We were at the show in KC when Owen Hart fell, I pretty much stopped watching after that. But I'd love to see some of the older matches. With Flair and Hogan that was just a good time.

That was a tragic night. Did they ever announce to the live audience that he died, or did you find out later?

There's tons of old stuff on the network: all WWF, WCW, and ECW ppvs, classic WCCW shows, classic WWF shows dating back to the late 70s, and a lot of documentaries and round table discussions.

They never did announce anything to us. We thought at first it was just part of the show, but then we noticed the 'real' paramedics were there and the big screens had changed from the live video to something else (we couldn't hear). I don't remember when we actually found out that he had died, but I'm pretty sure it was after the show.

I know Owen would have wanted the show to go on, but there's still something that doesn't sit right with the way they handled that situation.
