Although some outlets are reporting that Martha Hart, widow of Owen Hart, is supportive of WWE’s new DVD and Blu-ray set on the late WWE Superstar, that does not appear to be the case.
Hart apparently just found out about the project on Thursday, and is completely opposed to it.
In responding to a report on the Wrestling DVD News website, Martha Hart offered her take on the situation.
“My children and I were unaware of this project until May 7, when it was brought to our attention by a friend who had read about it online,” said the widow Hart. “Contrary to your report, we do not back or support it in anyway, nor has WWE requested our backing or support.”
Hart continued, “From what little we know of the project, it seems to be another attempt to exploit Owen’s memory, and his tragic death, for commercial gain. We have resisted that kind of initiative for almost 16 years. If WWE really wanted to honor Owen’s legacy it would just let him rest in peace.”
