— As reported before, WWE is going ahead with an Owen Hart DVD despite not getting any support whatsoever from his widow, Martha, or his kids. The feeling was that WWE likely thought that because Martha has completely disassociated herself from wrestling and doesn’t follow anything WWE does, she wouldn’t find out and they would avoid any potential headaches. However, while WWE has full rights to release the footage, Martha would be the one to get any royalties.
— There is also talk of inducting Owen Hart into the WWE Hall of Fame next year, but again, that would be a tough sell if Martha is not supporting it. They could still go ahead and induct him anyway, but may not feel it’s worth the trouble or the likely controversy.
