Henry pleading with Owen Hart's wife to let Owen in the HOF was awkward and bad

Martha lost her husband due to the company forcing him into a stupid stunt he didn't want to do. Just let that sink in. I can fully imagine she doesn't want that same company to make money out of him after causing his death.

Now Henry addresses her and makes her look like some kind of bad guy for not allowing him into the HoF which is her good right. I appreciate Henry's effort but this shouldn't be done during this speech which was broadcasted worldwide. He could just as easy do this in private instead of painting a picture like he did here.

Look, I get where you're coming from and where Martha's coming from. Now see where the fans are coming from. They want Owen's legacy to be celebrated, not to be kept under a carpet like some mistake.

Fans are welcome to celebrate Owen's legacy.

They don't need effectively Vince McMahon's popularity contest for past wrestlers, an event that's ultimately used to market WWE, to do that.

They want Owen to be celebrated properly. You know what I'm talking about. Hall of Fame induction, specials on him, the works. He deserves it, regardless of what Martha thinks.

That would be celebrating properly. Would warm the heart all these alleged fans bandying together to start a project, documentary, night, whatever to honour him. Do it. Go! Fly! Start crowdfunding! DO IT!

Why are you getting mad about this? Why is it so wrong to want to see Owen get the place he deserves in the business he loved?

The Hall of Fame means nothing. 

A)There isn't even an actual Hall of Fame, building or anything.
B)It's not a celebration of the best in wrestling history, it's a a celebration of the people vince likes that were in wrestling history.

Because Owen deserves to be officially recognized. It's dumb that Martha has held this grudge for like two decades and won't let her husband take his rightful place in history. And I can't for the life of me understand why fans get mad at other fans for dare wanting to see Owen take his rightful place in history.

Whether it's a physical hall or the people inducted are "the best" isn't important. What's important and why it means so much to the people being inducted is that it's the biggest platform for wrestling careers to be celebrated and recognized and it would mean so much for a lot of people in and out of the business for Owen Hart to get that kind of career celebration. 

I used to be one of those people who looked at WWE's Hall of Fame as a joke with no real prestige but after watching through each year recently I realized I was looking at it from the wrong perspective because the "prestige" of it isn't as important as the inductees getting that chance to have their career celebrated. No matter if they were only a midcarder like Koko B Ware or the biggest stars in history, they get a substantial platform to talk about their careers and give thanks back. Something that for a lot of them would be a lot more special than a smaller, less grandiose Hall of Fame induction.

Owen belongs in the HoF next to his brother Bret, plain & simple. Its been 20 years. His accomplishments should be celebrated. There should be action figures of him, documentaries out his life & career, the works. Just like Bret Hart got. Owen was without a doubt one of the best. Its no wonder even members of the Hart family don't like Martha, she essentially is going to be the reason his memory in wrestling fades in years to come. Owen Hart deserves better, he deserves to be HoF member.

The hall of fame absolutely means nothing. It's literally whoever Vince wants. Sure they get to talk about their career and that's nice but it still doesn't mean anything. It might as well be a talk show. 

The godfather shouldn't be near a WWF/WWE hall of fame let alone a wrestling one. Nobody votes on this. There is no prestige. Based off what Vince and Russo did to Owen I don't even know why Bret came back. WWE and some fans use the fans as an excuse. The fans don't need WWE as a link to find these guys and hear from them. As much as WWE likes to make you think.

This is a whatever issue. Both sides have valid points. A cynical person could find reasons to condemn them both. And someone idealistic could give a dreamy eyes statement about both. What hall of fame “means”. The right that the “fans” have to the legacy over the “right of the family” etc

It’s pointless. Sometimes relationships are ugly. It’s just about what she wants to do.

That's actually a great idea. Just a Network show where a Legend can talk for quite a while about his career or gets interviewed about it. That way they can take their time and don't have to rush their stories like they usually do at the HoF. Besides, it's cheap programming and clips of it can later on be used in documentaries and such.

