Even after all these years, wrestling fans still have such a passionate love for Owen that every year that passes without his induction is a year of more disrespect and a year wasted for the Hart Family.
Recently, there has been some traction about The Hart Foundation being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. However, WWE will be honoring The Fabulous Freebirds, who are also deserving of induction.
It was revealed on Smith Hart’s Facebook account that he had a discussion with WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart and is confirming that the Hart Foundation nor Owen Hart will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.
Smith Hart posted the following on his Facebook page:
I just got off the phone with my brother Bret, who called to wish me well. In talking to Bret, I can confirm that WWE will NOT be inducting Owen, Davey, Blue Blazer or even as Bret and I suggested, of inducting the entire Hart Foundation as a unit this year in Dallas for their fictional Hall of Fame. This once again proves that WWE’s Hall of Fame is nothing more than profiteering, grandstanding and political BS.
It’s a shame, not only for the fans that still fill my inbox annually holding hope, but also for WWE as the task of filling 100,000 plus into Jerry’s world seems near impossible with their vastly depleted roster and horrible creative direction.
A Hart Foundation induction on its own would not fill the stadium, but I’m sure would help more than the proposed inductions of The Godfather, Jacqueline or JBL (with all due respect). The reason given for the lack of an Owen induction is still our former Sister in law, Martha who still holds a grudge as if the tragedy happened days ago. Personally, I wouldn’t blame Bret or anyone in my family if they boycotted this year’s show.
