holveck2 Review of WWF Over the Edge

WWF Over the Edge (1999 TV Special)

A horrible tragedy and a stupid decision.

[13 December 2006]

I did not see the ppv my self but when i heard of the tragic passing of one of the greatest pure athletes and one of the WWE's top guys,Owen Hart i was shocked. I was young when it happened but i have been watching wrestling (WWE, WCW) for about 3 years and i knew a lot. I didn't really know much of the ppv besides Owen's death. When i got older i looked up the incident on Wikipedia had found out that they actually continued with the ppv as scheduled. I was appalled and angry. All of the things that Owen contributed to the business and especially WWE that was like a slap in the face to the Hart family. I don't know what could've been going through the head of billionaire Vince McMahon but he wasn't think straight. I try to give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean having a top performed or and superstar die during a live show can leave you hanging ideas. But when i think about it how can you possibly continue a ppv when that happens. The guy fell form the rafters and died. He was afraid of heights in the first place and didn't want to do the stupid stunt. I don't have much more to say but it was the worst possible tragedy for and type of sport to endure but that gives no excuse for the WWE or WWF as it was at the time to continue with ppv.