If WWE wants to induct Owen without Martha’s permission, there are two ways to go about it.

A) The easiest solution is to just give Owen a Legacy induction, as those inductions do not require a member of the deceased wrestler’s family to attend the ceremony.

B) Include Owen as part of a group induction with The Hart Foundation. Bret (second 2 time inductee) and Jim Neidhart can accept the induction on behalf of the deceased members (Owen, Bulldog, and Pillman) thus Martha is not required to accept or attend.

But there is no way that Martha will ever accept a solo induction for Owen. She will take her hatred of WWE to the grave.

Not sure if right, but aren't Snoop Dogg, Kid Rock and Trump all in the HoF? I'm all for recognizing Owen's work, but the HoF is a joke whose prestige is greatly diminished when one time performers (if they even did anything besides show up to the show) are held in the same regard as legends of the industry. Even worse when they made it in before them. If Owen's widow doesn't want them to make another dime off of his name, I am all for it.

She sued over the accident, then again over not being paid for Owen being featured in the Hart & Soul DVD in a timely manner. If it was over Owen being featured, she would have sued over the Hart of Gold DVD.

Ever since he retired from wrestling and became a backstage producer, Mark Henry has recently begun bad habits of arguing out of spite and complaining over nothing. First he insisted that Hulk Hogan apologize once again, long after he's already given one for his actions. Then he acted like a hypocrite when he called Martha Hart out in public, on TV no less.

I mean Mark Henry, show some respect for the people who were in the wrestling industry long before your time. Mark Henry complaining for nothing will only alienate him from Hogan and Martha. For Henry to insist that Hogan apologize again after he's already given one is only going to scare Hogan away from the WWE, and I think the backstage producer role has definitely gone to Mark Henry's head.

Those chain of actions prove Mark Henry isn't mature enough to qualify for legend status among the likes of The Undertaker and Triple H. Those two didn't complain for no reason. Triple H isn't letting his COO job get to his head, and he's trying his best to succeed as a Chief Operating Officer. Undertaker puts his company first and doesn't complain over every single small thing.

That's like telling Superman to apologize repeatedly over and over again for his heinous crimes until he's forgiven, and that's only going to make Superman look stubborn after his actions in the One Earth Regime. Same thing with Wonder Woman and Damian Wayne, making people apologize over and over again for nothing is only going to make Superman, Wonder Woman and Damian Wayne all even more stubborn and not want to be heroes anymore.

And that's like telling Harley Quinn to say sorry and apologize over and over again just for being in an abusive love relationship with Joker is all her fault. That will only drive Harley away from being a reformed hero and being a part of Batman's team no less.

Triple H isn't the COO in real life. In kayfabe, it has totally gone to his head because he's playing a heel character who routinely abuses his power just like all heel on-screen authority figures always do.

According to Bret's book, Martha hates wrestling. She only tolerated it because she loved Owen so much and her love for him was greater than her disinterest in what he did for a job/profession. 

If your spouse hates your profession and it's something your family members are heavily involved in, then of course the family is going to have problems with her. I can just imagine how many times they tried to get her into it but it just never clicked with her. Then she hears her husband died while doing a stupid stunt for something she hates. 

Now that hate is magnified and there's no changing her mind about the business at all. Factor in how sleazy the business was back when they were all young and the backstage BS she probably had to see was enough to make her never want to get involved.

Plus, Martha stated in her book that their kids had no interest in following wrestling and Owen didn't try to force the business on them at all. They just wanted to be a normal family and Owen wasn't as passionate about wrestling as Bret was. He treates it more like a job. At least, that's what she says. Sp factor all of this in and you can get why Martha and her side of the family didn't get along well with Owen's side of the family. When even the kids for God sakes, even the freaking kids, have ZERO interest in wrestling or going to see their Dad wrestle, of course the family isn't going to be as tight as it could be.
