wrestlers don’t live long enough to hit that retirement, because they put it all on the line and Vince exploited their eagerness to go bigger. The piece of shit counter-sued Owen’s widow, man. I mean come on. That’s the kind of shit Bret was referring to. Vince has no moral compass.
Pro football game stopped last season because player had cardiac arrest on field. ACLS protocol to save his life, game stopped. He wasn’t crucial to the game continuing in your case Dim Ning
Bret Hart, was always my favorite wrestler. When I was a kid, Bret Hart came down the ramp, and he put his plastic mirrored glasses on me! That was when he was in Calgary! What a great family they had...
People say Bret has become bitter in recent years. I’m not justifying him going on rants about others but Bret has really been through A LOT of shit since 97. Getting Screwed by Vince, losing his brother, Goldberg ending his career, losing Davey Boy Smith, a stroke that happened HOURS after his divorce. I really feel that Bret needs a hug because he’s a trooper for all the shit he had to put up with.
@@robertmartin3524 that thinking is why there's so much wrong and murder and destruction in the world. People not using their heart in interactions. Well, if your loved ones or you ever die, remember that it's business, k?
I still don't understand why he didn't stop the show and they didn't tell the crowd about Owen's death, I found out about it from an usher. I can't even watch wrestling anymore because I'm traumatized.
Cory Evans Bret was/his excelent the only thing that he has against him is that he was never that good on mic and the Shawn Rivalry since wwe screwed him good in favor of michaels and the fact that Hart cringed for so many years about it made fans to grew tired of him and lose the respect he deserves... the sad part is noone's to blame here but him. If he were more mature about it he would have got much more respect then he gets today
After watching "The Dark Side Of the Ring" they was one thing that was brought up that never occurred to me. Why didn't the police shut the PPV down. As they was a "Crime Scene" should had been stopped so they could gather evidence and all that. I mean, The ring was broken, Blood on the mat. Makes you wonder about alot of things now.
Just before some wise ass comes in here saying “THAT wasn’t his blood!” Yes, most of the blood wAs from the brood on heat (fake blood) from their blackout booodbath attacks However DNA was taken forensic evidence after the show the blood on the canvas was human blood as well so owens blood was also on the mat. He shattered something jn his left elbow and apparently it didn’t bleed out it would have on any living person but his heart wasn’t beating so that’s the reason it didn’t bleed out
Honestly and I HATE to say this...but many fans are ASSHOLES and LOSERS...the cops probably said and wrongly of course...I have worked on both side of the law (suit and tie wise) promise you two things happened: 1 There was a payment made by Vince or the police honestly thought the fans would riot because so many want to see THEIR WRASSLER and cops were of a riot. Come on Brett went in the center of a wring oon WCW to talk about this and half the fans booed him and even yelles "HUrry Up" so the next match could go forward. I stopped going to matches in 1988 but then again....I went to NWA...we had smarter fans....WWE Stone Cold era??? IDIOTS
The older I got, the more I learned about Vince, the less I watched wrestling. I haven’t watched WWE in many years, mostly because I can’t stand the idea of giving Vince a penny.
It was very tasteless and disrespectful that the WWE just continued with that PPV after what happened to Owen. I'm so glad I never saw it because hearing about that made me sick.
@@wilsonbrito9565 That doesn't even matter. For example, If I owned a gas station chain, and an employee gets shot and killed during a robbery, I'm shutting that store down for the night, cause that is a human being, not just my money maker. I personally think it was insensitive to keep the show going. It takes a cold SOB to do some shit like that. You can be a ruthless business man any other time, but when it comes to some one dying, think like a human, not a business man.
That interviewer just pisses me off. He really tries to bring Bret in the most bitter, spitefull mood possible and hopes, that Bret would spit out some poison ...
Bret Hart is the man! Owen Hart was just as good. Perfect heal. I love the Hart's. Best wrestling family of all time. R.I.P. Owen! I watch your matches all the time on WWE Network just watched your cage match against Bret. Such a classic. Gone but never forgotten. Wish you were still here.
That was so articulate and accurate in a very real, very depressing way. Rip Owen... last thing he did was try and protect the people he was falling onto. Then wheeled out like a bad dinner
Bret was always my favorite wrestler for a number of reasons: His technical wrestling style and his willingness to face the opposition persona made him exciting to watch in the ring--when I think about it, that persona of facing heartbreak and struggles became reality. Having met him many times, Bret proved to me that he was a warm, genuine and kind person who sincerely appreciated his fans' support. It was interestling about what he'd said about the wrestling fans being called "marks" and that the wrestlers were really the marks. I remember one time my friend and I had asked Bret, "So are you going to be at [this event] at [city and state]?" Though Bret wasn't rude at all about our asking this, he'd said, "Well, this IS the first time I'm hearing about this; it WOULD be nice if they told me about it first." Off hand, I don't remember what the event was but I've no doubt that Bret followed up on it ASAP.
From the first time I'd seen him wrestle, from watching him interact with his peers and his fans, and finally meeting him in person during the Wrestlemania X Fan Festival--and many times afterwards to this day--Bret "Hitman" Hart proved to me that not only was he a professional in the ring...to this day I believe he is a very decent human being, someone not full of himself at all. Yes, he had "the best there is, the best there was..."slogan as did other athletes--e.g. Muhammed Ali--but in my years of seeing him in the ring, meeting with him, sometimes even talking with him a bit, Bret proved to me that he was not above his fans; he proved that he loved his fans and treated them with respect. I will never forget a photo/autograph opportunity when I took a picture with him--around the '90s when I didn't have a great camera--and he'd said,"The flash didn't go off; is that alright?" and agreed to let me take another picture with the flash. What a good call on his part! I wouldn't have had a picture of us...but that's just one of the examples of his decency and how he cared for his fans. It was such a heartbreak for him to lose Owen in that accident; I'd met him too...also a nice decent person. I'd stopped watching wrestling because of that accident as well as Vince's callous attitude toward it; like "OK so we lost another circus animal; we'll just replace him." I think Vince seemed to "forget" that the wrestlers were humans instead of cash cows. About 3 years after Owen's death, I lost my sister to unnatural causes...I can venture a guess what trauma Bret and his family went through when they lost Owen. But to end on a positive note--somewhat similar to the last line in the film "The Babe"--to quote this line as best as I can to Bret: "You were the best. There was never anyone else like you."
I remember the day Owen died😪 I was little at the time and watching happen on TV. I didn't understand what was going on and thought Owen will make it, he is invincible, he will come back. I cried when they announced that he was gone. Very heart breaking. The WWF, ( WWF at the time ), lost a wonderful wrestler😪😪
Grand master sexay was a criminal who took his own life I have empathy for the guy but he was nothing like Owen who died by a horrific, unneeded accident and Owen was an amazing person who didn’t even want to be there to begin with
@@MachoWrestling101 True, ppl should not compare Owen to wrestlers who were criminals. Owen so pious that he did not even have a beer ruclips.net/video/1YboRau3fd8/видео.html
If it wasn't for him the harts wouldent be shit not vinces fault Bret was a total asshole who didn't understand the buisness..and that whole family was selfish pricks who thought they could run everything
Man Bret looks damn good here. Just shows what the stroke did to him. He now speaks slower and more carefully, and gets emotional easily. All side effects of a stroke. Sadly my grandfather went through the same.
