Owen Hart (May 7, 1965 – May 23, 1999) was a member of the Hart wrestling family, he was born in Calgary, Alberta, the youngest of twelve children of Stampede Wrestling promoters Stu and Helen Hart. Owen was a two-time WWF Intercontinental Champion and a four-time WWF World Tag Team Champion (with Yokozuna x2, with The British Bulldog & with Jeff Jarrett). He mainly wrestled under his own name or the Blue Blazer gimmick.

In the fall of 1993, some friction started between Owen & his brother Bret. At the 1994 Royal Rumble in a match against the WWF Tag Team Champion Quebecers, Owen turned heel. After the match was stopped due to an "injury" Bret sustained, Owen kicked him & the two officially started an angle together. The two brothers faced off for the first time at WrestleMania X, where Owen cleanly pinned his older brother. Later in the evening, Bret won the WWF Championship against Yokozuna while Owen stood by and watched in anger and jealousy as Bret celebrated in the ring.

Owen and Bret feuded throughout the summer of 1994, clashing many times both in singles and later in tag team matches (with Bret joined by the returning British Bulldog). Two prominent matches took place in this feud: first, their steel cage match in the co-main event of SummerSlam for Bret's WWF Championship, which Bret won. This match later received a five-star rating from Dave Meltzer. The second was a lumberjack match on August 17 that Owen initially won and was announced as WWF Champion; Bret won the match after it was ordered to continue due to interference. At the Survivor Series, Owen struck the most damaging blow against his brother as he conned his own mother Helen to throw in the towel for Bret. The ploy cost Bret the WWF Championship to Bob Backlund. Owen also prevented Bret from regaining the WWF Championship at the Royal Rumble in 1995 when he interfered in the match between Bret and new champion Diesel. In the weeks after the Royal Rumble, Bret and Owen clashed again with Bret soundly defeating his brother, thus putting an end to their feud for the time being.

On May 23, 1999, Hart fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri, during the Over the Edge pay-per-view event. Hart was in the process of being lowered via harness and grapple line into the ring from the rafters of Kemper Arena for a booked Intercontinental Championship match against The Godfather. In keeping with the Blue Blazer's new "buffoonish superhero" character, he was to begin a dramatic entrance, being lowered to just above ring level, at which time he would act entangled, then release himself from the safety harness and fall flat on his face for comic effect—this necessitated the use of a quick release mechanism. It was an elaboration on a Blue Blazer stunt done previously on the Sunday Night Heat before Survivor Series in 1998. While being lowered into the ring, Hart fell 78 feet (24 m), landing chest-first on the top rope (approximately a foot from the nearest turnbuckle), throwing him into the ring.

A special episode of Raw Is War that aired on May 24, 1999, the night after Hart's death, was dubbed Raw Is Owen. Shawn Michaels notes that "Owen is the only guy you could have a two-hour show for, and no-one would say a bad word about him." The tribute show scored a 7.2 Nielsen rating, making it the highest-rated special episode in Raw history and the third highest-rated episode of Raw overall.

Four weeks after the event, the Hart family sued the WWF over how dangerous and poorly planned the stunt was, and alleging that the harness system was defective. After over a year and a half into the case, a settlement was reached on November 2, 2000, which saw the WWF pay the Hart family US$18 million.
