OWEN HART LEAVES THE WORLD WRESTILNG FEDERATION
Making his WWF debut in 1990, he spent nearly a decade as one of the top superstars in the World Wrestling Federation. After his brother Bret left the World Wrestling Federation in 1997, Owen made it clear once his contract is up he will not re-sign with the company and join his brother Bret in World Championship Wrestling. After one last WWF Intercontinental Championship reign and losing it to his former partner Jeff Jarrett, Owen said his goodbyes and left the WWF. He went on to win the WCW United States Championship multiple times and even win the WCW Championship in 2000. He then went back to Japan and became IWGP Heavyweight Champion in 2002 before retiring in 2006 to spend time with his family.
We love you Owen.

VINCE MCMAHON TAKES ON THE UNDERTAKER
After months of torment from the Undertaker to the McMahon family, Vince McMahon had enough. He issued a challenge to the Undertaker for a fight, a No Disqualification match. the Undertaker and manager Paul Bearer came out to accept the challenge. Undertaker immediately started throwing punches at McMahon before Shane McMahon came down and took out Paul Bearer with a chair. This distracted the Undertaker allowing Vince to hit a low blow and a chair shot to the Deadman. Vince went for the cover but the lights went out, when they came back on both the Undertaker and Paul Bearer were gone. Both Vince and Shane stood in the middle of the ring not knowing what happened but knew they almost had the better of the Undertaker.
Pictured above: Playing some mind games of his own, Vince McMahon disguised as a droid issued a challenge to the Undertaker. Vince told Undertaker that you're opponent for tonight is ME! UNDERTAKER ITS GOING TO BE ME!! |
