18 WWE Attitude Era Midcarders That Deserve Hall Of Fame

6. Owen Hart

There is no argument against Owen Hart. His accomplishments, his career...they speak for themselves. His tragic death in 1999 only immortalized him as one of the greatest wrestlers of his generation, his work never really diminishing. He was forever extraordinary. A recent WWE Home Video release documented how much he meant to the wrestlers he shared the locker room with, and the fans who enjoyed his work. During the Attitude Era, Hart was a bit of an anomaly. He was not the flashy, edgy characters that would drive programming. He was a wrestler, a fish out of water as the company's policies on adult-themed television changed. He never betrayed himself or his morals, remaining true to himself and his family.

His feud with Ken Shamrock, arguably his best during that era, was a throwback that allowed the Black Heart to do what he did better than just about anyone: wrestle. He would become a premiere tag team wrestler, partnering with Jeff Jarrett to form an old school heel tag team. From there, he donned the mask of The Blue Blazer, a gimmick he had revisited at the time of his death. Owen's legacy remains at the mercy of wife Martha, who has been incredibly reluctant to allow her husband's images to be used by WWE.

Some had hoped the release of the Owen: Hart of Gold DVD would lead to the enshrinement of the beloved Superstar. With that appearing not to be the case, only time will tell when, or if, the baby of the Hart family will one day come home to WWE, his many accomplishments celebrated in the grandest way imaginable.
