• Old School Wrestling Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the birthday of Old School WWF Legend “The King of Harts” Owen Hart.
Owen Hart started in his family’s promotion ‘Calgary Stampede Wrestling’ during the 80s, before joining the World Wrestling Federation for the first time in 1988 as The Blue Blazer.
Owen returned to the WWF under his own name in 1991 and stayed with the promotion till his tragic death during the ‘WWF Over The Edge 1999’ PPV.
He once became the 1994 King of the Ring and won several other titles, such as the WWF Intercontinental Championship and the WWF Tag Team Championship, but has yet to be (posthumously) inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, a move that is currently prevented by his widow Martha Hart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & REST IN PEACE!
May 7, 1965 – May 23, 1999
