Bruiser Chong Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Owen Hart died. I can't believe it's already been six years. That night's still so vivid in my mind.
JN News Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I still fucking miss Owen, Davey Boy, & Brian Pillman.
Guest news_gimmick Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I think that night is still vivid to us all, I know it is for me. Watching that show after they announced he died was just the oddest thing, it was so unexpected.
TheFranchise Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I wasn't even aware that it was tonight, but when I read 'Six Years Ago Today' I knew instantly. This is a downer
Slickster Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 Yeah, I didn't realize it until I looked at some wrestling media forums and noticed everybody was posting stuff related to that night. I wondered why, and then I remembered.
iliketurtles Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I had a dentist appointment this morning and it hit me. Wonder if they'll do anything at the beginning of Raw...doubt it. God rest his soul.
Guest Stunt Granny Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 I took a crap just now and a little piece of it floated back to the top, I shed a tear. RIP Owen
nl5xsk1 Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 This isn't meant to be a dick, so I apologize if it's construed that way ... but do people actually MISS a wrestler that died, the same way that they miss a family member or friend that died? Or is it just a feeling of sadness over someone dying?

Or is it just a feeling of sadness over someone dying? good question. I am not sure on that one. Personally for me it's a feeling of sadness over someone's death. Of course when you are such a huge wrestling fan, when any guy/girl dies, it feels like losing family somewhat but not quite. I think more people have pretended to like him since he died to get sympathy, cuz in 99 before he died, I don't remember that many owen fans on the net. I think it might be the cause of death that really gets to us all, as it was a stupid and pointless way to die. to Owen.
iliketurtles Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 It's hard...I mean, we don't know these people on a personal level, but at the same time it's like we've known them all our lives.
The Kid Posted May 23, 2005 Report Posted May 23, 2005 It hits me a bit personally just because I'm friends with his family. I never got to meet him but I grew up watching him and he always was my favourite wrestler. I miss him all the time, a lot of things would be different if he was still alive. It's such a shame. RIP Owen.

Or is it just a feeling of sadness over someone dying? I really don't think that it's the same way as a family member or a friend dying. I mean, whenever I hear "May 23" I'll think of Owen as the same of "August 1" with my grandfather. It's hard...I mean, we don't know these people on a personal level, but at the same time it's like we've known them all our lives. Yea me too. Just like when I hear October 5 and I think of Brian Pillman. But those are the only 2 dates that I think of a wrestler's death for some reason. Surprised no one complained how Bsichoff had a ECW Funearl on Owen's anniversary.
Masked Man of Mystery Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 Um..I'm posting this very late in the game, but Owen's death hit me very hard because at that point I was just getting into pro wrestling. I watched the first Smackdown(the special, before it became a regular show) and I saw him as Blue Blazer, and I was somewhat familiar with him because I had played(and at that point I think I owned) Warzon, and I woke up the Monday afterwards and turned on the news and it was like oh my God, you know? My mom couldn't understand why I was so upset, but well, I've been very lucky, all my relative have had long lives, so I hadn't had to deal with any of them dying at that point, and no one I really cared about at the time had died(at this point I was mostly a Star Wars/Star Trek geek), so it was the first time someone I actually knew and cared about had really died in my lifetime. R.I.P. indeed