I had 2 mild strokes a couple of years apart the last one knocked the heck out of me. I'm a little forgetful and I'm a little more emotional . So I know what your saying thank God Brett you have your family like myself that's everything . God bless you as He has blessed me
I was about to reply. “True, but this was 25 years ago, most adults will look significantly better a quarter century ago”. Then I saw your comment was 11 years old.
Seeing bret get old makes me feel old.... im almost 32 now.... when the hitman was my age .. he was electrifying in the ring.... he was the ring general.... that squared circle was his yard, his technicality was so smooth and superb... the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be
Bret is so genuine and this is why he went over as one of the greatest Faces in wrestling history. I was shocked to hear Germans tell me about Bret Hitman Hart when I expected to hear about Hulk Hogan. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and its clear that Bret was the best there is, the best there was, the best there will ever be.
should of fucked up with benoit too their medical personel can tell if someone has brain damage 1 pupil bigger than the other and it is right iv checked and you can see it on eddies tribute + H O F think HHH noticed told vince how much would beniot of sued them for if they noticed and let him go i mean it would be a lawsuit right for them not to have noticed
All vince cares about is making money... back in the 1980's he defended Jimmy Snuka in court for murder just because Snuka was his biggest asset back in the day
Bret came back for the fans... you also realise how fucked bret got himself.. he has said in many interviews including wwe ones that too many fans want him back
When I heard that Owen actually yelled for people to get out of the way as he was falling, that made me respect him a lot. Even as he was free falling to his death he cared about the lives of others.
He didn’t give his life for the industry. Vince and the WWF took a father from his kids and a husband from his wife for his bottom line. There was no rhyme or reason to make Owen enter the ring that way except trying to mimic what WCW was doing with Sting. They had him under contract, he was not even going to get an Intercontinental Title push at this point, and they put him at risk for what? A mid-card match no one would have remembered three months later if he had not plummeted to his death.
Bret... Love you brother... You are a true soldier staying alive through all the pain you have experienced... Inspires me to keep pushing on through my experiences of loss of close loved ones...my dad in particular... If you can do it... So can I...
Losing any relative is hard but to be told when u are thousands of miles in the air not able to contact anyone that must of been awfull we still miss u owen ❤
I remember how disgusted I was when they kept going with the other matches. It was heartbreaking and sickening watching the obviously devastated wrestlers trying to play their parts and wrestle.
quit lying. you and everyone else thought it was a part of the staging and theatrics that was happening in wrestling... the people that were there in that arena didnt seem concerned because they too thought that this was just another stunt... lets not act like these guys werent jumping off cages and what not... no one in the audience looked shock like a real accident had occurred ... now I knew that wasnt a stunt but i also understood that they continued the event because the people in the arena didnt realize that someone had really died.... how cruel would it be that the people in the arena saw someone die and still cheered on the next match? other than the employees of wwe no one in that arena knew what really happened in that moment
@@bjvu9460 we were made well aware that it wasn't part of the show. The actual live attending audience were absolutely clueless and went home still not having any clue what really happened.
Bret can hardly hide the smugness when he says that he believed he was the best. And by god, he was. The most believable performer in the history of wrestling.
Owen was magic everything he did athletically or sometimes he was doing a little guest commentary in the late 90s, or basically anything he did was what a wrestler should be. Great heel great worker total grinder he could make a match with anyone work including tag matches or double crosses like kicking shamrock in the balls.
Even if I wasn't always a fan of Bret I always respected him. I can't believe how hard this must have been. Vince has always been vindictive and can hold a grudge for a long time and not just with Bret. I think Bret saw Wrestling as a place to wrestle. He was certainly at his best in a technical match. Proving that he was the best there is, was and will ever be.
I still remember my daddy 20 yeArs ago telling me he was the best technical wrestler there was at 10 yrs old and new to wrestling I had no idea wth that meant) but as I became literally obsessed w wrestling I got over him but now I see he was and the fact that he is such a classy guy and became as huge as he did it shows it...because he def kept his dignity in all he did.
DatShadowGuy Why doesn't Austin get any shit for doing the exact same thing to Ricky Steamboat? He botched a piledriver on him and ended his career. From what I understand, Austin and Owen never patched things up. But the fans never say anything about Austins botch. Karmas a botch.
Firstly I wanna say it's really hard to think about what happened and even now I miss Owen Hart as a great wrestler. He was so talented and young when it happened. Secondly I respect Bret Hart as a wrestler and I appreciate his honesty and his abilities in the ring as a wrestler. He was the best technical wrestler of all time. And last but not least I wanna say Vince McMahon's handling of the tragedy that happened to Owen shows the kind money hungry and uncompassionate personality he really is. The wresting pay per view should've been stopped. A man who was a great wrestler just died. Bret is right. If it was Shane who died Vince Mcmahon would've canceled the rest of the show. It's a shame the way in was all handled. Bret is a class act and he handled this all the right way with honesty and dignity. RIP Owen Hart.
I believe the show should have stopped. I was in attendance for Over The Edge 1999. I saw Owen fall and I left after the tragedy. I can understand to a point Vince had to worry about repercussions, but the show should have ended. How awful it was to Owen’s friends and the other wrestlers who had to go on after such a horrible tragedy. I mistakenly watched it on WWE Network and I could tell many wrestlers just weren’t into it and were shook up. I don’t buy the rowdy violent audience bullshit. I think most of the fans would have understood cancelling the show. I was told by a friend who stayed at the show they never told the live audience what happened.
There is a picture I saw somewhere where The Undertaker is in the ring staring at Owen’s blood on the mat and looking totally out of it. He looked lost.
I remember watching live that night the payper view with my son Fred I was shocked that they continued the show omg what those wrestlers went through trying to perform after they lost Owen, I don't know how any management can put someone through that, out of respect they should have ended it right there, and give the wrestlers who are like family to get themselves together and be there for each other,we will always remember Owen❤️
If I was one of the wrestlers that were pushed out to preform right after the incident, I wouldn't be able to. Imagine being pushed out to do a good preformance after something like that happened. Absolutley sick!
TheSsbcandidates How would that matter? It doesn't matter who I am. All I'm saying is that if I was pushed out to wrestle after an incident like that... I wouldn't be able to.
Your right about that last comment Brett. You were definitely in my top three wrestlers of all time. And you will be the best there is best there was and best there ever will be, for infinity and beyond
"Owen was a really...a very careful, smart, cautious guy...." Except when he broke Steve Austin's neck in 97' due to an inverted piledriver that Stone Cold specifically told him twice that he didn't want prior to the match. He went ahead and did it anyways. One year later, Owen has a match with Dan Severn. Owen uses the same exact piledriver move, using the the same exact technique, he breaks Dan Severn's neck.
Oh my gracias GOD 😭😭😭 he said the show went on even after Owen's passing that had to be the most devastating low blow to Owens immediate family oh my GOD I am IMMENSELY SORRY 😢😢😢
I agree with brett's self evaluation that he was the best. He was really great at the actual art if wtestling. He could make it look extremely real, yet never leave a bruise in the opponent. Many guys today and back then were sloppy and would accidentally injure their opponents by incorrectly executing a manoeuvre.
