Dammit. Csonka was a great writer and the one reason 411 was worth going to.

Also that's awful for Shad. I heard his son was in that incident too but was thankfully rescued.

I read that Shad passed his kid to lifeguards or got his kid safe first, before the tide pulled him away, they went back and couldn't find him.

Now I hear they've given up the search. Not looking good for Shad, but dude saved his kids life.

Yeah, at this point he probably didn't make it sadly. Sure stranger things have happened, shows like "I Shouldn't Be Alive" exist for a reason, but it's pretty unlikely.

Just wish the best for his family, and just maybe there's a miracle.

Profiting off an ex-employee is par for the course for WWE shenanigans. The question is whether they will spin it to make it seem like they are extending an olive branch to him by "Allowing him to compete for the love of it." or some bullshit.

I mean, this is the same company trying to frame Edge and Randy Orton as "THE GREATEST WRESTLING MATCH EVER!" I'm starting to think the denizens of South Park sniffing their own farts have better common sense than WWE at this point.

Sort of. It's very exaggerated. There's members of the Hart Family who want Martha to just let Owen be honored on TV, but she refuses because they refuse to take accountability for what happened even though it's entirely Vince's fault and buried her in lawsuits and all they care about it making more money off of a man they killed because Vince McMahon had some fucking crazy idea and wanted to save 1.5 seconds on a stupid stunt. Half of the family was actively working for WWE and certain members gave them information about what steps her and her lawyer were taking.

But didn't she say Vince did apologize and she forgives him? I thought the quote was "I forgive him but I have no intention of befriending him" or something? And they ultimately settled for like $18 million or something?

You can forgive someone for something while still thinking they're a piece of shit. Vince apologized for what happened, said he felt responsible, but never once said it was his fault.

They settled for $18 million after forcing her to spend millions on a lawsuit with frivolous charges and trying to sue to get it moved to Connecticut. Big companies like WWE will force you to spend enough by muddying the waters and doing frivolous stuff until you concede and settle. That's what happened here. Martha explained that she only settled after her lawyer told her that in the end, the only justice she'll get is money. It was then that she decided to just settle before she lost even more money and it risked going to Connecticut (fat chance) where WWE would have the advantage.

You're allowed to play semantics when your husband is dead and the company that was overtly negligent refuses to admit fault. Especially when that company has said it's a freak accident and refused to accept blame for it.

Vince said he wanted Owen to descend slightly faster for TV. The guy they usually get to do stunts like this said it wasn't possible to do safely. So Vince kicked him to the curb, talked to a bunch of other people who said it wasn't possible to do safely, and then got a guy who claimed to have set up Sting's rigging who said he could do it and didn't verify that at all, and he used faulty rigging. All because Vince wanted to save a couple seconds.

And Vince says "I feel responsible for his death since I was in charge." Instead of "It's my fault because I was negligent and didn't give a shit about his safety." There's a distinction there in that he was saying this at a mediation, with legal counsel sitting beside him saying "Whatever you do don't say it was your fucking fault." Because they get coached in this. So he says "I feel responsible" because it's not an admission of fault.

This would be the injury Nia Jax caused, FYI. Which means she'll probably be rewarded with the title soon.

No, it's the achilles injury she got during a 24-7 title chase segment from stopping abruptly from a full run.

Man that's a hat trick in one day of shitty things Vince/WWE has done. Blatant fucking fraud on every level, but I won't be surprised if he gets away with it.

Anyway, here's the Dark Side of the Ring about Owen Hart's death. It's very eye-opening and impossible to walk away from it not siding with Martha Hart and her decision to not allow him in the Hall of Fame.
