Bobby Talbert's role in Owen Hart's death
I started wondering how culpable he was after reading this in light of the Dark Side of the Ring episode:

That was brutal to watch. The fact that Bobby Talbert, wasn't hauled off to jail, or McMahon still boggles the mind. The fact that the show was continued is disgusting. Seriously, fuck WWE.

Bobby Talbert, the guy that did Owen Hart's rigging at OTE 1999, explained what went wrong that night....

To clarify, WWE went with a guy who claimed to have more experience then he did. They used the unsafe quick release and Owen died. They wanted him to get within a few feet of the ring and do a pratfall. The original harness looked clunky when unhooking and the rigging guy said they'd be fine to use this one. share