Bret is an absolute legend. He told it as it was. If it was Shane the show would not have gone on. Just read Bret’s book. It’s so so sad that he was let down by his own sisters just because they wanted their husbands jobs back.
As such a huge Owen fan, I still grieve over the entire situation that happened from the time Bret left to that dreadful night Owen died. The Harts were as good as it gets. Even beyond age 34, Owen would have gone on to become a world champion for sure, and Bret had a near perfect career aside from those garbage years in WCW. WCW had ZERO creativity and basically purchased their popularity from other wrestlers' successes prior to their time in WCW, and without those low times being lost in the Bischoff shuffle, I think Bret would have been an undisputable top 5 all-time talent. That stint in WCW may have been a necessary move for him at that time in his life, but to me, it leaves a big stain on an otherwise flawless wrestling career.

Shane Tumminello negative. His WIFE said his blood was still on the mat as they rolled Owen from the ring and were pushing other wrestlers out to wrestle as Owen’s lifeless body was rolled pass them. So who do I believe...you with no account of anything or Owen’s wife who walked the cat walk where her husband fell from and who looked and took pictures of the ring? I guess those broken boards in the ring were from times before as well.
MrBlytheville Martha wasn’t even at the event. She even says that she wasn’t in the Dark Side Of The Ring episode. She can say whatever she wants regarding the blood but all you have to do is look up Sunday Night Heat from May 23, 1999 and you will see the Broods blood bath. Additionally, you can look up the medical report for Owen and there is NO external bleeding listed. I agree with everything else you said regarding the broken boards and that they kept the show going. I’m just simply stating that was not his blood in the ring.
MrBlytheville ruclips.net/video/xXOUsXjbGmQ/видео.html 34:52 mark. Matt Hardy sets his hand on the apron, in the same spot Owen would end up laying. There’s your blood spot.
Heartwrenching point when brett says you never want to find out about news like that on an airplane. When he said "trust me on that" it really hit me. Basically I dont think I can fly. I even have nightmares about flying in planes for some reason. Basically for the exact reason mr hart said. Theres nowhere to go... nowhere to pace... nowhere to think. I dont think I can do it without bad news on the mind. But for the same reasons due to my panic attacks. I cant imagine what brett what went through. Ever since, Brett hart has been wearing the pain of his brother and the way his own career path went with wwf etc. The guy is as real as it comes. Im glad brett at least can bridge the gap enough and return thru the hall of fame. I grew up during the time of the hart foundation and so many other legends. I had kinda fallen off during the time that brett was in the thickest part of his solo career but I'm so glad he got that run. Well deserved.
WWE male superstar do love his own family and especially his own friends in his own life but he was a good loving person and a nice guy too and he also loved his wwe fans very much and he will never be forgotten and we all will be miss him very truly and deeply in our own memories and to our own hearts and souls !! God bless to Owen Hart and his family as well !!
Bret Hart was always my favorite wrestler growing up. He came from a different era where respect and talent matter. Then the Attitude Era occurred while definitely entertaining, it molded a culture of degenerates that lacked respect for the "sport."
The fans lacked respect for the "sport." And yes it is a "sport." It isn't a true sport because it is manipulated by a script, politics and egos that circle the industry. It is like a play, theater or movie/show. Don't kid yourself thinking this is a real. It isn't. And the Attitude era developed an era of non-purists that only cared about the next shock angle to be presented by the story-writers. ECW fans only cared about the next big bump to be delivered. Attitude era featured fans in the crowd flicking off the cameras and wrestlers. The fanbase had much less disrespect for this industry. Don't kid yourself.
I remeber i took a picture with him in el paso texas he was coming out of a theater at cielo vista mall i will never forget! The best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be the excellence of execution!!damn!! Right!!
I feel horrible for Bret - he really had a bad go after he left WWE: the death of his brother, a divorce, his parents die, he has a stroke. You really wish it was the other way around where Vince and HHH got screwed over. I think what goes around is coming around, though. UFC is trouncing WWE, Raw ratings are the lowest they've been in years, and some wrestlers have left the WWE (CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Bill Goldberg). HHH is going to help drive WWE into the ground: numerous other wrestlers hate his guts and he's just going to drive everyone out the door.

I was a Wcw fan but very disappointed they didn't immediately put Bret right in the center of their storyline taking on the nWo, I would have capitalized on his amazing 1997 year immediately once he arrived
I don't care how much money you put in front of me, I would of stopped the show after a death happened. How do you go on? I don't know, that's vince for ya. I think the guy has an Ice block where his heart should be.
@@CB394 And who ones that company . I don't know if you know this but the writers ,Booker's all have to get Vince ok before they do a Storyline it not as if Vince is ignorant to the Storylines and the shit that goes on in his company . Everyone that's employed to Vince answers to him
I watched the show on PPV. As soon as I realized what had happened, it was over for me. I turned it off. I tried to watch wrestling a few times after that, but never could get into it again. A wrestling video recently showed up in my suggested vids, so I've watched a number of old matches and wrestling drama, but Owen Hart is always on my mind, when watching them. I had a new kitten when Owen got killed. I named the kitten after him. That kitty is still kicking!
The Hart's are a very classy family and love Brett and Owen. Condolences to the Hart's family and may Owen R.I.P. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers 🙏 🇨🇦🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

I met Bret about 7 years ago and I said to him "i was so sorry when I heard about Owen..tragic" he gave me a hug and said "me too"..we had a moment..Bret is a very nice and humble man.
I call bullshit.
Similar experience. Very humble. After everything, Bret still cares about the sport and entertainment but the direction has changed and nobody can blame him for the BS that happened.
I doubt it. Doesn't seem like him
Yeah and then I bet he got you in a sharpshooter and you all rode off into the sunset esse AYYEEEEHHEEEEE
wish could meet him one day too
insensitivity aside, It was a potential crime scene. The police should have shut the show down
Alfie Maybe that’s one of if not THE reason Vince didn’t want to stop the show.
@@steffondoyle8071 - Something stinks about the whole thing.
I think it’s a bit too easy for people to blame vince for the accident I mean the writers wrote this stunt in and the stunt coordinators are the ones who decided to use the quick release harness yes he should have stopped the show but would you want to be the one to announce the reason to a sold out arena that he was dead and they all have to leave the building think about it
jasser2878 and my point is Vince shouldn’t have even had a say in it being shut down. As soon as his death was announced, the police should have intervened. Sent everyone home and started an investigation into what actually happened
Alfie yeah I understand your point
Bret said, "I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around." He was 100% correct and Vince is getting his now. Finally!
Those were his words on his recent interview regarding the Vince case lol
It pisses me off that the show went on...and Bret is right. If that was Shane or Stephanie the show would have stopped.
totally agree with your comment from what I read and videos are watched from the past I heard the reason why they're showing on is because they were on live and they didn't want everybody knowing that he just died and they didn't think it was appropriate to let everybody know what happened at that time I agree. That it should never have went on but just to cut the show people would have wondered what happened.
True.
