Jerry Lawler remembers Owen Hart - Episode 11
Спорт
It's been 18 years since the wrestling world lost Owen Hart. On this episode of 'Dinner With The King', hosts Jerry "The King" Lawler and Glenn Moore talk about the night Hart passed away and his legendary career.
From being at Hart's side when he fell in Kansas City to remembering Owen's pranks, The King leaves nothing on the table when it comes to the King of Harts.
They also chat about some of the more memorable ribs of Lawler's career, including someone using The King's crown as a toilet!
Jinder Mahal is WWE Champion! And J.R. made his return to the commentary table over the weekend. The King shares his opinion about both topics.

I was 11 yo watching in my bedroom, when they announced he died I went and told my parents, they told me wrestling wasn’t real and it was part of the story line. The next morning they saw it on the news.

Same thing at our school. People were laughing like "you guys are idiots, wrestling's fake". Then people bought the local newspaper in Edinburgh and it was on page 3, full story. Finally people took it seriously.

I was a teenager and I’m in Ireland so it was in the middle of the night for me. I knew it was bad soon as we saw King. Lawler was white as a sheet and trying to hold back tears and not little ones either.
Owen Hart was the greatest. I got his autograph once. My buddy and I both snuck into the front row section at the Cincinnati gardens to get it. He was the only one that came out. He did a interview with a local reporter. I remember it was a day or 2 after he had join the nation of domination. May Owen Hart Rest In Paradise
Whenever I think of Jerry the King I get hungry for burger King which is what fans use to call him back in his wrestling days
This is the first shoot interview I've heard with the King and I'm shocked how different he sounds

Hey John, there's a good one of the King also on KZread. You can see him. Maybe in the early 2000s. Very good. It's just he's a great storyteller, and there's so much it feels like doesn't get to talk about everything. He's very good at details imo, but he needs a 2 to 3 hr timespan to say it all. Probably more like 4 hrs!

Horrible, horrible incident. Made even worse by how unnecessary and avoidable it was. If only he’d told Vince and the others that he had vertigo or something. It reminds me of an incident on a television show here in England in the 1980’s, the Late Late Breakfast show, where a bloke died after attempting a stunt from a great height with a bungee rope and quick release harness clip. So sad. RIP Owen.
I love jerry man.. Best color commentator ever.. But beyond that people are to young to realize how amazing and how big and popular he was in his heyday.. I always look up jim cornette shoots. On jerry lawler to get a true feel on how good jerry really was.bc Jim cornette loved king and rightfully so.. I wishhhhhhhh there were more tape on kings actual wrestling career..bc from the sound of it he was amazing..esp on the mic
I saw new pictures after the fall, and on one of them, it was taken just after and Owen’s right hand was indeed up.

Jerry Lawler may have been the last person Owen saw or was looking at before losing consciousness. If his face was already turning gray when the paramedics took the mask off, and Lawler was the first person (unless the ref was) to check on Owen...I'd say it was a good possibility.

He definitely wasn't dead on impact, he had the equivalent of a truck hitting u at about 50miles an hr. He severed the main valve the goes to the heart, and quickly bled to death internally. Safe to say , he probably could make out faces for the first minute , but not much else.
As a life long fan of professional wrestling, it's sad to hear that harmless ribs are no longer done. I'm from Toronto,Canada and I think I would carry on Owen's pranks and Bret's Anti-American character (no offense) but WWE likes to have themes where foreigners are evil and it's been a while since a Canadian has been a hot heel. I love people and the industry and just want to bring back the past with a bit of the present. Look out for me. Cheers.

To this day i still have no idea how they police ALLOWED the show to continue and disturb a fucking CRIME SCENE because thats what it was. When someone dies you dont just shove them out of the way and continue on as you were, they need to investigate shit like that.

The “show must go on” is one of the most BS excuses those in the wrestling business use for that night. The show absolutely should’ve been stopped instantly, it was a potential crime scene, end of. Why are they all so afraid to say that? I guess what actually is applicable is the phrase “don’t bite the hand that feeds you (Vince).” Sad.

@@tabposey Yeah, I don't know what broadcast you saw, but the actual "fall" was never shown. Nor was the medical team coming to his aid. Or Lawler holding his head. He fell during a bumper for the match; and the PPV specifically filmed the crowd as to not sensationalize the realism that was actually going on. The reason the show went on was because everything was ready to go. That, and not everybody knew what was going on in the show; they only knew their spots. Coupled with people spending almost $50 in PPV sales and God knows how much in ticket sales: The show must go on. Let them find out after the fact.

Owen Hart needs to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, not to make money off of his death, but recognize him as a wrestler because he existed in WWE. His legacy does not deserve to be forgotten because Owen Hart does not the deserve the Chris Benoit/Jimmy Snuka treatment (Being blacklisted).

Why do they deserve to get away with it while Martha & her kids had to live with the arrogant decisions made by WWE? Owen is in OTHER Hall of Fames. That idiot original poster does NOT care about those. All he cares about is his own selfish pleasure he'd get by a phony WWE ceremony. After the induction, what next? A listing on some dumb website? That does NOTHING. There is the Hart of Gold DVD, KZread, the WWE Network & other DVDs which feature Owen's work. How does an internet page change anything other than WWE being able to exploit Owen for profit? If you fans actually cared about Owen being celebrated, you would be pleased with these other hall of fame inductions.
