About this listen

 On May 23, 1999, Owen Hart — a gifted wrestling star and member of one of sport's most legendary families — died at the age of 34 during a live pay-per-view event as a result of a tragic stunt gone terribly wrong. In a career defined by dazzling athleticism, sharp wit, and a willingness to reinvent himself, Hart carved out an identity that balanced technical mastery with playful showmanship and embodied both the grit of a wrestling traditionalist and the charisma of an entertainer destined for larger stages. His shocking death in the ring remains one of the darkest moments in sports entertainment, a tragedy that reshaped safety standards in the industry and left fans mourning the loss of a performer whose best years still lay ahead.
