Martha Hart Blocking Owen Hall Of Fame Induction

[Metta World Movement]

As mad as I am at this woman.....I can't blame her for feeling the way she feels.

 

[Hoss]

Everybody saying "It was years ago she should move on" needs to grow up. You expect somebody to forgive their spouse being killed, so they can see a company profit off of them by putting them in a fictional hall of fame

If your wife or child got killed because their employer was negligent, and all they did was move their body out of the way and keep the business day going like nothing happened you wouldn't forgive them regardless of how many years had passed. The fact that so many wrestling fans hold a grudge against Martha because of how she handles her dead husband's legacy is disgusting.

This is correct.

We'd all like to see some kind of Owen tribute because we're fans, but this really is the bottom line. After what happened, Martha has every right to not want to have anything to do with WWE ever again, and it's very wrong for anyone else to suggest she should. Owen's death didn't affect any wrestling fan or company as profoundly as it affected Martha.

 

[Tommy Fits]

Don't blame her at all. Though for the kids it would probably be nice for them to see how loved and respected their father was among his peers and the fans. But I don't blame her at all.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to THEREALBRAND again

 

[KevCo]

as much as I want to see it, Real Brand is 100 percent correct....but the way she treats the family is fukking disgusting, (I believe)she even has another son with her new husband, so the way she treats the Harts is BS....

Why doesnt Martha get along with Bret and the rest of the Hart family?

HE SHOULD GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS A HALL OF FAME WRESTLER, BROTHER! I UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION, BUT THE HARTS SHOULD LET IT GO, DUDE! FORGET WAITING FOR WRESTLEMANIA, HE SHOULD BE INDUCTED THIS FALL!

I agree with REALBRAND. At the end of the day, Martha has every right in the world to be pissed at the E and want nothing to do with them; considering it was the E's negligence that caused Owen's death. As a fan, I'd like to see Owen in the HOF and be able to use him in WWE licensed video games, but at the end of the day, it's up to Martha. I'm wondering what caused the split between her and the rest of the Hart family. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that the rest of them, including Bret, have forgiven Vince for whatever sins he caused their family.

Right, it was something along the lines of Martha believing most of the Hart family was more concerned with getting jobs with WWE and keeping connections rather than the death of their own brother. She was on good terms with Bret for awhile, but when he started communicating and doing business with WWE again (starting with his DVD set a few years ago), I think she was pretty disgusted and felt betrayed.

This is it. Also, can't blame her for hating the rest, if you read Bret's book, they all sold their souls to Vince shortly after Owen's death for money.. especially Bruce/Diana and Ellie or Alison, can't remember which.

Bret shyts on Bruce something serious the whole book.

I can see that. Bret also felt Martha didn't do enough to keep Owen's legacy alive

Update July 1, 2010 | BretHart.com

I feel that it's ridiculous for anyone to think they are serving the best interests of Owen's memory or his children to pretend he wasn't a wrestler. Not only was he a wrestler, he was a great one and proud of it. I personally believe Martha Hart has done nothing to keep his memory alive and sadly, he fades from view a little more every year. I do suspect this lawsuit is more about publicity, ego, and small-mindedness than it is about pro-wrestling and all of those that are in it.

I know Owen was always proud of his body of work. His fans have never forgotten him and most of today's WWE wrestlers and hundreds of employees have never forgotten him. They speak endlessly of loving memories that speak volumes on what kind of person he was. I saw Owen on TV a few weeks ago against a young Matt Hardy and it put me in such a good mood all day long. Why would anyone want to prevent that? Martha needs to accept the sad truth that he's gone, but we all deserve to be able to salute and honor him for being the great man and the great wrestler that he was. I stopped caring a long time ago about what Martha thinks of me. We don't speak and I haven't seen Owen's children in 10 years. For what reasons, I couldn't begin to tell you. I personally found great inner peace by opening up to forgiveness and instead supported and encouraged current Hart family members now fulfilling their dreams in the complicated-but-astounding world known as the WWE Universe. She completely ignores the fact that Nattie Neidhart, TJ Wilson (Tyson Kidd), and Harry Smith all made a pact when their 12 year old cousin died that they would someday carry on the dream of wrestling in the WWE, this was years before Owen's death and I don't see any reason they should forsake all their dreams. I can't speak more highly of the dedicated, hard working WWE superstars of today.

Having worked with all levels of talent since January, I can honestly say that you won't find a more wholesome bunch of athletes anywhere in any profession. Owen would be proud to be part of what they all are. Martha can say or think whatever the hell she wants but the Hart family as a whole found a way to forgive and move on for the sake of the next generation's well-being. Just because Owen died doesn't mean the Hart legacy from Stu down to his wrestling sons and grandchildren has to die too. The best thing I can do for Owen's kids is take them backstage and introduce them to all the people who love and remember their dad. Owen is loved and missed everyday. Why Martha would insist they never know these people is sad and pathetic.

I believe Owen would turn in his grave watching Martha erase every single thing he ever did, all for spite. Martha Hart needs to celebrate Owen's memory as much as possible, not block it away forever. How stupid and selfish is that? In her own book, she wrote how even though she was angry at Vince, she didn't hate him and that she felt he was truly sorry about what happened. She had written him a letter in order for her to move on and be at peace. Maybe she should practice what she preached.

sad situation

dont have a problem with how martha feels but its annoying when wrestlemania time comes around and we have the same idiots crying about how its fukked up how wwe doesnt induct owen into the HOF when in reality theyd induct him but its martha blocking the move./

 

[jackswstd]

I'm of two minds about this I can understand her side of it, but the fan in me would love to see Owen get inducted.

 

[Brad Piff]

- At one point, WWE officials had been discussing inducting Owen Hart into the 2013 Hall of Fame class as a part of a settlement with Martha Hart.

WWE reached out to Martha about settling her lawsuit against the company and inducting Owen but she turned the offer down. There is a feeling that eventually the lawsuit will be thrown out but that may take some time.

Agreed. This is one of the most annoying as fukk things I see on message boards. It's been discussed ad nauseam they can't do it because he's dead, his widow owns the rights, and she fukking hates them.