+Tony Haboush, he fell like 50 + feet from the rafters to the corner of the ring, and landed on his HEAD. I'm pretty sure that the entire audience knew he was dead.
+Blackhorse Scouts Out yeah they might have but at the same point from what I heard and watched from other wrestlers that were there they said they didn't know. and of course WWE is not going to cut off the pay-per-view in the middle of it so people know especially when they didn't want to tell the family right away I mean I don't know if I could really blame him for that I mean if you were in their position. Which is a very tough position would you cut it off in the middle and then have to explain to everybody what happened not even that you also have to pay all your people for not containing the show plus of hay per view plus to advertisers I mean it was hard to know what everybody was thinking at the time.
+Tony Haboush, Mick Foley's book said that Owen was dead right after the fall, so I don't know what wrestlers you are getting your info from.
He's right regarding Vince McMahon. That was a low blow. All Vince cares about is making money.
You dont go into business to lose money.
@@CaptFreedumb that's why no one watching now
@@vikeyshamurray7553 yet ratings and profits are higher than ever. Ok.
@@CaptFreedumb not really wwe sucks ass these days
@hischam khan sure you do. And Vince did it. If you dont like it, boycott WWE. Im sure your support will be missed.
I'm watching this 23 years later in 2022, and this story doesn't cease to make me sad. Bret lost his best friend the day Owen died.
Best friend and little brother. Us big brothers always want to see the little guys thrive.
Bret Hart is real man's man. He never bullshits anyone unlike a lot of people out there and as a wrestler, he's easily in the top 5 ever, imo.
He lied all the way through his biography
All the way through
He also had the class to bring up multiple wrestlers drug issues, including Neidhart and Bulldog after their deaths
He refused to drop the title putting Vince in an impossible situation in montreal
The man changed wrestling, but such a dick
@@SantaPorter420 No denying he was a tremendous wrestler but his ego and his bitterness over the years really has exposed him.
@@LordHeath1972 I just don't get it, he's one of the few remaining members of the hart dynasty, and is the only surviving member of the Hart Foundation
He could be turning that legacy into something special, instead, content to bitch about thirty year old feuds on RUclips🙄
@@LordHeath1972
Well I don't know. If I had lost what Bret had lost, I'd probably end up in jail or a psychiatric ward. So Bret being bitter is understandable.
He is real modest as well 🤔
I wish Bret had never returned to WWE. Not after the way they treated him.
+getnotoriousXBL It was Vince who backed out of the contract he made with Bret. WCW offered Bret almost 3 million dollars to sign with them, so Vince offered him 1.5 million to stay. Bret wanted to do business, like when he passed the torch to Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 12. Then Michaels faked a leg injury to avoid putting Bret over at Wrestlemania 13. (He was seen backflipping off the top rope only a couple months later, and even Kevin Nash said Shawn's knee injury was fake.) It was Shawn Michaels who forfeited several titles without losing them to other wrestlers. So if Bret was guilty of not wanting to do business, then Michaels was guilty of it multiple times. Vince lied to Bret. The plan was for Bret to lose the title to someone the next night on Raw. It's funny how they claim Vince didn't trust Eric Bischoff and couldn't risk the WWE title being shown on WCW television. You mean like how Ric Flair wore the WCW title on WWE television back in 1992? It would have served him right. Bret Hart is a man's man. And Vince is a liar.
+getnotoriousXBL Your an idiot, McMahon gave Hart a 20 year contract, in the 90's. Hart walked away from the contract because of McMahon didn't want to pay it anymore. Hart initially rejected a 9 million dollar, three year contract from Ted Turner for McMahon and he still screwed him over.... learn some facts before your run your mouth.
+semitar6 bret hart who oh you mean the dumb ass candien who won't stop crying because his dumb brother passed please he's old news
I saw that you said you're bipolar. You do realize that not everyone is going to fall for you obtuse lies. You're not a bipolar orphan. You're sitting your punk ass in your room laughing because you pisses people off. You're a little bitch.
Gary Maxion actually yes i am bipolar thank you very much and yes i am an orphan my parents are gone and for you calling me a little bitch speak for yourself lay off the cookie dough
Morale of the story is when you are unsure of uncomfortable about doing something, don’t do it.
RIP Owen.
Bret, You are the Man
doing something that makes you uncomfortable is the only way to grow. Now something that makes you uncomfortable because its potentially fatal is another story
@@deecliff6896 what if I don’t want to grow and suffer?
@@BoredomandVanity then you're a fool
Easy to say when your livelihood isn’t on the line. Pressure is a hell of a thing, especially when you’ve got a wife and kids to feed and all you’ve ever known was wrestling. Owen trusted Vince, Vince said he would out in the Blue Blazer costume and enter from the rafters, so Owen did his job.
Spot on - Don't ignore your gut feelings
"I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around." --Bret Hart. Well said, Bret. And true.
He doesn’t have anything good coming too him either...cheated on his wife...bitches and complains about everything too anybody with a an ear fuck this dude lol
@@brianwells5123 shut the fuck up bitch
@@brianwells5123 So he's human and makes mistakes? God forbid. He has a reason to complain about Vince McMahon and the WWE. He has the balls to stand up and talk. Maybe, just maybe he has something to say that we can all learn from.
he acknowledged his mistakes and bad choices unlike vince
In my experience this is rarely ever the case.
From the Screwjob, to the Owen tragedy, to his career-ending concussion and all his health problems he's faced since then, Bret Hart might just have the most tragic story in all of professional wrestling.
Yeah but still he is one of the best
Kevin Von Erich has entered the chat.
I believe Bret may have redemption now. AEW just announced that they have partnered with the Owen Hart Foundation. God bless this company for doing this, and it just goes to show how much AEW cares for wrestlers. Owens wife must have taken her time to agree to this.
Owen ultimate warrior Benoit
not professional wrestling, more like in the history of sports~!
“Man would do anything for a dollar” and he still has that mindset i guarantee it
Most of us would lmao
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 one thing I’ll say I’ll never judge a very hard working guy from the outside. His drive to be great is so crazy some people are bound to look at him crazy. I’m not saying he was right fit going on wit the show but generally Vince probably was making so much happen it drove him crazy
Was it right to continue the show? Maybe not. But this is a physical sport and it's entertainment. Have people died in football? Yeah. Have people died while filming movies? Yeah. Are you spending time vilifying Roger Goodell or Joel Souza? I doubt it. It may sound callous to you, but the participants in (and the viewers of) wrestling understand there is a risk involved. Owen knew that, he broke Steve Austin's neck months before this tragedy. That said, while you sit here and complain about Vince, you're still consuming his product. Hypocritical, and churlish. Stop being like Bret and making this all about you.
@@sandews8564 his will to be wealthy is so great that he will exploit and walk over anyone he has to just to make that extra dollar. Corporate overlords are not men to be revered or respected unless you’re a piece of shit that wishes you could exploit people that trust you. Yes, Vince unlike a current billionaire, did bust his ass building the WWF into the monopoly that it became. But he is no different than any other stupidly rich asshole. He will do anything and exploit whomever he has to, because money drives people like him. He systematically targeted and destroyed every single promotion until no competition stood against him, and instead of make sweeping quality of life changes to help people like Scott Hall, Piper and Jake he doubled down. These men and now women put their literal lives on the line for that pop from a crowd, and Vince can’t even give them the respect to list them as employees and give them access to healthcare. The fucking NFL, THE NFL!, has a better system for retired players than Vince has for wrestlers. Piper knew the score long before he died. Wrestlers don’t live long enough to hit that retirement, because they put it all on the line and Vince exploited their eagerness to go bigger. The piece of shit counter-sued Owen’s widow, man. I mean come on. That’s the kind of shit Bret was referring to. Vince has no moral compass.
