holveck2 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.

Steve Donnachie Ever since I was eight years old I have been a big wrestling fan. It didn't matter what federation I watched. WWE,WCW,USWA. To me the action is all I watched it for.May 23rd 1999. That was my 19 birthday. I ordered Over the Edge and I was just expecting another pay per view. But this time. I was wrong. Instead that was the night one of the best wrestlers to come out of Canada a true human being fell to his death due to a stunt gone wrong. Not much you can do to change the situation. But what happened affter Owens death made me very mad.Rather then ending the pay per view and doing the right thing as human beings the WWE decided to protect what comes first and that was the money by keeping the pay per view going as if Owens death never happened.I gotta tell you. Vince Mchmaon has made some stupid decisions in his life but this was by far the stupidest decision he ever made.And this crap with saying Owen would have wanted the pay pew view to keep going. Give me a break. When someone dies on a pay pew view its comon sense to stop it. Thats like a police officer shooting a robber or a mugger with a run and then just leaving the man to die so he can go home and call it a day as if the mans life never mattered.But no matter what happens. Owen will be missed and thanks for the memories for all the times you gave us.

sickthings81 The fact the entire card of that PPV took place that night makes me really feel bad about being a wrestling fan. The WWE stated in a press conference following the event that the reason they went on after Owen's fall is that this is what Owen would have wanted. Sure Owen would have wanted wrestling to go on but not right away. Excuse me but that is by far the WORST decision Vince Mcmahon ever tooked. Im so disgusted with the fact that they were only able to give 15mins, they annouced his death live and spend the following night at Raw all crying out loud on network television paying him a so-called Steve Austin drinking beer celebration. No matter what kind of entertainment you are offering even though you are live in front of the entire country, sometimes the show must be stopped.

willowdana Most people only remember Over the Edge for one thing. Owen's death. I can't give the show a fair rating. It wouldn't be fair too. So I'll just say that it was an interesting show. ONe no one will ever forget. Everything else no one remembers well. Here's to you Owen!
