His daughter basically sees wrestling as the devil. Martha is a doctor and Oje is a human rights lawyer. Got the feeling they really look down upon their families pro wrestling legacy, even though they are Harts. Whole Hart family fell apart. In comparison: David Benoit is probably standing in his fathers tights right now as I type this and rewatching and enjoying WrestleMania with a big grin on his face. What an utterly stupid post this is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB6937 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Bret's been a confusing one since Montreal. He flips and flops all over the place, depending on what he's looking to get out of someone/something. I can't imagine he's been easy for Martha to deal with at all.

LWOLeN Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Bret Hart issued the below statement via his official Facebook page regarding his brother Owen’s absence from the WWE Hall of Fame and his side of the story when it comes to his differences with Owen’s wife Martha. This past week, I have received multiple requests for comment regarding my recent interview on a podcast and the rebuttal made by Dr. Martha Hart. First of all, I want to express my disappointment in both the Calgary Sun and Calgary Herald for running a gossip-style article and making it front page news when there are more pressing issues in the world to highlight. You are better than that. I listened back to the interview in question and I specifically want to address Martha’s comments about my words being “cruel, reckless, irresponsible, and hurtful”. Stampede Wrestling was an institution in the city of Calgary. Wrestling was our family business. My brothers and I either wrestled for my father Stu or worked behind the scenes. Fans packed the Victoria Pavilion every Friday night for decades. Martha has seemed to have forgotten that she attended those same shows before she met Owen. She was, by definition, a wrestling fan. That same group Martha appears to look down upon and ignore. Earlier this year, Mark Henry took time during his WWE Hall of Fame induction to specifically address Martha. With tears in his eyes, Henry pleaded with her to allow Owen to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. My nieces and nephews were in the audience with tears in their eyes as he expressed how much he deserved to be there with his peers. Fans have told me they had tears in their eyes when they watched the moment on television. Those same fans Martha sat side-by-side with at Stampede Wrestling and WWE events. Those same fans that donate to the Owen Hart Foundation and helped make it what it is today because they remember the joy he brought to their lives and not by how he died. Those royalty checks she receives from the company she says she doesn’t want any part of? Those are also from those same fans. To her, their tears do not matter. To me, that is cruel and hurtful. It is true that Martha and I were close at one time. I was right by her side after Owen’s death until she received her settlement from WWE and proclaimed me a “pest”. Martha later declared herself and her children Harts in name only, called us all “black sheep”, and ceased contact with the rest of the Hart family. She further isolated from us when we all came together in 2010 to honour our father Stu being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and participated in a DVD that celebrated our family (Hart & Soul). Owen’s children do not have a relationship with his brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, and cousins. One of my nieces, in fact, named her son Owen after him. I do not know Oje and I wouldn’t know Athena if she walked passed me on the street. Owen’s children only know of their father’s family by what is told by their mother, whatever that may be, painting us all with one broad brush. To block Owen’s children from knowing their father’s family, to me, is cruel, reckless, and irresponsible. Owen’s tragic accident almost 20 years ago changed our family forever. Martha lost her soulmate and her children lost their father. You have to remember, however, that I also lost my brother. My children lost their uncle. My grandchildren will only know him through pictures and stories. His peers lost a close friend who filled them with endless laughter through long periods on the road. The fans lost someone that they lovingly connected to. Martha is not alone in her loss and grief. The Owen Hart Foundation is a wonderful charity that has raised millions of dollars and has helped many people in its 19 year history. I am not disputing or denying that whatsoever. I disagree, however, that it should be the sole outlet to remember Owen by. This is not just about Owen being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. This is about his wrestling career, his wrestling legacy, his contribution to the business that he loved and honouring that contribution. Owen Hart was a world-renowned professional wrester, and a damn good one. He was part of the foundation that our family name was built on not just in the city of Calgary but all over the world. For Martha to want to rewrite history, to refuse to acknowledge or recognize his great wrestling career, to brush off what he, myself, and my father did as “that fake stuff” is wrong. Owen Hart was a wrestler. The next generation deserve to know how great he truly was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not looking it up as I don't want to ruin the illusion. I know it wasn't the point of the episode (which was a tough watch, and all this "But we all knew this stuff 20 years ago" is absolute bollocks I'm afraid) but fucking hell I loved Owen. He was incredible, and could do it all. His arms aloft, high pitched, Canadian sounding "Yaaaaaaaah" makes me smile every time. Bless him and his family.

UK Kat Von D Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 @LWOLeN what is it you are trying to achieve by posting this? Are you trying to prove that different people have different thoughts on how to grieve? All you have to do is watch the scene of Martha holding that tiny hook and it should be fair enough if she thinks WWE should get fucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlewis Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 It’s mad the priorities some people have. I’m in no position to psychoanalyse Bret but I wonder how much of that is him regretting going back to Vince and jumping through mental hoops to feel justified? None of what Martha is doing weakens her husbands legacy, it strengthens it a hundred fold. And I don’t see why she would want her kids, who, lest we forget contain a human rights lawyer rather than, say, Teddy Hart, around those people.

Not to mention, they aren’t children anymore. They are adults now. If they wanted to speak to the rest of the family, I’m sure they could if they made the slightest effort. Probably would rather stand by their Mother who had to seek justice for their Father alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
