Here is the video I was talking about and if you were too young to ever watch Owen Hart this video shows exactly how great of a wrestler he was:

Personally I think is one of the best of all time and if he didn't die he probably would not only have countless World Title's but he would also be right next to his brother Bret Hart as the best wrestler ever. To me, his death was even harder to take because the Hart family means so much to me as a fan and they are the reason I became a fan of pro wrestling. What do you think about his legacy?

Owen Hart was one of the originators of using the ropes to sprinboard yourself and one of the first heavyweights to do cruiserweight moves off the top rope, that is why he was nicknamed "The Rocket."

I will always fan of Bret Hart more than any other wrestler but I will say one thing, while Bret Hart was the better technical and submission wrestler than Owen, Owen was much more creative and athletic than Bret was.

owen is one of the best wrestlers 2 never wear the heavyweight belt. if he was still here think of the feuds he could have wit benoit, eddie or chavo guerrero, jericho, kurt angle. he'd b a way better champion than cena, batista, and lashley put 2 gether. R.I.P Owen Hart. we true fans of the sport of wrestling miss your skill, athleticism, and candor. u r a true hall of famer.

Stu Hart (their dad) always knew that Bret and Owen would make it. He taught Owen to be a good wrestler, and than he send him around the world (Germany, UK, USA) so he could learn even more. Owen was a wonderful, skilled wrestler. I know that he would have stopped wrestling in 2001, so he could spend more time with his family. It's a shame that he had to die because of Vince McMahon's greed. If he had employed real experts to plan that stunt, Owen would still be alive. I will always remember his "war" against Bret and his time in the Hart Foundation, and the many tricks he used to play. But I will also remember McMahon's behaviour (not stopping the show, sueing Owen's widow and many more) that made me stop watching WWE. (I'm still a Wrestlingfan, but I watch other promotions.) If you want to know more about Owen, read "Broken Harts" by Martha Hart or "Lord of the Ring" (biography of Stu Hart) by Marsha Erb.

It is a shame he had to die, he was a very good in ring performer, blue blazer or not!! HE will always be rememberd for his death and not what he did in the ring which is a shame, and he will always live in the shadow of the hitman... all and all it is a sad thing, but at least he died doing what he loved!

Owen had good reflexes and a good sense of humour. He could be quite funny.
