Wow, that was tough to get through.  They're all scary/sad, especially the last 4 or 5. And maybe the first few that indicates how large of a distance he fell. Well, all of 'em all. |

The pic that shows the whole arena and the distance he fell is pretty brutal.

Wow. And to think that 20 minutes ago I was in a thread about how John Stossel said wrestling was phony. After spending the last 20 minutes re-living one of the few things in this world that have brought me to tears, I'd beg to differ.

The thing that really hurts about this whole tragedy is that he was 34 years old when he died. That's only 4 years older than me. Scary, sad stuff.

still is the biggest tragedy in the history. His death still bothers me, while Eddie Guerrero's never really has as it was brought on upon by years of drug use.

I'll admit right now that I cried reading some of that. I choked up a little at the last picture. Really scary when you actually see just how high Owen fell. |

It's one of those things I've never truly wrapped my head around. I mean, obviously, I know Owen died during a show, but to actually imagine it happening...my head just never registered it that clearly.
Actually seeing those shots, and how clearly they illustrate what he had to have experienced, it's hard to take, hard to imagine.
Owen's death is one of those things that just makes me feel bitter about the industry sometimes. So senseless, so unnecessary.

These pictures now give me an even bigger fear of heights (I admit it. I am afraid of heights myself)

Those are hard to look at..Espically the ones of him laying in the ring. It says something about Owen trying to tell the referee to get out of the way so he wouldn't get hurt.
