MARTHA HART STATEMENT ON WWE OWEN HART DVD PLANS

By Paul Jordan on 2015-05-08 18:07:41
As noted here on PWInsider.com, Wrestling DVD News reported yesterday that WWE was working on an Owen Hart documentary that would be released on DVD and Blu-ray later this year. In the article stated that Owen's widow Martha gave her support the project. However, they have since retracted that statement publishing the following words from Martha herself:

“My children and I were unaware of this project until May 7, when it was brought to our attention by a friend who had read about it online. Contrary to your report, we do not back or support it in any way, nor has WWE requested our backing or support. From what little we know of the project, it seems to be another attempt to exploit Owen’s memory, and his tragic death, for commercial gain. We have resisted that kind of initiative for almost 16 years. If WWE really wanted to honor Owen’s legacy, it would just let him rest in peace.”
