owen had top class matches, won titles and gave great interview's of course he shuld be inducted, also considering people like nikolai volkoff being inducted and i cant think what he migt have done. owen was important to wwf 94-99 and i believe if the accident didnt happen he would've had some top of the card action again. I also think davey boy smith should be inducted!

Aside from one GREAT PPV at Summerslam 92, his singles career wasn't that remarkable.

Considering that Tito frigging Santana is in the Hall of Fame, Owen certainly deserves to be in.

If the HOF was what the HOF should be and not just a place that any midcarder that wrestled in the 80s gets into, then it wouldnt be all that easy to decide. But in the HOF that we got now? No doubt he should...

I don't think so. I know there's that element of "what could have been", but I personally think Owen hit his peak around 1997-98, and I don't think he would have been in any world title contention afterwards. Certainly a great wrestler and man, but I don't think he is quite deserving of it, and I doubt it will ever happen.
Although I think the HOF is a joke, and the discussions and debates about inducting someone are kinda pointless, I always use this as a gauge to find out if someone would be worthy. Just think of those intro bumpers that tell about the inductees and put the prospective candidate in that place. I just don't see how they could make one about Owen like that.

Should he? Yes. Should WWE induct him against his widow's wishes? No.

If the HOF had standards for admissions (I don't know what) other than saying yes when asked then, I say no. I never found him entertain or good.
Now this HOF where anyone could get in? Yes why not?
Will he get in? Never. Martha hates anything and everything Hart and wrestling.

Considering that Tito frigging Santana is in the Hall of Fame, Owen certainly deserves to be in. All right, now why do you have to hate on Tito? The guy was a pretty major player in the company for well over a decade. He had two lengthy runs with the World Tag Title, and two fairly lengthy runs with the I-C Title - at a time when both of those championships still meant something. He had classic matches and feuds with Greg Valentine, Don Muraco, Rick Martel, and Randy Savage, and even had a brief house show main event run against the Iron Sheik during the Shiek's three-week reign. If you're judging him solely on his jobber-to-the-stars run as El Matador, then you really need to check out his late 70s/ early 80s stuff. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, he also had two lengthy main event runs against Nick Bockwinkel in the AWA - at a time when that promotion still meant something. [/rant] And I agree, Owen should be in the Hall of Fame.

Can't say since I haven't seen much of his stuff. I odn't know why not though. If they can put guys like SD Jones and Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame, then I don't know why Owen can't be in it.

If Bob Orton could be in the Hall of Fame, I don't see why Owen Hart can't be in there. Yes, but he was in the mania 1 main event, owen was never the main event except with bret at summerslam. I think he was a great mid carder, but not hall of fame and this is coming from an owen fan.

That could've been anyone there, I even heard that it was to be Dr.D David Schultz in there before his little spat with 20/20's correspondent John Stossel. Hell, Nikolai Volkoff was in the HOF as well and he didn't do all that much either, so if he could I don't see why Owen can't, a multiple time champion and KOTR winner.

Actually Volkoff had alot of main event matches with Bruno in the late 70's

Why is it that only Main Eventers should be in the HOF?? I disagree with this stance, because I believe that the mid and lower cards are still important and should be recognized as such. It's opinions like this that drive the midcard titles down in value. I believe Owen is HOF worthy due to his contributions to the midcard and the tag team divisions. The man, IMO, made King of the Ring mean something special for a long while, also.

I think he can go in someday, but there is alot more people that deserve it way before he gets in. but the hall is meant to be special too and pretty much if you let every mid carder in it won't be as special.

It makes no sense to induct guys based on their win-loss record or how many championships they won. Since they didn't actually "win" anything.
It should be based on what they contributed and meant to the business in general. In which case, Owen is more than qualified.

I also think davey boy smith should be inducted! You're only thinking of the late 80s/early 90s version of him, where he was a shell of his former self and put new guys over. He was a major heel back in the 1970s. I don't know the details of it, but trust me on this.
