Martha Hart Issues Statement About WWE Working On An Owen Hart DVD

It was reported yesterday by WrestlingDVDNews.com that an upcoming Owen Hart DVD/Blu-Ray project from WWE had the backing and support of Owen’s widow Martha and his family. Martha responded to reports with the following statement:

“My children and I were unaware of this project until May 7, when it was brought to our attention by a friend who had read about it online. Contrary to your report, we do not back or support it in any way, nor has WWE requested our backing or support. From what little we know of the project, it seems to be another attempt to exploit Owen’s memory, and his tragic death, for commercial gain. We have resisted that kind of initiative for almost 16 years. If WWE really wanted to honor Owen’s legacy, it would just let him rest in peace.”

WrestlingDVDNews.com has since apologized and retracted their original report.
