Making the wrestlers perform a show after watching their friend fall to his death is messed up...

Albert died for his craft and almost nothing of his career has survived 💔

The harness didn't malfunction, they wanted him to be able to unhook quickly so they attached him using a hook that wasn't made for humans. The WWE are completely at fault for it, they had a professional tell them that the latch was not safe and they ignored it. May Owen rest in peace, such a devistating story.

Mr. Sinister guy. I believe I can speak for at least most of us when I say I find your videos very informative. I would never consider you exploiting anyone. You are just giving facts and we appreciate that.

For the record, it's believed Owen was doing the Blue Blazer character as punishment for refusing to commit to a storyline that would involve infidelity.

personally i think the way you narrate, don't show the actual footage (if available), and give respect to those who died and were affected is not profiting. these kinds of videos are special in the way that you're not profiting for money, you're taking the time to give proper respect to the dead and affected. thank you!

witnessing a death in front of me would've gave me nightmares but making sit through a whole show after witnessing a death would have me TRAUMATIZE

Whenever I hear people talk about how wholesome TV and movies used to be versus today, I think about how early filmmakers were 100% cool with showing actors die (this video's example is far from the only one) and that crowds used to show up at executions to make a day of it.

Since what you do is basically journalism, the motivation is entirely different. People need things like this reported on, so don't feel guilty.

I heard the date at 15:54 and my heart sank. Owen didn't deserve that at all, and it makes me sad that so many people reduce him & his career to his preventable death.

I think the way you come across in these videos highlights the victims rather than just sensationalises the disturbing factors, it was still nice to hear your thoughts on profiting from tragedy at the end though.

21:40 i personally think you do a great and fantastic job of being respectful of the victims and their loved ones in your videos, and i think all of your viewers greatly appreciate it (at least i do!) your videos feel more like spreading awareness and remembering people in life and in death than needlessly sensationalizing tragedy

Everything about Owen's death is tragic, and the way this has been cut to include his "family man" promo really emphasizes that. The story I've always heard is that Owen was eyeing retirement and wanted that to be his last run (famous words in a business where no one really ever retires). The reasons behind him being saddled with the Blue Blazer for that arc run deep and become a question of who you trust. It's just an awful, awful outcome.

the late Owen Hart's tragedy at Over the Edge 1999 still hits me in the heart even today, since i'm the diehard fan of the Hart Foundation... during their live segment on RAW, i was crying non-stop and i was 16 years old on that time... even the commentators and the wrestlers were broken heart on his passing. R.I.P. Owen Hart.

That cat on the couch @ 4:20 looks like an Orange/Vanilla Ice-Cream-Cicle! :cat-orange-whistling:🍦🧊

I have a Polaroid with Owen and he signed it as well. One of the nicest wrestlers i met

Albert's story is heartbreaking and upsetting. The complete indifference and not wanting to save his life by all people, and then trying to callously profit off his death is just disgusting. Those people are examples of what's wrong with humanity.
