By far the most emotional moment of the night came when Mark Henry spoke of Owen Hart, and unexpectedly asked the cameraman to zoom in on his face as he addressed Hart's widow Martha.

Henry, with tears running down his face, said, "This is not from the company, this is not from other wrestlers, this is from his other brother. He needs to be here."

It was a tremendously heartfelt, raw moment that made an effortless case for Hart's induction without demonising his widow, especially given her understandable desire not to allow WWE to profit from her husband's death.

If she can find it in her heart to do it for the fans and for his legacy, though, it would be one hell of a gesture. Henry's eloquence and honest emotion ensured this was without question one of the greatest moments in WWE Hall of Fame history.
