F.A.Q - & -
F.Y.I
Frequently asked questions
and things just for your information.
1. Do you promote the
site in any way?
I do not advertise this page and do not post it anywhere.
If you have found it in a forum, found it on a search
engine, or it has been emailed to you it is because someone
else has chosen to do so. I originally created this page
for myself and my close friends to share the experience
with them. Over time, others have found it and have now
shared it with you. I do not mind if people choose to post
the link to this page. I do not actively seek to promote it
in any way. I have it here merely as a record of events for
people to learn from and to provide a resource for
materials about the event that has been lacking in the
past.
2.
Is there a video of the fall?
There is no video of this happening. I REPEAT, there is no
video! WWE might have
one although none of their cameras appeared focused to the
area of the fall when it happened. Anyone that tells you
they have seen a video is lying to you. There is no video
on KazAa or anywhere else and not a single person has ever
been able to provide with me with evidence to disprove me.
If I ever saw it I would be the first to tell you it
existed. No, it is highly
unlikely someone had a digital camera that could record
video and have used it. For one thing, in 1999 those types of
cameras were still extremely rare. Also, Owen fell in just
a few short seconds. It would be nearly impossible to set
your camera up fast enough to make a recording and get it
focused on the correct area, especially with most people's
attention directed toward the Titan Tron to watch the
vignette being presented. So I say again, there
is no video.
It is not shown on the PPV. I have this PPV on tape. I have
the live broadcast of it. The PPV was shown once more as a
repeat again that night. It was never shown again and no
official release of the PPV on VHS or DVD was ever allowed
out.
I know, I know... you found some video that is labeled as
Owen Hart Fall or something similar. It is not a video of
the fall. You are looking at one of two things most likely.
The first is a video of Sid Vicious landing in the ring and
breaking his leg. The second one, the one that seems to confuse most
people is a video of an XPW match between New Jack and
Vic Grimes. They are standing on a scaffold about 20
feet high and New Jack tosses Grimes onto some tables in
the ring. Grimes skids across them and bounces on the
ropes. Grimes was not seriously injured in this stunt.
3. I
heard Vince wanted to kill Owen, is that
true?
It was not a plot by Vince McMahon to kill Owen. I know
that sounds crazy, but I have actually heard this theory
put out there. It was an equipment problem. The release
mechanism that allows you to get out of the harness had a
light trigger on it. Some say it had a lighter touch than
the trigger on a handgun. This trigger was set off somehow
and that is why Owen fell.
4. In one picture there
is a white circle. Is that you highlighting where owen is
falling?
In none of the pictures will you see Owen falling. One
person asked if a bright spot was my attempt to highlight
him as he fell. It was merely a light refraction into my
camera lens.
