He did the same sappy weepy-eyed garbage in the Andre doc. He gets all emotional and it's almost enough to make you forget how badly he's abused these people and countless other wrestlers before and after them.

I'm well past the point of believing that any displays of emotion on the part of Vince are just him playing a role. I'll never be convinced he doesn't just wipe the crocodile tears from his eyes, step off camera, and think to himself "I REALLY SOLD THAT poo poo!!" before going off and double fisting steak wraps and pondering which NXT recruits to bury.

Just imagine how much happier Owen's children would have been if they'd only been allowed to spend more time around Teddy Hart

Imagine a woman whose husband was killed by carnies, being a bit bitter towards the carny industry. Madness. How dare she.

Whenever I see something like this I just imagine a situation where Patrick Ewing was killed during a game against the Timberwolves in 1994 when a hoop broke and fell on him and they kept playing the game.

I imagine that he was dressed as the Hamburglar at the time, complete with hat.

I imagine Marv Albert coming back from commercial and having to explain why half the floor is covered in a tarp that slides every time someone goes for a jumper.

And then I imagine what I would feel if I was Ewing's widow.

It really blows my mind. Seeing people say "she doesn't care about pro wrestling at all!" like its some indictment on her character. So what? Millions of people don't care or like pro wrestling and its hard to find a more justified case then her.

Yeah, "She doesn't love the thing her husband loved and got killed doing" is not the gotcha they think it is in their heads.

I'm trying to imagine that argument in the context of any other line of work and its even crazier.

See, there is the darker side of the whole “But Owen could be in a video game!” and it’s that plenty of assholes will post videos of the game to YouTube where Owen falls from various things and they’ll think it’s hilarious. Sort of like how a bunch of videos of poo poo like someone falling off a scaffolding in ECW was labeled as “Owen Hart’s death video” for years.

I mean, you can already do that with CAWs, but this would be a bit different.

Today, Vincels have been trying to make sure you remember that Owen Hart was actually a lovely person, for some reason...
...but it seems like he was *massively freaked out* by having injured someone so badly, which is understandable even if he obviously should have checked in with Austin/apologized.

How in the holy mother of gently caress do you watch that Dark Side episode and come away with takes such as "gently caress Owen Hart's widow and children for being attention-seeking whiners and badmouthing Bret/Vince/WWE"? Jesus Christ, what is wrong with these people?

They think the relationship they have in their head with Owen is more important than the real one that his wife had with him. So their want to see him honored in a way that matters to them is more important than what she wants. It's an easy attitude to pick up if you're not very empathetic or even really aware that other people have emotions and feel them the same way you do.

These people just want to play Owen in the video games and buy Black Hart shirts from WWE Shop and buy tickets to watch Bret mumble his way through a HOF induction speech. They never gave a poo poo about Owen the person or his family.
