Wanted to listen to Martha's interviews with Jericho and Dave/Jim Valley before posting thoughts. Some overlap on both interviews but I have to say I've gained alot of respect for her. Not that I didn't before but I just didn't know much of her viewpoints on what happened, as she hasn't really done full blown interviews like this.
The way she has rode for Owen is commendable. She fought every which way. The constant flights for depositions must have been draining. I know the "offer" number was a tactical suggestion to get the interest running but wish they went much higher than that, since the E ended up recouping all of it and then some in their lawsuit against Lewmar. Back then I felt like I did want her to eventually work with WWE to open the vault to Owen stuff, but I totally get her side. Why let them profit off of anything to do with Owen. Though a great wrestler she knows she can do more to honour him with the foundation and I respect that. Didn't seem like she was a fan of it anyway. Plus she said she has no problem honouring his wrestling career with any other fed, as long as it's not the WWE. But since no one from Japan, etc. has reach out then there really isn't anything to do. Prowrestlingtees is a nice start though.
Bret is my GOAT, and I get his side about preserving Owen's career, but I think Martha's stance is correct. Don't give the E any kind of inch. Still can't believe that clip for the harness that was used, unreal.
