Martha Hart Says She’s Not Backing Owen Hart Documentary

– As reported yesterday, Wrestling DVD News published a report stating that WWE was working on an Owen Hart documentary that would be hitting home video this year. While the article stated that Martha Hart was backing the project, they have retracted the statement and published a statement by Martha Hart which reads:

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. Contrary to your report, we do not back or support it in any way, nor has WWE requested our backing or support. 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.
