Nattie pays tribute to Owen Hart: ‘There was no one like him’
Nattie Neidhart paid tribute to her late uncle Owen Hart on his birthday.
Owen would have turned 61 years old today. Nattie posted a video to Instagram featuring her and TJ Wilson speaking about Owen along with clips from Owen’s career.
She captioned her post with:
“Happy birthday to the King of Harts, Owen Hart, on his birthday.
I love being able to celebrate what an incredible person Owen was. He was deeply loved, and the impact he had on people is something that still lives on every single day. Owen’s spirit continues to shine so brightly.
I hope you take a moment to watch this and remember Owen Hart today. 🖤👑”
Nattie says in the video:
“As the years pass, I never stopped thinking about Owen. I never stopped thinking about the person that he was, what he brought to this world, what he did, and how he contributed to professional wrestling.
But most of all, I never stopped thinking about what an amazing person he was to his family.”
Wilson spoke about Owen’s sense of humor and how members of the Hart family try to keep that part of him alive:
“We just kind of do our best to imitate Owen in our daily lives. And if at the end of the night, if you came pretty close to imitating Owen, you had a hell of a day.”
Nattie added that she wishes she could ask Owen about growing up as the youngest member of the Hart family and trying to find his own way in wrestling.
“It would be so cool to be asking Owen questions about in a family full of greats, you being the baby, how did you stand out? Like, I wish I could ask Owen those questions about how he tried to make it in wrestling, and like what it was like when he first stepped foot in the dungeon himself.”
Nattie closed by saying that she and Wilson feel it is important to help preserve Owen’s legacy with their work at the Dungeon 2.0.
“It’s really, really important, especially with the dungeon, for TJ and I to help also keep Owen’s legacy alive, because there was no one like him.”
