WWE 2K16: 15 Legends Who Could Be The Flagship Star
14. Owen Hart
This May would have seen the legendary Owen Harts fiftieth birthday. The Hitmans younger brother was one of the most popular wrestlers in the WWF, with fans and backstage with the boys, before his untimely and tragic death in an horrific accident at the Over The Edge pay-per-view in 1999. Ever since then, the WWF/E have been caught up in red tape and legal wrangling over the incident. Although the lawsuit filed by Harts grieving widow was settled fairly swiftly, theres a lot of bad blood in that open wound and many still blame the company for persuading him to take part in the stunt that cost him his life, as well as for deciding that the show had to continue that night after Harts death. Regardless, Owen Hart is one of the few revered WWF performers of that era not to receive a Hall Of Fame nod. Lets not forget that they had great things planned for him: the nickname The Game was originally planned for Owen, Triple H taking it on in tribute to his colleague after he passed away. The time is long past due for that to take place, and a Hart family feature on WWE 2K16 would be a perfect preface to that induction. Imagine being able to pre-order the game and unlock both classic Owen Hart and the Blue Blazer, his superhero alter ego of course, theyd have to make sure to have him enter from the stage, just as a matter of good taste.
