“Owen Hart will always be one of my favorite wrestlers for a variety of reasons. There was really nothing that he couldn’t do. For all of his athletic and entertaining gifts, Owen was a far better person. Owen is the only person, in my entire career, that I’ve never heard anyone say a negative word about. And, for this business, that’s unheard of. #RIPOwen” wrote Jim Ross on Instagram.
“I can’t believe it’s been 19 years. Remembering #owenhart #prowrestling #legend today,” tweeted Ken Shamrock
