I remember this cuz i was watching w/ my dad. I learned what a 10sec delay was that day 😢

[@BoomerMulligan]

Nobody but the family, should have the right to have it public . God bless 🙏 those kids and family I'm sure his brother in the rest of his family are taking care of them fine the whole family were wrestlers even their father they learned it from that's why there was such a good rest their father they learned it from that's why there was such good wrestlers?!?!?!!!!!😊❤😢❤😊😊

[@matthewdejoy-wm6mr]

I was watching it on my family's illegal scramble box as a kid

[@gregoryballestero4369]

​@@matthewdejoy-wm6mr love the days of "Hot Boxes" for cable, got to watch all the ppv movies, and events, shitty part happened when the cable provider would send out a "digital bullet" some type of signal through the coax that would fry your hot box if it was connected at the time

[@SphereOfStreaming]

[@edgar1557]

What does that mean? 10sec delay?

[@alexandertkeith3541]

“That’s when things kinda went sideways” understatement of the century

[@lukustreloar7243]

Sad day for everyone that liked the sport.

[@dudder86ify]

I was there and glad there's no video of it omg it was insane

Damn that's crazy you witnessed that. I always wanted to see the video but as an adult now. I don't want to. There is audio of it tho

[@Cruzer-vn8lf]

Watching this today on May 23rd 2024, coincidentally!

[@evilbeetlekustomscreations4965]

I remember as a child seeing this, you was my favorite RIP🙏

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

I was 11 years old with my dad when it happened . Just hearing the sound of him crashing down was traumatic as hell for me. I couldn't sleep properly for weeks

[@toshpaintings]

What did it sound like?

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

The PPV was called OVER THE EDGE

Thx captain obvious

[@GabrielCroft]

@@_Chris_D_3004There’s a point to the title, you sheep.

Youre a literal dunce ​@_Chris_D_3004

[@gregoryballestero4369]

Good thing cell phone tech wasn't further along at the time or there would be videos of this tragedy from every angle

[@jaimep3432]

It was too dark to see anything other than a silhouette.

[@alfamike]

​@@jaimep3432Wasn't dark at all. The ring lights were just dimmed. You would've still seen him falling into the ring.

[@Mystra]

​@jaimep3432 maybe with the tech back then it would matter but phones now can zoom in over 50x and illuminate anything they capture not to mention editing software

[@DeViLiShGoD72]

Right people don't mess around with recording nowadays....especially at a WWE event....😮

[@RejectedSpiritX]

I talked to someone on Facebook who was in attendance during Over the Edge. He confirmed that the story about Owen’s last words were true. The last thing Owen yelled was for everyone to look out, hoping he wouldn’t hit anyone below. Shortly after, he impacted the top rope, which was the fatal injury

[@christophercarpkey9382]

Another tragedy for the hart family caused by the McMahons.

[@danseth5775]

I remember when it happened. I was ten years old and an Owen fan. I hate that the last months of his life, he had to play that stupid cringe "Blue Blazer " heel character that all the fans hated. In fact that Blue Blazer is what led to his death. RIP

[@kevinmeeks5169]

You spelt karma wrong

[@demonicar]

Owen lost his life that night but countless others were spared from a broken neck.

[@Scepticool1]

Shut up!

[@filmbuff2777]

Austin broke a guys neck in Japan before it happened to him. He is also a wife beater.

[@rrchicken117]

Bait

[@Brndn350Z]

Show should have been stopped. Ring was considered a crime scene at that moment

[@jamiesbgrace]

Jim Ross said in another interview something different

[@andresciahooten9598]

This is so sad

[@nathantaylor4381]

Harness too tight for extended hanging. Cuts of circulation.

[@RejectedSpiritX]

Not quite that.
A snap shackle was used, and he was too heavy for it to work, so the shackle opened due to the high amount of pressure against it from his body weight.
The snap shack was meant to rig sail boats, only requires 8 pounds of pressure to open, and can be opened with one hand.
Owen’s body weight exerted at least 8 times that limit. At 50 pounds of a load, the shackle begins to fail and then opens to prevent breakage.
The shackle wasn’t broken at all. It opened.

[@stingray6154]

Forced to be the “blue blazer” after saying No to McMahon too many times. Hmmmmm

[@tree77491]

At one time, Owen was the Man!!

[@Darkporter]

I wonder is anyone in the crowed actually some how recorded the actual fall

[@anonymous_dot_com2326]

Unlikely, phones didnt have cameras back then, video cams were rare too

[@zz7917]

In 1999? I doubt it, there were camera recorders back then but still I doubt it

❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

[@kevinmeeks5169]

Was it a tragic death or was it his karma? Fkn up two necks with the same move, after you were already warned twice about it. He did it to Austin so Bret could be number one cuz no way could he have gotten that high if Austin was around. Bret could put a match on but his mic skills were god awful.

[@filmbuff2777]

Um, Austin broke a wrestlers neck in Japan doing the same move. And Austin is a convicted woman beater. Funny how you support that.

[@SakAttack87]

Are you actually serious? 😂

Karma

[@filmbuff2777]

No, karma is when Austin broke a neck in Japan, & then Owen did it to him. You are also supporting a woman beater.

[@SakAttack87]

For what? Accidentally breaking the neck of someone who accidentally broke another guy's neck with the exact same move a few years earlier?

[@SphereOfStreaming]

@@SakAttack87probably shouldn’t do that move then