Pro football game stopped last season because player had cardiac arrest on field. ACLS protocol to save his life, game stopped. He wasn’t crucial to the game continuing in your case Dim Ning
Bret Hart, was always my favorite wrestler. When I was a kid, Bret Hart came down the ramp, and he put his plastic mirrored glasses on me! That was when he was in Calgary! What a great family they had...
Dude thats awesome!!
Don't you just feel so bad that he had to go through that? That he lost his brother?
Thats sick! That was a dream of mine as a kid! To get those shades
I always thought that was nice of him to do that every time he came out
I just wanna see the day, when someone kicks Vince's ass and says, "You're fired", for real!!
People say Bret has become bitter in recent years. I’m not justifying him going on rants about others but Bret has really been through A LOT of shit since 97. Getting Screwed by Vince, losing his brother, Goldberg ending his career, losing Davey Boy Smith, a stroke that happened HOURS after his divorce. I really feel that Bret needs a hug because he’s a trooper for all the shit he had to put up with.
Vince was so wrong to continue the show after Owens passing
Hell ya he was
What difference would it have made. It’s a business.
@@robertmartin3524 that thinking is why there's so much wrong and murder and destruction in the world. People not using their heart in interactions. Well, if your loved ones or you ever die, remember that it's business, k?
Robert Martin he said he was wrong as morally it was wrong.. no one said it isn’t business
I still don't understand why he didn't stop the show and they didn't tell the crowd about Owen's death, I found out about it from an usher. I can't even watch wrestling anymore because I'm traumatized.
best there is, best there was, best there ever will be....
Patricia Carrasco agree
Patricia Carrasco I think he might of hit his head cause there was sting and flair which he could never beat
you do understand it's scripted, don't you?
iNSAN3 Nacs do you know how fucking dumb you sound?
Cory Evans Bret was/his excelent the only thing that he has against him is that he was never that good on mic and the Shawn Rivalry since wwe screwed him good in favor of michaels and the fact that Hart cringed for so many years about it made fans to grew tired of him and lose the respect he deserves... the sad part is noone's to blame here but him. If he were more mature about it he would have got much more respect then he gets today
After watching "The Dark Side Of the Ring" they was one thing that was brought up that never occurred to me. Why didn't the police shut the PPV down. As they was a "Crime Scene" should had been stopped so they could gather evidence and all that. I mean, The ring was broken, Blood on the mat. Makes you wonder about alot of things now.
Same reason, wwe is allowed to run while other business are closed.
Because Vince and America are fucked. Money makes their worlds go around and thats it.
$$$$$$$$$
Just before some wise ass comes in here saying “THAT wasn’t his blood!”
Yes, most of the blood wAs from the brood on heat (fake blood) from their blackout booodbath attacks
However DNA was taken forensic evidence after the show the blood on the canvas was human blood as well so owens blood was also on the mat.
He shattered something jn his left elbow and apparently it didn’t bleed out it would have on any living person but his heart wasn’t beating so that’s the reason it didn’t bleed out
Honestly and I HATE to say this...but many fans are ASSHOLES and LOSERS...the cops probably said and wrongly of course...I have worked on both side of the law (suit and tie wise) promise you two things happened: 1 There was a payment made by Vince or the police honestly thought the fans would riot because so many want to see THEIR WRASSLER and cops were of a riot. Come on Brett went in the center of a wring oon WCW to talk about this and half the fans booed him and even yelles "HUrry Up" so the next match could go forward. I stopped going to matches in 1988 but then again....I went to NWA...we had smarter fans....WWE Stone Cold era??? IDIOTS
RIP to Owen, Davey Boy, Pillman and Anvil. Im sorry for all the tragedy Brett we all love you!!!!
Dynamite kid is dead davey boy cousin
crazy whole family died
Bret has lived through so much through the years. He comes out shining through all the hard times & adversity. Bret, you are the best in the business!
Noce
R.I.P. owen you are missed.
The older I got, the more I learned about Vince, the less I watched wrestling. I haven’t watched WWE in many years, mostly because I can’t stand the idea of giving Vince a penny.
Well Vince got his karma
It was very tasteless and disrespectful that the WWE just continued with that PPV after what happened to Owen. I'm so glad I never saw it because hearing about that made me sick.
Dawn Yzaguirre they honor him the next night
Vince is too greedy n immoral

@@wilsonbrito9565 That doesn't even matter. For example, If I owned a gas station chain, and an employee gets shot and killed during a robbery, I'm shutting that store down for the night, cause that is a human being, not just my money maker. I personally think it was insensitive to keep the show going. It takes a cold SOB to do some shit like that. You can be a ruthless business man any other time, but when it comes to some one dying, think like a human, not a business man.
rip owen...he was a superb wrestler bret too :(
Incredible matches. Wrestlemania X and Summerslam 1994 in a Steel cage.
That interviewer just pisses me off. He really tries to bring Bret in the most bitter, spitefull mood possible and hopes, that Bret would spit out some poison ...
Yep, I picked up on that as well.

That was so articulate and accurate in a very real, very depressing way. Rip Owen... last thing he did was try and protect the people he was falling onto. Then wheeled out like a bad dinner
Bret was always my favorite wrestler for a number of reasons: His technical wrestling style and his willingness to face the opposition persona made him exciting to watch in the ring--when I think about it, that persona of facing heartbreak and struggles became reality. Having met him many times, Bret proved to me that he was a warm, genuine and kind person who sincerely appreciated his fans' support. It was interestling about what he'd said about the wrestling fans being called "marks" and that the wrestlers were really the marks. I remember one time my friend and I had asked Bret, "So are you going to be at [this event] at [city and state]?" Though Bret wasn't rude at all about our asking this, he'd said, "Well, this IS the first time I'm hearing about this; it WOULD be nice if they told me about it first." Off hand, I don't remember what the event was but I've no doubt that Bret followed up on it ASAP.
as wrestler this guy was defo the best no doubt about it period.
Well you can say what you like, but that clearly *is* contentious.
INSANE, Vince McMahon still walks around free to this day, That's DISGUSTING and WRONG. RIP Owen💪🕊
I am 39 years from India, and Bret was my favorite. He made my childhood amazing! Such an amazing athlete and great human...
