Here Today... Gone To Hell!

what happened? i saw a clip o it long time ago, was he suposed to be thrown down?
who did it?
did he just land wrong?
what happened to he who did it?

He was playing a character called The Blue Blazer a 'Superhero' of sorts.? He was meant to 'Fly' down to the ring via a safety harness type thing, now he either released it too early accidently or the thing was fault, end result was he went headfirst onto a turnbuckle and later died.? I believe that broke his neck.? It was at the event Over The Edge in 1999.

http://www.gerweck.net/owenharttrib.htm there's a biography of him.....

Any other wrestling stuff you wanna know dude just ask in the wrestling thread, 99% of the wrestling stuff on this board is there....although we're slowly infiltrating other threads ;)

R.I.P Owen.



The guy was meant to win the Intercontinental title that night as well  :(

well...

RIP

I haven't clicked on the link, but probably not the best post on a thread of this topic...

Well the thread is "Owen Hart's death"...

True, but the guy wanted just what happened, newspaper clipping etc. isn't very respectful IMO

If he'd shown the pics yeah...but it's only a link and he gives warning...

Once again true, but i don't feel like arguing this one so no more from me.

I remember thinking it was just an angle at first.? Then when JR announced he died, I couldn't believe it.? The worst day in wrestling history...we lost a great wrestler, and an even greater person.? Everyone loved Owen.? Its really a shame.? That Raw the next night was the best damn wrestling show I ever saw...very emotional stuff.

It was a real tragedy, i think its the entirely avoidable nature of it all that makes it so sad, if that harness had been checked properly - which is just common sense when u try and pull such a stunt - in hindsight u have to wonder what they were thinking doing anything as reckless as that in the first place.

When u consider the falls from the Hell in a cell cage it is a small wonder so few have died in and around the ring. Its only entertaining if the stunts don't really hurt people

okey.. it wasnt owen heart i saw...

someone threw someone down from the "roof" and there was tables and shit in the ring, i think he was suposed to hit those, but missed and he bounced of the floor, into the turnbuckle and landed.
a very short clip, but you can see the security rush to him in the end....

who was that?


what other wrestlers has died during/cuz of a match?

No idea but it is one of the biggest fakes around. : ok:

Sounds like...

Mankind v Undertaker - Bad Blood 1997 - Hell in a cell match

I believe the match you mean could be an indy match from 2002 featuring an insane stunt from Vic Grimes?

wow...
how come that guy havent died yet? i mean, a fall like that one i saw must be pretty fuckin' hurtfull.. i've seen/heard that mick foley have been though a whole lotta shit...

but there were no cage/cell in the vid i saw...

oh.. ok.. but it looked pretty bad... how can anyone survive that shit? im speachless.. oh well... crazy ass motherfuckers!

Was it like a scaffolding with maybe 20 tables propped up on each other?

yeah.. and i found it again now, and i saw he hit the table, but it still looked brutal!

Damn straight. That guy was blackballed from ECW for being to reckless for god's sake. Only was way he could keep his name in fans mind's i guess.

wow... i mean, its okey that its entertainment, but doin' that shit is just suicide....

Yeah, those watching live at home never saw Owen fall.  They ran a pretaped interview with him, then when they cut back live it had already happened.  That's something I can honestly say I never ever want to see.  I can't imagine what it was like actually being there and witnessing it.  Especially like little kids and stuff.  Very depressing stuff.

ah.. ok. i though they filmed it on live TV... now i understand  a little more... hehe...
a real pity it should end like that for him.
