So I've been reading the Owen Hart related questions and there were some great points you made that I actually had thought about and was happy you finally mentioned. Owen Hart's children are old enough to make their own decisions. They can reach out to their father's side of the family and they can decide about Owen Hart's WWE legacy. I also agree that Martha Hart has every right to not want to deal with WWE. However, my question is about Owens siblings. This is the one I get iffy about. If God forbid something were to happen to my brother or sister and I would like them to be remembered with my participation (Hart family hasn't participated in the Owen Hart Foundation) do you feel they have every right to want to honor their brother? I feel like there won't be a happy medium in this answer. However, you did convince me with Martha Hart's point of view.
I said that Martha Hart's children are old enough to decide if they want to meet and know the other members of the Hart family. I never said they could decide on Owen's WWE legacy, because they have no right to make those decisions. Martha Hart is the executor of Owen Hart’s estate and founded the charity. As long as she is alive, she makes the decisions. There is a narrative that Martha hates wrestling - I don't believe that to be the case, because if it was, she never would have licensed Owen's likeness and name to appear on one of the old Acclaim Legends of Wrestling video games. It's that she holds WWE responsible and doesn't want to work with them in any way, and again, who can blame her?
As far as the Owen Hart Foundation, the other members of the Hart family are not involved, nor has there ever been any reason for them to be involved. They are free to honor Owen however they wish but being his brother doesn’t automatically mean they should or have to be part of a charity that bears his name.
All of this, to me, boils down to situations that should be dealt with in private and shouldn’t be part of the public discourse where those who have no right to comment should be giving their opinions. There is a massive bridge burned between the Martha side and the rest of the Hart family and it’s not going to change, just as Owens going into the WWE Hall is likely never going to happen.
We are basically circling the same waters here, and unless there is a fresh, new question covering some sort of ground that, I am going to back away from responding to any additional questions regarding Owen Hart, the Hart Family and the WWE Hall of Fame out of respect for all involved.
I have a question about Sable. What is up with her? Did she and WWE part on bad terms? I don’t understand why she’s not more involved especially with both her husband and the women’s revolution? Does she ever even go to or participate in UFC stuff for Brock?
One has to want to be involved in order to be involved. There’s been no sign that she has wanted to since she left WWE the final time. Being married to Lesnar doesn’t include a clause that means she has to return. There’s no shame in wanting to not perform and in enjoying the privacy of her life today, raising their children. She has been at UFC events in the past, but I don't know if she was at Brock's fight at UFC 200.
Okay Mike so 2 questions 1. How important is the action figure/trading cards, comic books items to the wrestling business? And 2. Are you a collector i.e. WWE elites, relic cards ect? You and the rest of the crew keep up the good work I'm a PWinsider elite member for life!!
In the case of WWE, both make the company licensing money and in the case of the action figures especially help build a bigger bond between younger fans and the company. In the case of smaller companies, while they bring in revenue, it's not a gamechanging level of money. Lucha Libre USA and ECW having action figures didn't change the fate of those companies.
I do not collect any pro wrestling-related material. At 44 years old, it's not something I am interested in. I read every book that I can find that is released about pro wrestling, but that is not to collect, but to have more knowledge and reference materials for my job.
Maybe I'm over thinking this but what are the odds? They have Kevin Owen's beat Strowman for the MITB briefcase, and have him cash in on Roman if he beats Lesnar? What are the odds Vince puts Roman vs Brock on in the middle of the card so the audience doesn't get up and leave early? Do you think Vince might have Brock beat Roman at Summer Slam? Then have him come out on Raw, say he's taking the belt to UFC, then have Strowman cash in MITB?
Other than Brock working the middle of the card, I think all of these things have a potential to happen. It all depends on what WWE (read: Vince McMahon) want out of their future direction. There’s a lot of things to speculate on, all of which adds to interest in Summerslam. That’s a positive to me.
Why did WWE change the music from the opening of the Coliseum Home Videos on the Network?
They likely didn’t own the rights to the music outright and chose they didn’t want to have to pay royalties on it, so they edited in the different music you now hear.
In your writing about Mr. Saito, I was wondering where the McDonalds was where he and Ken Patera had their incident?
Waukesha, Wisconsin. I don't know the location of the McDonalds nor am I going to try and find it.
