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

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

He died shortly after hitting the turnbuckle. Val Venis said that he knew Owen was dead when they brought him through the curtain.



From The Rock's book:

I was backstage in the dressing room, going over the details of my match with Triple H and Chyna. We were talking, moving around, trying to figure out how to make the match memorable, when Sergeant Slaughter walked into the room and said, ‘Owen is hurt…’ I looked at Hunter, then looked at Sarge and said, ‘Oh, come on. Are you serious or are you ribbing?’ Owen was known for his pranks, and I thought maybe this was just another example of his twisted sense of humor. ‘No,’ Sarge said. ‘It looks pretty bad. They’re working on him in the middle of the ring…”

“I went straight to the curtain…as I reached the gorilla position, where everyone was gathered, I could see the shock on their faces, the disbelief. People were crying, hugging. And then it hit me: This is real. I walked up to the curtain and looked out. the EMTs were working on Owen in the middle of the ring, giving him CPR. The crowd was on its feet, absolutely silent…”

“[I thought] ‘My god…that’s my friend, I have to go out there.’ I turned around. Vince McMahon was standing there, watching everything on the monitors. He was in shock, just like the rest of us. ‘Vince,’ I said, ‘I want to go out there – what do you think?’ Vince just stared at me, with a look on his face that seemed to say, Rock, that’s entirely up to you. After a few moments, though, Vince spoke. ‘If you go out there, Rock, those people are really going to react to you. They may think this whole thing is a work…'”

“So I waited anxiously, helplessly by the curtain, until they wheeled Owen through on a stretcher. One of the EMTs was still straddling Owen, pumping his chest, desperately administering CPR. I walked alongside them and said a prayer as I looked at Owen’s face. Then I helped them load the stretcher into the ambulance. I climbed into the passenger side of the vehicle and looked in the back, where they were still working furiously on Owen. I kept praying that God would save my friend’s life…”

Officially most likely he was. I clearly remember them showing JR and King and announcing Owen had died while the PPV was still going on.
In this book sex lies and headlocks, Jerry Lawler said Owen had a huge gash on his arm that wasn’t bleeding. His heart had stopped so he was more than likely already dead in the ring. He was even turning blue.

It was appalling to see the blood there. :to:

Yeah I watched Over the Edge not long ago on the Network and I forgot that there was a clear bloodstain on the mat through the rest of the show :mjcry:

The moment on the show after they've played a Blue Blazer pretaped interview and JR is supposed to do the lead in to the pre-match video package and is just stuttering his words and then says "we've got real problems out here, folks" was haunting :huhldup::merchant:

The look on King's face when he get's back to the commentary booth after attending to Owen...then he says "it doesn't look good" :to:

Yeah the guy I replied to asked when he was pronounced dead. That's usually done at the hospital by a doctor. That was my point.
