20 Greatest Wrestling Documentaries Ever
7. Owen: Hart Of Gold (2015)
It's incredible to think that Owen Hart still hasn't been inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. One of the most requested entrants for years, the youngest Hart brother's tragic demise in May 1999 is the main reason preventing WWE from honouring him at their annual ceremony.
Thankfully, they were still able to pay tribute to Owen by releasing a DVD set chronicling his life and in-ring career. When Hart Of Gold was released in 2015, it was long overdue, but that doesn't mean it's any less essential. Owen's brother Bret has come to peace with WWE in the years since his death, so the timing was perhaps perfect anyway.
Hart Of Gold doesn't spend a great deal of time analysing the ins and outs of Owen's passing at the Over The Edge 1999 pay-per-view. Those looking for that will leave disappointed, but it's also great that WWE seem determined to avoid presenting that as Hart's lasting legacy.
This is a relatively happy release, one full of people who genuinely loved Owen displaying that affection and sharing stories and reminiscing. After all the tears of sadness, it's nice to see tears of joy.
