Before anyone says it... yes, Owen's widow, Martha, still has a difficult relationship with Vince McMahon and WWE, as a whole, and she's the one responsible for Owen going into the Hall or not. Because of that, fans may never get to see Owen get inducted, and although it's a shame, there's nothing any of us can do about it, no matter how many online petitions are created every year. Owen was one of the better workers in company history, able to seamlessly transition between technical, submission and high-flying styles. He was always over, and was able to connect with crowds all over the world, even without an overwhelming amount of the type of charisma wrestling fans were used to seeing. Like his brother, Bret, he wasn't over-the-top, but he didn't have to be. He simply got it done in the ring. With WWE mending fences with many names over the last few years, there is always hope for Martha Hart to join that list at some point, allowing Owen to be inducted at some point.