From the first time I'd seen him wrestle, from watching him interact with his peers and his fans, and finally meeting him in person during the Wrestlemania X Fan Festival--and many times afterwards to this day--Bret "Hitman" Hart proved to me that not only was he a professional in the ring...to this day I believe he is a very decent human being, someone not full of himself at all. Yes, he had "the best there is, the best there was..."slogan as did other athletes--e.g. Muhammed Ali--but in my years of seeing him in the ring, meeting with him, sometimes even talking with him a bit, Bret proved to me that he was not above his fans; he proved that he loved his fans and treated them with respect. I will never forget a photo/autograph opportunity when I took a picture with him--around the '90s when I didn't have a great camera--and he'd said,"The flash didn't go off; is that alright?" and agreed to let me take another picture with the flash. What a good call on his part! I wouldn't have had a picture of us...but that's just one of the examples of his decency and how he cared for his fans. It was such a heartbreak for him to lose Owen in that accident; I'd met him too...also a nice decent person. I'd stopped watching wrestling because of that accident as well as Vince's callous attitude toward it; like "OK so we lost another circus animal; we'll just replace him." I think Vince seemed to "forget" that the wrestlers were humans instead of cash cows. About 3 years after Owen's death, I lost my sister to unnatural causes...I can venture a guess what trauma Bret and his family went through when they lost Owen. But to end on a positive note--somewhat similar to the last line in the film "The Babe"--to quote this line as best as I can to Bret: "You were the best. There was never anyone else like you."
Came here after watching the dark side of the Ring Owen Hart special because I wanted to see Brett's opinion
Dee_Andie_88 me too. what did you think? I still think Martha is right here. she is doing right by Owen.
I remember the day Owen died😪 I was little at the time and watching happen on TV. I didn't understand what was going on and thought Owen will make it, he is invincible, he will come back. I cried when they announced that he was gone. Very heart breaking. The WWF, ( WWF at the time ), lost a wonderful wrestler😪😪
Grand master sexay is gone now too. ; (
Grand master sexay was a criminal who took his own life I have empathy for the guy but he was nothing like Owen who died by a horrific, unneeded accident and Owen was an amazing person who didn’t even want to be there to begin with
@@MachoWrestling101

Vince McMahon is a big piece of crap in my book
Lewis 970 in every dictionary

If it wasn't for him the harts wouldent be shit not vinces fault Bret was a total asshole who didn't understand the buisness..and that whole family was selfish pricks who thought they could run everything
Wwe had mudered Owen, Chris beniot ,chrna, and others wwe hated the Hart family because Bret Hart letf to go to wcw
but the most he would do was just not push the harts, he wouldn't want them dead.
What a great interview, Brett was the man, love his honesty and how much he was a man, very canadian, proud to be from the same nationality
Vince probably didn't want to refund people who bought a ticket
pinkbeatle2012 so that's the real reason the show went on 🤔
It wouldn't surprise me. That guy is a grease ball
@@Ryan-vi2qy more like the ppv buyers money.
EXACTLY!! He wouldnt wanna refund not only those who bought a ticket, but also would have to refund millions in pay per view buys.
That was my first thought.
Man Bret looks damn good here. Just shows what the stroke did to him. He now speaks slower and more carefully, and gets emotional easily. All side effects of a stroke. Sadly my grandfather went through the same.
I had 2 mild strokes a couple of years apart the last one knocked the heck out of me. I'm a little forgetful and I'm a little more emotional . So I know what your saying thank God Brett you have your family like myself that's everything . God bless you as He has blessed me
I was about to reply. “True, but this was 25 years ago, most adults will look significantly better a quarter century ago”. Then I saw your comment was 11 years old.

Brett Hart is a Legend of legends.
Bret Hart is the greatest wrestler in history. Love to the Hart family and RIP Owen. Nothing but love to you.
I was a lil kid when that happened and I’m still a fan in 2020 rip Owen
Seeing bret get old makes me feel old.... im almost 32 now.... when the hitman was my age .. he was electrifying in the ring.... he was the ring general.... that squared circle was his yard, his technicality was so smooth and superb... the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be
Bret is so genuine and this is why he went over as one of the greatest Faces in wrestling history. I was shocked to hear Germans tell me about Bret Hitman Hart when I expected to hear about Hulk Hogan. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and its clear that Bret was the best there is, the best there was, the best there will ever be.
I was so in love with Bret in the 90's best wrestler that ever graced the squared circle😗
RIP Owen! Born in Calgary myself . Hope the family are okay. God bless
Vince McMahon fucked up with the Harts family
should of fucked up with benoit too their medical personel can tell if someone has brain damage 1 pupil bigger than the other and it is right iv checked and you can see it on eddies tribute + H O F think HHH noticed told vince how much would beniot of sued them for if they noticed and let him go i mean it would be a lawsuit right for them not to have noticed
Vince should be in jail the bastard !
Bret kissed his ass again after all
All vince cares about is making money... back in the 1980's he defended Jimmy Snuka in court for murder just because Snuka was his biggest asset back in the day
Bret came back for the fans... you also realise how fucked bret got himself.. he has said in many interviews including wwe ones that too many fans want him back
This is so true about Vince he just sick cold hearted and I miss Owen Hart
I’ve never been a fan of Owen hart but anyone that gives his life for the wrestling industry has my respect Rest In Peace OH
When I heard that Owen actually yelled for people to get out of the way as he was falling, that made me respect him a lot. Even as he was free falling to his death he cared about the lives of others.
He didn’t give his life for the industry. Vince and the WWF took a father from his kids and a husband from his wife for his bottom line. There was no rhyme or reason to make Owen enter the ring that way except trying to mimic what WCW was doing with Sting. They had him under contract, he was not even going to get an Intercontinental Title push at this point, and they put him at risk for what? A mid-card match no one would have remembered three months later if he had not plummeted to his death.
Bret... Love you brother... You are a true soldier staying alive through all the pain you have experienced... Inspires me to keep pushing on through my experiences of loss of close loved ones...my dad in particular... If you can do it... So can I...
This was the day i switched back to WCW. But then ya know.........
Mo Blaze Yeah, wrestling really transitioned very differently during those times
Losing any relative is hard but to be told when u are thousands of miles in the air not able to contact anyone that must of been awfull we still miss u owen ❤
My favorite of all time. Love you Bret. Absolute love him. No one better
I remember how disgusted I was when they kept going with the other matches. It was heartbreaking and sickening watching the obviously devastated wrestlers trying to play their parts and wrestle.
quit lying. you and everyone else thought it was a part of the staging and theatrics that was happening in wrestling... the people that were there in that arena didnt seem concerned because they too thought that this was just another stunt... lets not act like these guys werent jumping off cages and what not... no one in the audience looked shock like a real accident had occurred ... now I knew that wasnt a stunt but i also understood that they continued the event because the people in the arena didnt realize that someone had really died.... how cruel would it be that the people in the arena saw someone die and still cheered on the next match? other than the employees of wwe no one in that arena knew what really happened in that moment
Were you really? Were you really disgusted?
@@bjvu9460 we were made well aware that it wasn't part of the show. The actual live attending audience were absolutely clueless and went home still not having any clue what really happened.
This makes me cry every time I watch it! 😢😢😭😭
my condolences to the Hart family. I love how Brett ended the video here
I don't think even the fans would want the show to go on, I hope Stephanie and Shane isn't like him
Remember Chyna
rwilbourn faith
HHH is, don't worry
Sadly the whole McMahon family are assholes
Met owen hart and koko b ware when I was a young teen (1994) and they were awesome.
I still Remember Owen asking where Burger King was!
