Owen Hart (Age: 34)
One of the most gifted wrestlers from the Hart Family, Owen potentially had a great career ahead of him. If it wasn’t for the WWE’s decision to make him slide down into the ring from an awkward height, Bret Hart might not have been the biggest name from the Hart Family.
Hart fell to his death from a height of 78ft while making his entrance in the Over The Edge pay-per-view of 1999. The show went on despite his death, and the company later gave a two-hour tribute to the late great, with the storyline paused for paying homage.
One of the greatest highlights of Hart’s career was the heel turn which he pulled off perfectly against his brother Bret; this lead to an epic match between the two at WrestleMania X which still reminds the fans of what they lost.
Hart was known as a great person rather than just a wrestler, which is quite an achievement in a business like professional wrestling.
