'''Owen James Hart''' (May 7, 1965 – May 23, 1999) was a professional wrestler best known for his work in [[WWEWorld Wrestling Entertainment|the World Wrestling Federation]], though he also wrestled for Stampede Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, and (for a brief period) [[WCW|World Championship Wrestling]]. He held the Intercontinental, European, and Tag Team Championships, won two Slammy Awards (one of his trademark accomplishments), and was the 1994 King of the Ring. He was also part of the storied [[Wrestling Family|Hart family]] - one of WWE Hall of Famer Stu Hart's many children, he was the brother of WWE Hall of Famer [[Bret Hart]] and the brother-in-law of both "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart.
 
Owen's life came to an end on May 23, 1999 at the WWE pay-per-view ''Over the Edge''. At the time, Owen was in his Blue Blazer gimmick - the Blue Blazer being a pastiche of superhero-type wrestlers - and at ''Over the Edge'', his entrance was to involve rappelling down from the rafters to a few feet above the ring, then end up falling on his face as he released himself from the harness. Unfortunately, the harness holding Owen malfunctioned, and he fell down into the ring, hitting his chest on the turnbuckle. He was declared dead just minutes later, after being carried out of the ring.
