Opinions:
“One of the most tragic moments in wrestling history came when Owen Hart fell from the ceiling at Kemper Arena and died. His career ended way too early, but more importantly, his life ended way too early. Owen Hart would have been giving back to the pro wrestling business for years to come & wasn’t even close to hitting his full potential. There were surefire World Championship dreams in the future for Owen Hart. He was, without question, one of the all-time greats and if you aren’t too familiar with his work, go check out some of his classics in 1994 and 1995.” — Jay Alletto
“Both athletic and entertaining, there was nothing Owen Hart could not do in the squared circle. The ultimate professional, I have never heard anyone speak badly about Owen. His match at WrestleMania X against his brother Bret was a clinic, and is one of my personal favorites. One of the most underrated wrestlers of all time, who was taken far too soon, Owen’s spot at #35 is a testament to his ability and work ethic.” — Matt Burgess
“While Bret Hart definitely deserves credit for the raw talent that he brought to wrestling, Owen deserves equal for not just his ability but for the character and personality that he proved to have. Popularizing the overshadowed sibling character in wrestling, he had enough going for him to the point that he became a character that was so conniving and sneaky that you couldn’t help but get invested in him. Having such classic matches and arguably being one of the best heels of the 90’s as an overall performer Owen is one of the most beloved wrestling legends in history.” — Zak Fellows
