10 Things We Learned From Owen Hart’s Final Day: A POST Profile
5. Man In The Middle
Arguably the strongest talking head from this rock solid presentation, former referee Jimmy Korderas' contributions to the documentary are manifold and magnificent.
Recalling in evidently painful detail his heartfelt memories from the show - including the exact moment he felt a sensation brushing against the side of his head that was strong enough for him to sustain a minor hand injury from the rattled ropes as Owen fell to his death behind him - Korderas' devastated reflections are miraculously coated with an inner strength that allowed him to try and grieve properly alongside his "wrestling family" hurting from the unthinkable loss.
A convivial and vital voice on the piece, the Sportsnet broadcaster provided further fascinating insight on the hours and days immediately following Over The Edge, including a rare glimpse into Vince McMahon's own mourning and how he attempted to reconcile everything about the accident in the aftermath.
Korderas noted how he still can't recall how he made the 270 mile journey from the pay-per-view to the following evening's Raw tribute event, and that he hasn't ever watched the shows back despite holding on to tapes as many understandably would.
In summarising the story, he pointed out how projects such as the documentary have helped the healing. That said healing remains ongoing, 20 years later, suggests just how difficult that's been.
