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

[Mike the Executioner]

What is weird is when they heard Chris Benoit died and cancelled RAW that day, and refunded everyone's tickets.

But they couldn't cancel the event when someone died in the ring in one of the most horrific ways possible

Even worse because of how much that whole thing backfired, during the actual show.

 

[Elim Garak]

Of course

 

[MrFirst2doit]

Well...let's look at the WWE's closest carnie-rooted relative in the entertainment game, the circus aka Cirque du soleil

When the Cirque du soleil performer died in Florida earlier this year doing a stunt, Cirque du soleil shut down the show and cancelled the next two after also and refunded all the tickets

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

In Foley's first book, he says most of the locker room threatened to not show up for Raw the next night, but they all did.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

The shyt that really blows my mind is the fact that the wrestlers wrestled in a pool of Owen's stain blood. What a helluva business I swear. Like fukk the idea of a man losing his life for a stupid stunt that he didn't comfortable to do (Owen was afraid of heights). Yet, the show must go on pal.

 

[OmegaK2099]

Decent ppv tho

 

[StarClout]

Legendary promo for all the WRONG reasons:

Jarrett just saw his friend fall to his death and being carted out backstage prior to being told to go on with the match. Dude somehow stayed in character and cut a promo about Debra’s t*ts and the match up next.

Dude was a professional cause I damn sure couldn’t do it.

 

[Riley Escobar]

In Foley's first book, he says most of the locker room threatened to not show up for Raw the next night, but they all did.

That was in response to Montreal, not Owen dying.

my memory has been wrong for years

kayfabe kayfabe I NEVER SAID THAT, BROTHER!

 

[Grifter]

Yes, but this is also the company that kept going when Lawler nearly died at ringside a few years ago.

 

[AquaCityBoy]

Yes, but this is also the company that kept going when Lawler nearly died at ringside a few years ago.

Yeah, but fukk Lawler.

i'm just glad for the most part not much really has leaked from that night in terms of pictures/videos

Lord knows what people woulda been posting all over the place had that happened during the smartphone era

I wouldn't have had the heart to ask the wrestlers to work after seeing that happen to one of their brothers,

the "fans" woulda just had to understand.

I still haven't watched that event since it aired, knowing there was a blood stain on the mat almost ensures I likely won't anytime soon.

I watched this and mustered up the courage to finally rewatch Raw is Owen last night. The Raw was so surreal and depressing. I was surprised I could actually keep composure aside from Henry’s poem. “It burns when I cry” then Mark’s breakdown is so gut-wrenching

[ChuckTaylor84]

Owen Hart was just a hell of a wrestler and entertainer

I still miss watching him til this day

His agility was amazing

Sad that his wife won't sign off for him to be in the HOF

He truly deserves it

RIP
