And Elba is here, Wrestling Observer Live, Mike Sumpra, VVL, so wrestlingobserver.com. Com is in I've calm down. A couple of underheads in the chat. But let's talk about the bright side of the ring, AW in the Owen Hart Foundation. I now say new partnership on Monday, which will include the creation of the Owen Hart Cup Tournament. The collaboration will also include production and distribution of unique and original Owen Hart merchandise. I got you figures, apparel posters and other collectibles and inclusion in the upcoming AW console video game. The tournament will see the creation of a cup. They are calling the Owen created in 2000 and run by Owen's wife Martha, the nonprofit foundation provides global aid to at risk communities with scholarships, housing, food drives, backpack, giveaways and more. Oh, and hard then 34 killed during an accident after being trapped in the ring while in a harness at the then WWF over the edge pay per view in May 1999. Martha later sued WF, settled out of court for $18 million dollars. AW is relationship with the Hart family dates back to our inaugural pay per view, double or nothing in 2019. And Owen's influence is still felt today to extend his memory and his legacy even further through this agreement is a powerful and meaningful moment for the entire wrestling community said at Tony. Martha said the Owen Hart Foundation extremely pleased to partner with AW in this wonderful joint venture to honor Owen's substantial international wrestling career and the lasting influence he is he and his craft have had on the sport. AW's Owen Hart Cup tournament serves as a tremendous tribute to Owen provides an incredible way for pro wrestling enthusiasts to celebrate his work in the most fitting way. We trust that Tony Khan and his amazing AW team will do a brilliant job with this highly anticipated project. So there you go. The Owen Hart Cup, the Owen is coming to AEW. It's awesome. Not everything in wrestling is horrible. No, and this is just so awesome and everything that Martha Hart has done, everything the foundation has done since his passing. She has so boy, I everybody ought to pray that they find someone in their life that is willing to protect and value your legacy, the way that she has and honored her husband's legacy and the father of her kids. I can't it's so the whole story is so horrible and was so horrible for so long and I think people really with dark side of the ring, there was a whole new generation that really got to understand and really maybe for the first time really heard Martha Hart pour her heart out and then got to see what the foundation is doing and then got to see how she has honored her husband's legacy. This is just incredible that she trust AEW enough to do this because of the way she is and how protective she is. So for her to reach this deal puts a lot of pressure on AEW forever going forward, you better make sure you always get this one right because for all of the hell and all of the ugliness of pro wrestling once again, talking about another horrible ugly pro wrestling situation from that time, the none more ugly even this one. The fact that we've come to a mending point, the fact that he's going to be in these games, the fact that a new generation is going to be able to understand and feel this and this foundation can continue to get bigger and bigger and do more and more and help more is just incredible. So I just I love everything about this with all of the negativity that's going on. I'm thrilled about it. The one thing I am hoping as a wrestling fan, as an Owen Hart fan, one thing I'm hoping for is that every time that they award this cup, the Owen to somebody and they hand it to the winner, either the handle breaks off. There's some sort of gag that happens that that would only be just fitting that it's Owen Hart smiling down from heaven with some sort of sight gag happening that a rib taking place just to just just to complete the whole thing. So again, I can't add more support of this. It's awesome. Great. I'm happy for everybody. Sperson Ears says, remember the WWE convinced everyone Martha did not want Owen's legacy to be celebrated when she just didn't want it to be celebrated by them. All the words that make all the difference. Hallelujah. So Cubs fan post that on Twitter and he is exactly right. I think it was Cubs. I can't remember whoever you were. Absolutely. That is exactly the case and there are people apparently I haven't seen these people because I have a well curated timeline. Apparently that are complaining about this and move on. I don't want to hear it. Look, if you're that ignorant, you know what you get. WWE smeared Martha's reputation and made her a villain for 20 years all while trying to get her to let them market and sell Owen Hart again so they could baby face themselves and she kept turning down their money. A hero. She should just skip to right over WWE and they just wretched wretched often in this. They sued her. There's so many things. So many things. Person says Owen Hart went to work for Vince never came home. The show didn't stop businesses usual. They sued Martha and people question her motives when she didn't trust Vince to under Owen's legacy with grace. It's for says today speaks volumes of the reputation Tony kind of a w of build like with Brian Danielson and CM Punk. I wouldn't be surprised if how a w handled Brodie's final months with such grace played apart in them gaining her trust as well. These are long sought after news finally Owen can be celebrated. Let me tell you something. Just let me throw this and insert this in Brodie Lee. Everything everything about that from how his family his his work family and everybody around there kept that quiet. The way that AEW has treated that family. That was a mass. I don't know if that was a turning point, but I can say this a galvanized AEW and a different light for me. It wasn't just and it makes out corny to some people. I don't I don't care. I'm a 45 year old man with a with a kid that has is aged a lot in the last 20 years a lot and perspectives change. And when you see what they have done when you hear some of the things that you've not heard about publicly that they have done for people and that they are doing for people even on our own. So just with what they've done for like Jim Valley for example with what they do on on levels like that. It did change things and I whatever happens in the ring. There's a lot I like. There's a lot I don't like. I really don't like about AEW and the ring, but hey, it all balances out. We're here to talk about it. It's what it is. But when you see a company treat their people like that when they don't have to when there's a whole history of them not doing it. I mean you cannot you there's a lot you can maybe able to say about Tony Conn and the people involved. But do you have to take your hat off to him for this? WWE being the only show in town for so long allowed them to control and profit off of the narrative of pro wrestling, especially when people they wrong came back to them. Therefore I'm so glad Martha got what she wanted for all of these years. A proper celebration of Owen Hart's life. This person I'm so happy for Martha finally has a way to celebrate her late husband's wrestling legacy to mainstream level. This for various reasons can never happen in WWE and will hopefully end the annual Owen Hall of Fame discussion something Martha categorically does not want. This person here the own hard announcement got me emotional when Chris Jericho talked about Martha on his podcast. I dreamed of something like this, but wasn't sure if it would ever happen. I'm glad it has all the best to the heart family. This person here says Martha Hart did dark side of the ring. She's worked with pro wrestling T's. She's done Jericho's podcast. She does not hate the wrestling business. She hates Vince McMahon and with good reason. A W deal is wonderful for all involved. And finally, let me just say this. She doesn't hate Vince McMahon because I don't think she's said that very clearly. She has forgiven. I wouldn't want to put hate in that woman's heart, but I think she is very realistic on what they are. Less Martha Hart this person says I also love the day. W is built enough trust for Owens family to trust them with his legacy. Wonderful news all around. Not gonna lie, this Owen Hart A.W. news made my morning today and people still argue for a virtual monopoly in wrestling. Well, no one. No, no, no, no. No one ironically that's not under on the payroll for any particular coming. And then this person just celebrating her comment about trusting Tony Khan with Owen Hart's legacy. So anyway, like I said, not everything is horrible and wrestling. Sometimes you just hear about all the horrible stuff.
