History YMMV / OwenHart

* TearJerker:
** His death at ''Over the Edge'', as well as the ''Raw'' paying tribute to him the following night. Special mentions go to Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}}, who seems like he's barely keeping it together, and Wrestling/MarkHenry, who wrote a poem expressing just how distraught he was about the whole affair and had to take a minute just to keep reciting it and still ended up breaking out into tears.
** On the ''Raw'' the week following the tribute show, Jeff Jarrett beat [[Wrestling/CharlesWright The Godfather]] for the Intercontinental Title - the same title that Hart was scheduled to win at ''Over the Edge''. Jarrett tearfully called out Owen's name as he was handed the belt.
** The aftermath of the incident has lasted until this very day. Owen's family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against WWE and later his widow refused to allow them to use his likeness in any video game from the company or in video packages (with the exception of the WWE Network where pay-per views featuring Owen are still available to watch). This means the WWE can never mention Owen on screen again and, as a result, Owen will most likely never get the Hall of Fame induction he so rightly deserves. Though the blow has been softened by Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling not only collaborating with his family to form a tournament in Owen’s name, they’re also set to have him added into their first video game, as well.

** Breaking Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin's neck. It says something that even after his tragic death, one of the most controversial in wrestling, this can be easily the second best-known thing about him, after said death. Made even worse by the fact that, according to Austin, he never apologized; even his brother [[Wrestling/BretHart Bret]] was baffled at his attitude.
* {{Squick}}: Even though you don't actually see him fall at "Over The Edge" (and the mentions of it were removed from the Network version), there's a noticeable bloodstain on the ring apron after it happens. You can see it first in the Jarrett/Debra vs Venis/Bass match (during which Wrestling/JeffJarrett unsurprisingly looks at it with horror) until the end of the event. Some accounts suggest that there was a hole in the ring as well or that it was dented, although it's untrue. The stain is actually residue from [[Wrestling/DavidHeath The Brood]] performing a "blood bath" during the pre-show earlier in the night, but it's still a horrible thing to see under the circumstances.

* DracoInLeatherPants: At ''[=WrestleMania=] XIII'', he and Davey Boy defended the WWE World Tag Team Titles against Mankind (Mick Foley) and Vader, in a match where everyone was a heel. Owen was the only one who got cheers.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** Go back and watch ''Over the Edge''. The opening monologue by Wrestling/TheUndertaker is this. Especially considering how he's talking about "Your heroes will fall" and all.

** No matter who you ask, he will always be remembered as the guy who fell to his death from a zipline at a WWF event.

* TooCoolToLive: He and Wrestling/EddieGuerrero are the two foremost examples of this trope in wrestling.

** Owen Hart's theme, "Enough is Enough" when he was with [[Wrestling/TheNationOfDomination the Nation]], or the Blackhart theme. In the song, it has Owen Hart shouting quotes. He is in character, but consider the following:
*** ''"Come and take your best shot"'': Many critics thought the death was fake, and criticized the WWF for it.
*** ''"I tried to be a nice guy/I played by the rules"'': He stuck with his contract, he did everything that Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, the writers, and bookers said. Owen was convinced by the crew that the zip-line was safe. He, being an incredible man, believed it.
*** ''"You turned your backs on me"'': The WWF was criticized for continuing the pay-per-view after his tragic fall.
*** ''"I snapped"'': The cable snapped and this is what killed him. You could also view this as him making the decision to hang on the zip-line, being crazy enough to do such a thing.
*** ''"I was a victim"'': Death.
*** ''"Enough is Enough, and it's time for a change"'': Owen Hart isn't in the Hall of Fame yet, as his widow, Martha Hart, will not allow it.
* HarsherInHindsight:
** Owen (as the Blue Blazer) actually tried the harness act before. Since the Blazer was supposed to be a buffoonish comic relief character, Owen intentionally got tangled up in the ropes, allowing his opponents to beat on him as he slowly descended to the floor.
** Owen fell to his death at an event called ''Over the Edge''. Needless to say, the WWE never used that name for a pay-per-view again.

*** ''"You turned your backs on me"'': Possibly the WWF continuing the pay-per-view after his tragic fall.

** Owen fell to his death at an event called ''Over the Edge''. Needless to say, the WWE never used that name for a Pay-Per-View again.
** This quote, five months before his death:
--> ''“When my contract is up, I’m out of wrestling. I’ve made plans. I’ve been smart with my fiscal affairs. Financially, I’ll be set. I really want to devote a lot of time to my family. I’ve bought some property on a lake. I plan on doing a lot of boating and fishing. I want to continue to stay in shape. And who knows, I might do ten weeks a year in Japan. Something just to motivate me to keep in shape, keep involved a little bit but not have to deal with the politics, the pressures that are so intense right now. I’ve paid my dues for twelve years now. If I continue for five more, that’s seventeen years working at a pretty hard clip. I think that at that point my family, my wife and kids, have been compromised enough…”''