Bret can hardly hide the smugness when he says that he believed he was the best. And by god, he was. The most believable performer in the history of wrestling.
Owen was magic everything he did athletically or sometimes he was doing a little guest commentary in the late 90s, or basically anything he did was what a wrestler should be. Great heel great worker total grinder he could make a match with anyone work including tag matches or double crosses like kicking shamrock in the balls.
Yup
Even if I wasn't always a fan of Bret I always respected him. I can't believe how hard this must have been. Vince has always been vindictive and can hold a grudge for a long time and not just with Bret. I think Bret saw Wrestling as a place to wrestle. He was certainly at his best in a technical match. Proving that he was the best there is, was and will ever be.
I still remember my daddy 20 yeArs ago telling me he was the best technical wrestler there was at 10 yrs old and new to wrestling I had no idea wth that meant) but as I became literally obsessed w wrestling I got over him but now I see he was and the fact that he is such a classy guy and became as huge as he did it shows it...because he def kept his dignity in all he did.
Nice
Dark Side of The Ring 2020
Without Bret talking on it
Bret was always a top tier wrestler and fan favorite!! Good memories of this man
Perfect line to end that video. Love that confidence... and it's true people!
If Owen Hart was still alive, many of you would have been ripping him to shreds about the botched piledriver on Austin
And now Rey is getting it from some people about el hijo perro.
DatShadowGuy And Austin never catches flak for breaking Chono's neck with the exact same move.
DatShadowGuy Why doesn't Austin get any shit for doing the exact same thing to Ricky Steamboat? He botched a piledriver on him and ended his career. From what I understand, Austin and Owen never patched things up. But the fans never say anything about Austins botch. Karmas a botch.
DatShadowGuy eh... If Owen was still alive he would of been WWF/WWE champion 5 times over by now.
+DatShadowGuy - I love both Steve Austin & Owen Hart. In reality, Steve moved on from the botched piledriver.
Firstly I wanna say it's really hard to think about what happened and even now I miss Owen Hart as a great wrestler. He was so talented and young when it happened. Secondly I respect Bret Hart as a wrestler and I appreciate his honesty and his abilities in the ring as a wrestler. He was the best technical wrestler of all time. And last but not least I wanna say Vince McMahon's handling of the tragedy that happened to Owen shows the kind money hungry and uncompassionate personality he really is. The wresting pay per view should've been stopped. A man who was a great wrestler just died. Bret is right. If it was Shane who died Vince Mcmahon would've canceled the rest of the show. It's a shame the way in was all handled. Bret is a class act and he handled this all the right way with honesty and dignity. RIP Owen Hart.
Vince hell is ready to you
One of my favorite wrestlers of all time. Bret the hitman Hart a true legend.
Yup oce
Bret Hart always is, was and will be the number one hero in my eyes. Great all round family man and entertainer.
I believe the show should have stopped. I was in attendance for Over The Edge 1999. I saw Owen fall and I left after the tragedy. I can understand to a point Vince had to worry about repercussions, but the show should have ended. How awful it was to Owen’s friends and the other wrestlers who had to go on after such a horrible tragedy. I mistakenly watched it on WWE Network and I could tell many wrestlers just weren’t into it and were shook up. I don’t buy the rowdy violent audience bullshit. I think most of the fans would have understood cancelling the show. I was told by a friend who stayed at the show they never told the live audience what happened.
Reclusive Person where were you sitting?
There is a picture I saw somewhere where The Undertaker is in the ring staring at Owen’s blood on the mat and looking totally out of it. He looked lost.
Very 💔felt..
Salute to the whole ❤family.
Brets analysis on Vince being a psychopath sounds on point right now
I remember watching live that night the payper view with my son Fred I was shocked that they continued the show omg what those wrestlers went through trying to perform after they lost Owen, I don't know how any management can put someone through that, out of respect they should have ended it right there, and give the wrestlers who are like family to get themselves together and be there for each other,we will always remember Owen❤️
If I was one of the wrestlers that were pushed out to preform right after the incident, I wouldn't be able to. Imagine being pushed out to do a good preformance after something like that happened.
Absolutley sick!
P.S.Beautifuls Elena and Owen Hart amore forever!!
tankyuo
AnneMarie Keane As a diva, things would be different to you.
fuck you bit invidiosa e gelosa di me ...ti auguro una malefica vita.BYE BYE Zombie!!
TheSsbcandidates How would that matter? It doesn't matter who I am. All I'm saying is that if I was pushed out to wrestle after an incident like that... I wouldn't be able to.
Your right about that last comment Brett. You were definitely in my top three wrestlers of all time. And you will be the best there is best there was and best there ever will be, for infinity and beyond
Bret was always my favorite wrestler.Very exciting to watch
"Owen was a really...a very careful, smart, cautious guy...." Except when he broke Steve Austin's neck in 97' due to an inverted piledriver that Stone Cold specifically told him twice that he didn't want prior to the match. He went ahead and did it anyways. One year later, Owen has a match with Dan Severn. Owen uses the same exact piledriver move, using the the same exact technique, he breaks Dan Severn's neck.
That thing with Severn was a kayfabe injury for a storyline. Austin also broke Chono's neck in Japan years before it happened to him.
Oh my gracias GOD 😭😭😭 he said the show went on even after Owen's passing that had to be the most devastating low blow to Owens immediate family oh my GOD I am IMMENSELY SORRY 😢😢😢
I agree with brett's self evaluation that he was the best. He was really great at the actual art if wtestling. He could make it look extremely real, yet never leave a bruise in the opponent. Many guys today and back then were sloppy and would accidentally injure their opponents by incorrectly executing a manoeuvre.
Bret is an absolute legend. He told it as it was. If it was Shane the show would not have gone on. Just read Bret’s book. It’s so so sad that he was let down by his own sisters just because they wanted their husbands jobs back.
RIP Owen Hart... GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN 💝💖💝💖💝💖💝
As such a huge Owen fan, I still grieve over the entire situation that happened from the time Bret left to that dreadful night Owen died. The Harts were as good as it gets. Even beyond age 34, Owen would have gone on to become a world champion for sure, and Bret had a near perfect career aside from those garbage years in WCW. WCW had ZERO creativity and basically purchased their popularity from other wrestlers' successes prior to their time in WCW, and without those low times being lost in the Bischoff shuffle, I think Bret would have been an undisputable top 5 all-time talent. That stint in WCW may have been a necessary move for him at that time in his life, but to me, it leaves a big stain on an otherwise flawless wrestling career.
Every day?
@@dredwickwtf are you even asking?
@@dredwickuse more words you’re promos might not make it kid
@@dowhatiwantc7637 What, me asking a simple question is too much for you to comprehend? Out of everything that dude said in his comment, what would "every day?" apply to? Clearly it applies to him saying he still grieves. Cmon bro, you need to get with it... use your brain to analyze things instead of sitting there with your mouth wide open waiting for someone to feed comprehension to you.
@@dowhatiwantc7637 Nobody is cutting promos son. You're not a wrestler, I'm not a wrestler. You need to check the record because you just got here. I've been around awhile and have subscribers, and I don't even have a single video on RUclips. That should tell you right there that people are interested in what I have to say. You, on the other hand, are just some newb pressing buttons on the phone hoping someone will talk to you. Well, here you go... I talked to you for a few. Hopefully you got your fix and will learn something.
