Owen wrestled and tolied in mid-card matches for years before finally gaining main event status in the mid-to late 90's.
In possibly the worst decision he ever made, Owen followed the direction of his boss, Vince McMahon to be lowered to the ring during his entrance on May 23, 1999 in the Kemper Arena in Kansas City.
And in the worst
tradegy ever in wrestling history Hart fell 90 feet from the ceiling to the ring below, snapping his neck on a
turnbuckle.
Whether Hart prematurely released
the harness holding him or it malfunctioned has never been revealed.
Owen Hart died while working for the
WWF on
May 23, 19999.
