Owen Hart tragically passed away in 1999. Post his death, his wife Martha Hart distanced herself from WWE over the company’s alleged negligence when it came to Owen’s untimely passing. As a result, WWE could never truly honor Owen Hart.
With AEW announcing the tournament, it looks like the legendary performer will get his due. The winner of the tournament will win “The Owen” and the partnership will see Owen Hart in the upcoming AEW console game as well.
The full statement from AEW is as follows:
AEW made preperations for the Owen Hart Tournament in July
On July 28, 2021, AEW filed for a trademark with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) for the term “King of Harts.”
It was speculated at the time that the company probably had something in store with respect to honoring Owen Hart, especially with Chris Jericho saying the same in an interview almost exactly a year ago.
