Bret Hart Frustrated With Owen Hart's HOF Exclusion

Bret Hart relayed his frustration with late brother Owen Hart's exclusion from the WWE Hall of Fame in a recent interview with 660News, a Calgary-based radio station.

“You know, it’s time to remember what he was. He was a great wrestler, and WWE fans around the world remember Owen, everyday. And, they ask me, everyday. It’s kind of childish,” said Hart.

Hart noted to the radio station that he's considering writing a book chronicling the life of Owen, who died on May 23, 1999 at a WWE pay-per-view event when an equipment malfunction occurred during his entrance from the rafters of Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Missouri.

We reported last November that some WWE employees were lobbying for Hart to be enshrined at this year's Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, which took place on April 6 at Madison Square Garden. The enshrinement did not materialize, and may not ever because his widow, Martha Hart, would not allow it, according to brother Smith Hart.

"Because she blames the wrestling business in its entirety for his death," he revealed in a Twitter post last year. "She is the sole owner of his estate. With Martha, there will never B a way, perhaps his kids may eventually make the choice. But that's at least 20 yrs in future."

In April, Martha reached a a settlement with WWE in her lawsuit over royalties and the use of her husband's image. Terms, however, were not disclosed.
