10 Things We Learned From Martha Hart On Talk Is Jericho
The love of Owen Hart's life tells all...
Martha Hart heads up The Owen Hart Foundation, and she aims to pay tribute to her fallen husband's kind nature and generosity by helping others. That organisation has helped Martha deal with the emotional strain of losing Owen, raising the couple's children on her own and fighting WWE in lengthy, bitter legal battles for over 20 years.
Chris Jericho didn't really want to talk about the negatives on his 'Talk Is Jericho' podcast. He fancied exploring what Owen was actually like away from the ring, and finding out where Martha stands with the pro wrestling business today. Does she hate it generally, or does most of her coldness towards the industry exclusively focus on WWE?
The result was a fascinating ride through Owen's life, told by the woman who knew him best.
Think of this as a precursor to VICE's 'Dark Side Of The Ring' season finale. That'll deal more with the grisly end to Owen's life and the drama that followed. This interview was cheerier - credit to Jericho for refusing to ask the same old questions and for encouraging Martha to remember her man fondly.
