At one point wrestling prognosticators predicted that Owen would be the first Hart brother to be a World Champion. Needless to say, that didn’t happen, but when fans say that he was just as talented as his older brother Bret, few can argue.

Owen Hart was initially a great high flyer, but he combined that with a solid ground game that truly made him one of the best grapplers to watch.His heel turn in 1994 brought out a personality that few fans knew he had and by then he was a complete performer.Sadly, he is best known for his tragic death of which the wrestling world has still not fully recovered from.There is a very good chance he won’t get in, as his widow; Martha blames the WWE for his untimely death.This may be an induction the WWE might be afraid to do, no matter how much they may want to.
