Do you think they should have stopped over the edge after Owen died?

[KatieGotAzzHairs]

This quote made me think of that:

Vince kept a show going in the exact same ring after Owen Hart died. You think this will stop anything. It's a circus. The show goes on.

Back then I was too deep into this wrestling game to think properly. But now looking back...this man Owen didn't jump ship after you fukked over his brother, has been your loyal employee for YEARS, is beloved by the locker room and you don't even have the kindness, the respect, the HUMAN DECENCY to stop the fukking show? You needed to run Assman Vs Dogg that night that badly?

But what really gets me, what really rankles me is you had to force Owen's best friend to wrestle The Big Valbowski and Nicole Bass after he saw Owen suffer a horrific fall?


Bet if Shane had died in the ring, that show would have been stopped with the quickness, and The Posse wouldn't have been sent out to wrestle someone after watching that.

Yup

Even worse those idiots were too cheap to get a real stunt coordinator and hired some amateur to put Owen Hart in a dangerous unsafe situation. This all could have been prevented if they took the necessary safety precautions and didn't try to cut corners.

 

[TheWhackMamba]

In respect to Owen, yes

Because they have customers paying to see the people on the main event, no.

Would I have stopped it? Of course.

But I don’t own a million dollar company either

Russo fault

 

[Superkick Party]

A human being lost his fukking life yes you stop the show

 

[richaveli83]

Hell yeah stop the show! That shyt was sick. fukk any neckbeards in attendance who would have gotten upset that they cancelled a wrestling show after a performer fell to his death doing a stupid stunt.

 

[Hey_zeus]

It's a decision that i hope haunts them.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Of course.

This event should’ve been stopped immediately after the fall.

Sure things were way less PC back then, but ultimately an employee was hurt and ultimately succumbed to his injuries..

And you went on with the show..??

That’s one of many stains on thst company and an indicator of how much they cared/care about their wrestlers, their families and their fans.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Russo fault

Russo wanted to continue the event?

 

[Da_Eggman]

Russo wanted to continue the event?

He came up with the idea in the first place

This was hilarious and fit the goofy gimmick. Instead Vince got mad and caused his death with the harness change.

shyt like this is why shark cage matches low key make me nervous, i wouldn't put it past those imbeciles to fukk up again and kill somebody else

in this social media age i HIGHLY doubt the show would've continued the, they would get fukking crucified by the media

 

[Alexander The Great]

at what point was he pronounced dead? I can't remember, was it at the hospital?

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

I was talking about this with a co worker the other day coincidentally

Owen would not have wanted the show to go on...add that onto all the other common sense reasons why it shouldn't have and it's a no brainer

My coworker said that Owens neck was so strong that he didn't die on impact when most others would have.

Sad shyt
