Wrestling INC noted earlier this week that WWE is planning an Owen Hart DVD and Blu-ray, and that it had the support of Owen’s widow Martha Hart. That is incorrect as Martha issued the following statement today to WrestlingDVDNews.com:
“My children and I were unaware of this project until May 7, when it was brought to our attention by a friend who had read about it online. Contrary to your report, we do not back or support it in any way, nor has WWE requested our backing or support. From what little we know of the project, it seems to be another attempt to exploit Owen’s memory, and his tragic death, for commercial gain. We have resisted that kind of initiative for almost 16 years. If WWE really wanted to honor Owen’s legacy, it would just let him rest in peace.”
