Owen Hart is undoubtedly one of the greatest tag-team performers in the history of pro-wrestling. A four-time tag-team champion, Owen is best known for having a class-apart rivalry with his brother, Bret Hart.

Their steel cage match at SummerSlam 1994 ranks amongst the best matches in WWF's history.

On May 23rd 1999, Owen Hart during his ring entrance at the WWF's Over the Edge pay-per-view event, fell tragically when his release opened untimely with him being suspended nearly 80 feet above the ring, leaving him dead.

A special episode, RAW is Owen aired the next night and had shoot interviews with fellow wrestlers who had great stories to tell about Hart.

Such is the legacy of Owen Hart that Kevin Owens named his son Owen and incorporated the name into his ring name as a tribute to both of them.
