Owen Hart never accomplished any more then Bret. However, he was a very popular superstar, and shocked a lot of people when he beat his brother at Wrestlemania. The accident was tragic, but, as he never won the WWE Championship, or been in a WWE Championship match, it's pretty straight forward why he hasn't been inducted. Maybe later, though.

I think the tragic way that Owen died in the ring might accidentally open up old wounds for his family.Bret still holds ill-will towards Vince & certainly will not let it happen.Owen's wife sued the WWE over it & she refuses point-blank to ever appear on a WWE show inc.Hall of Fame.Even tho Vince did pay her compensation, there would be a lot of discomfort on both sides at Mania.I think it was decided to leave things as they were, as Owen's wife wants no publicity etc.

I'm sure he definitely has been considered,or his family may have even been asked and declined!You have to think about all the bad blood between Mr.McMahon and the Hart family,they lost Owen to one of his outrageous ideas,then there was the wrongful death lawsuit that went to court after his death!It would cause them pain to have to be there and see him in the Hall of Fame of the place where he lost his life!Plus I don't see the family or Mr. McMahon all being comfortable being in the same room!Bret turned down his nomination,before reconsidering after speaking to Jimmy Hart!Maybe one day it will happen,but who knows!!

regrettably Martha refuses to allow WWE to place Owen interior the corridor of Fme... she's nevertheless fairly bitter incredibly much sixteen years later. possibly issues might desire to have been dealt with in yet in any different case yet in ingredient of certainty nevertheless that hindsight is a appealing ingredient. I undergo in recommendations the day the twist of fate exceeded off. i replaced into at school rehearsing for the college instruct, i'm an in basic terms baby raised via a single determine and we did not have satellite tv for pc television then so i could not watch yet I undergo in recommendations that day very vividly. as quickly as I did watch wrestling as slightly youngster, Owen and Bret have been my regularly occurring wrestlers... i replaced into easily fortunate sufficient to fulfill Bret at a e book signing on July 12th 2009... between the proudest, scariest and happiest moments of my existence.

I think that since Bret left the WWE in such bad terms that they had to find a way to screw him out of the title they are frightened enough not to let his brother into the HOF just so they won't have to deal with him again. Yes I know that its' wrong and there are plenty of other people that were great friends with him and still wrestle with the company today, but that's just what I think.

I totally agree with you! But the WWE first has to ask his family for permission but they did not wanted him inducted since wrestling was starting to be a bad thing for the Hart family. Someone told me that and i understand why they might have not wanted him inducted. HE DEFINITELY DESERVES A SPOT, but they don't want him to.. =(
HAVE A NICE DAY!
Death, Controversy and Lawsuit
On May 23, 1999 Hart fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri, during the WWF Over the Edge pay-per-view event. Owen was in the process of being lowered into the ring from the rafters of Kemper Arena for a booked WWF Intercontinental Championship match against The Godfather. In keeping with the Blazer's new 'buffoonish superhero' character, Hart was to be lowered to just above ring level, at which time he would release himself from the safety harness and then comically fall flat on his face. He had performed the stunt only a few times before, and was worried about performing the stunt at Kemper Arena due to the height involved (Owen had a fear of heights). Something went wrong with the stunt and Owen fell from the catwalk and died from his injuries less than an hour later.
Owen had performed a practice stunt earlier in the day just to calm him down and the stunt went forward on the show as scheduled. His wife Martha has suggested that, by moving around to get comfortable with both the harness and his cape on, Owen unintentionally triggered an early release and fell 78 feet (24 m) into the ring, smashing his chest on a padded, but still unforgiving turnbuckle and was thrown into the ring.
TV viewers at home did not see the incident or its aftermath, as the WWF was transmitting a promotional video package for the match, and only showed the audience while Owen was being worked on by medical personnel inside the ring while WWF television announcer Jim Ross repeatedly told those watching live on pay-per-view that what just transpired was not a wrestling angle or storyline and that Hart was hurt badly, trying to get across the seriousness of this situation.
Owen was transported to the Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The cause was later revealed to be internal bleeding from blunt chest trauma. Jim Ross announced the death of Owen Hart to the home viewers during the PPV but not to the crowd in the area. The WWF chose to continue the event, which drew a great deal of criticism over the following weeks, especially as the main event of the evening involved The Undertaker (also known as the "Deadman") winning the WWF Title. While the show did go on it was never released commercially by WWF Video and to this date no footage has ever been released of Owen Hart falling, the existence of such footage at all has been questioned over and over.
In the weeks that followed, much attention focused on the harness Owen used that night, especially on the "quick release" trigger and safety latches. When someone is lowered from the rafters in a harness, there are backup latches that must be latched for safety purposes. These backups may take some time to unlatch, which would have made Owen's stunt difficult to perform smoothly. Therefore, it was apparently decided that it was more important not to have the safety backups, because it would be easier for Owen to unlatch himself.
In addition to not having safety backups, the harness Owen used was designed for sailboats and required only six pounds of weight to trigger the quick release mechanism; Owen weighed about 225 pounds. An out-of-court settlement between Owen Hart's family and the WWF has prevented the release of any information about the harness. The WWF, however, decided to ban stunts of a similar nature from this point on to avoid a similar event from occurring.
Owen left behind a widow, Martha, and two children, Oje Edward and Athena. Martha Hart settled her wrongful death lawsuit against the WWF for approximately $18 million[1], and used the funds to establish the Owen Hart Foundation. Martha wrote a book about Owen's life in 2002 called Broken Harts.