Damn I never knew how cold blooded Vince really is. Think I’m a give up on the show because of this. Might even trash my belt I bought.
Watch dark side of the ring!! Shows all the shit wwe/f tried to sweep under the rug
I still cant believe they went on with the show that night so disrespectfull may you rest in peace Owen Hart 💖
Vince kept the matches going and Owen’s blood was still in the ring AND there were broken boards in the ring where Owen fell. Wow
There was no external bleeding. The blood stain in the ring was from the Brood doing a blood bath on Sunday night Heat before the show started
Shane Tumminello negative. His WIFE said his blood was still on the mat as they rolled Owen from the ring and were pushing other wrestlers out to wrestle as Owen’s lifeless body was rolled pass them. So who do I believe...you with no account of anything or Owen’s wife who walked the cat walk where her husband fell from and who looked and took pictures of the ring? I guess those broken boards in the ring were from times before as well.
MrBlytheville Martha wasn’t even at the event. She even says that she wasn’t in the Dark Side Of The Ring episode. She can say whatever she wants regarding the blood but all you have to do is look up Sunday Night Heat from May 23, 1999 and you will see the Broods blood bath. Additionally, you can look up the medical report for Owen and there is NO external bleeding listed. I agree with everything else you said regarding the broken boards and that they kept the show going. I’m just simply stating that was not his blood in the ring.
MrBlytheville ruclips.net/video/xXOUsXjbGmQ/видео.html 34:52 mark. Matt Hardy sets his hand on the apron, in the same spot Owen would end up laying. There’s your blood spot.
He didn’t need to have external injuries.He had a ruptured aorta. Literally drowning in his own blood. Blood would have escaped via mouth and nose.
Bret Hart is an honorable man. Much respect.
Heartwrenching point when brett says you never want to find out about news like that on an airplane. When he said "trust me on that" it really hit me.
Basically I dont think I can fly. I even have nightmares about flying in planes for some reason.
Basically for the exact reason mr hart said. Theres nowhere to go... nowhere to pace... nowhere to think. I dont think I can do it without bad news on the mind. But for the same reasons due to my panic attacks. I cant imagine what brett what went through.
Ever since, Brett hart has been wearing the pain of his brother and the way his own career path went with wwf etc.
The guy is as real as it comes. Im glad brett at least can bridge the gap enough and return thru the hall of fame.
I grew up during the time of the hart foundation and so many other legends. I had kinda fallen off during the time that brett was in the thickest part of his solo career but I'm so glad he got that run.
Well deserved.
WWE male superstar do love his own family and especially his own friends in his own life but he was a good loving person and a nice guy too and he also loved his wwe fans very much and he will never be forgotten and we all will be miss him very truly and deeply in our own memories and to our own hearts and souls !! God bless to Owen Hart and his family as well !!
Bret Hart was always my favorite wrestler growing up. He came from a different era where respect and talent matter. Then the Attitude Era occurred while definitely entertaining, it molded a culture of degenerates that lacked respect for the "sport."
The fans lacked respect for the "sport." And yes it is a "sport." It isn't a true sport because it is manipulated by a script, politics and egos that circle the industry. It is like a play, theater or movie/show. Don't kid yourself thinking this is a real. It isn't. And the Attitude era developed an era of non-purists that only cared about the next shock angle to be presented by the story-writers. ECW fans only cared about the next big bump to be delivered. Attitude era featured fans in the crowd flicking off the cameras and wrestlers. The fanbase had much less disrespect for this industry. Don't kid yourself.
He was mine too bro
I remeber i took a picture with him in el paso texas he was coming out of a theater at cielo vista mall i will never forget! The best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be the excellence of execution!!damn!! Right!!
I feel horrible for Bret - he really had a bad go after he left WWE: the death of his brother, a divorce, his parents die, he has a stroke. You really wish it was the other way around where Vince and HHH got screwed over. I think what goes around is coming around, though. UFC is trouncing WWE, Raw ratings are the lowest they've been in years, and some wrestlers have left the WWE (CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Bill Goldberg). HHH is going to help drive WWE into the ground: numerous other wrestlers hate his guts and he's just going to drive everyone out the door.
angle back inw we Goldberg come back dude stone cold said onylr em some star ahte hate or vicne is theyt don't udene stnt that they try help them stone codl said he hate vicn in back when wlak out a titem he did not get he was try to help him stone codl he ge tit nowtorl hunter is not going to run wwe in to groaund hunter do snto run wwe torll vicne os all vicne huten run xnt all xnt stat tlk great baotu hunter godlebrg htuenr is great now angle hutenr cool angle godlebrg tlk geat baotu htuern now torll so seen thing not way you thinkt hey are
True
Fuck the wwe it sucks now.
Lol Goldberg was old af and loaded when he stopped. And Punk please, only loved by the new gen kids just like Cena.
NorsiXa triple h sucks everyone blows him cause of nxt my god... good matches sometimes but it’s boring so many non characters Adam cole first name last name and I’m supposed to be entertained because he’s a good worker that says bay bay !?
Brett you will never be the guy that lost a brother in the ring. You will always be Brett you know the guy with the coolest sunglasses that every kid wanted and part of one of the most bad ass tag teams ever.
I was a Wcw fan but very disappointed they didn't immediately put Bret right in the center of their storyline taking on the nWo, I would have capitalized on his amazing 1997 year immediately once he arrived
I don't care how much money you put in front of me, I would of stopped the show after a death happened. How do you go on? I don't know, that's vince for ya. I think the guy has an Ice block where his heart should be.
MrSkullHead1250 shut up if you don't know the facts
Rick We do know the facts
Owen died, the PPV went on.
Anyone who agrees with the show going on after this is fuckin retarded
And think of the people and kids having to watch that . Do you think they wanted to be entertained or have fun after seeing that . I wouldn't .
@@CB394 And who ones that company . I don't know if you know this but the writers ,Booker's all have to get Vince ok before they do a Storyline it not as if Vince is ignorant to the Storylines and the shit that goes on in his company . Everyone that's employed to Vince answers to him
I watched the show on PPV. As soon as I realized what had happened, it was over for me. I turned it off. I tried to watch wrestling a few times after that, but never could get into it again. A wrestling video recently showed up in my suggested vids, so I've watched a number of old matches and wrestling drama, but Owen Hart is always on my mind, when watching them. I had a new kitten when Owen got killed. I named the kitten after him. That kitty is still kicking!
frehleyisgod Perhaps I should woman up, since I am not a man. I don't want to grow a pair. My husband wouldn't like it.
+itsnotthesamething excellent response. i remember seeing it too.
+itsnotthesamething Damn, so sensitive. Accidents happen, I just move on.
B0st0nBru1ns Move on then. :)
+itsnotthesamething
That PPV is on the WWE Network :D
The Hart's are a very classy family and love Brett and Owen. Condolences to the Hart's family and may Owen R.I.P. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers 🙏 🇨🇦🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Classy? Did u hear them discussing what the hart girls did to Martha after Owen died?
I think if Owen had lived he would of been world champion eventually
