Kilborn made a tasteless joke of my hero when he died. He'll never be forgiven 🙁 🙁

No, Owen Hart.
There would come an incident that would further change his views on the WWF, and wrestling in general. On May 23, 1999, the WWF held their ?Over the Edge? Pay-Per-View event before a sold-out crowd of 16,200 in Kansas City, Missouri. Bret?s brother Owen Hart would perform that night, and perform one of the most magnificent stunts ever seen.
Like an NBA mascot, Owen would sail from over hundred feet in the air down a rope attached to a nylon harness downward to the ring, with a braking device slowing his fall. Owen had performed it earlier in the day and it went smoothly. However, this time, his harness disconnected from the rope, freefalling him some seventy feet toward the mat. He then hit the ring post chest first, and lied straight down while absorbing in the final cheers of his life.
Owen was dead. Paramedics rushed to the scene, but it was too late, Owen?s death was quick and almost painfree. A wrongful death lawsuit was soon passed by Owen?s widow Martha Hart, and was settled by the WWF for $18 million. It would tear apart the family due to the nature of the situation. And in the end, Bret had lost his favorite brother and best friend; and the company that he gave his life to only for them to betray him, was held responsible for it.
