13 Wrestlers Who Died In The Ring
9. Owen Hart
Owen Hart’s accidental death is, after Chris Benoit, the most infamous death in professional wrestling in the West. The youngest son of Stu Hart, Owen was the most naturally gifted of all the male Hart brothers, all of whom became wrestlers. Trained by his family, he debuted for Stampede Wrestling as a teenager in 1983. He also made several trips to the UK, as Stampede had close links with Joint Promotions, with wrestlers from one promotion frequently touring the other. Owen made two appearances on British television, one as an 18 year old in an international tag team tournament, where he tagged with brother Ross, and the second in 1987 as a much more mature wrestler in an all-time British classic against Marty Jones, challenging for Jones’s World Mid-Heavyweight Championship.
