Man, those pictures are hard to look at. Especially the AP photos of him on the stretcher and how his arm is just laying there lifeless.
My uncle does lighting for arenas in the southern United States and I would help him each Summer when I was in high school to make some money for the summer. In 2003, he was doing lights for a concert at Kemper Arena. It was one of the scariest feelings of my life going up to help him. I was up on a catwalk with him(dont know if its the same one or not) and I just went over to another side of it and cried. Looking down and having all the images running through my head, it is probably the worst feeling I have ever had in my life.

He's not a wrestling fan, but when we were on the way to the arena I told him about it and he remembered hearing about it(mostly from me at the time it happened probably.)

I dont think I could look at those pictures. I was thinking about Owen's death the other day and it still brings me to tears. I was also on the Hitman's official website, where he has lots of his columns that he's written for the Calgary Sun, including this one written after Owen's death. www.brethart.com/column/may31.aspThat was a very moving piece and very honest, but nothing broke me down like this one about Davey Boy after he died. www.brethart.com/column/may24.asp He had me sobbing my guts out after reading the first six words. "Another dead brother. I’m so angry. Yet I’m more sad than anything else." You just cant imagine loss like that. You just had to put that on here to kick me in the junk a little more didn't you? When you really stop and think about it....wow...just horrible.

That's the first I heard about Owen telling the ref to get out of the way. I ordered this PPV and I remember it very well. I think the Godfather was being interviewed when it happen and you could hear the crowd react to something. Then after the interview they tried to play it off by panning the camera around the crowd, but the silence made it obvious something was really wrong. Then when JR made the announcement later in the show I was just in shock.

I can remember watching the PPV and it didn't really all kick in till the next morning where on 102.5 Clyde 1 Radio, who never cover anything wrestling related had Owen Hart's death as one of their main news headlines. It was at that moment on my way to school that it all just sank in.
