WWE Over the Edge (1999)

That was an excellent one.

Admirable film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Ever since I was eight years old I have been a big wrestling fan. It didn't matter what federation I watched. WWE,WCW,USWA. To me the action is all I watched it for.May 23rd 1999. That was my 19 birthday. I ordered Over the Edge and I was just expecting another pay per view. But this time. I was wrong. Instead that was the night one of the best wrestlers to come out of Canada a true human being fell to his death due to a stunt gone wrong. Not much you can do to change the situation. But what happened affter Owens death made me very mad.Rather then ending the pay per view and doing the right thing as human beings the WWE decided to protect what comes first and that was the money by keeping the pay per view going as if Owens death never happened.I gotta tell you. Vince Mchmaon has made some stupid decisions in his life but this was by far the stupidest decision he ever made.And this crap with saying Owen would have wanted the pay pew view to keep going. Give me a break. When someone dies on a pay pew view its comon sense to stop it. Thats like a police officer shooting a robber or a mugger with a run and then just leaving the man to die so he can go home and call it a day as if the mans life never mattered.But no matter what happens. Owen will be missed and thanks for the memories for all the times you gave us.

I remember it all like it was yesterday. Watching the PPV live at my friends' house. I saw Owen fall and thought to myself "Eh, it's just a publicity stunt." The next day, though, I saw it posted all over the news. Pretty sad I think. It is sad that Vince had to keep the show going knowing he lost one of his BEST wrestlers alive at that point in time. I believe that Owen would have been "The Game" instead of HHH today if he was still alive. He was and still is my favorite wrestlers of all times. Even though he stood in the shadows of older brother Bret, Owen was right up there as the best in the business. I think they should have postponed the rest of the PPV that night till either the next Sunday or even carded the rest of those matches until the next PPV. You will always be remembered in the hearts of all true wrestling fans around the world Owen. This ones for you! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The fact the entire card of that PPV took place that night makes me really feel bad about being a wrestling fan. The WWE stated in a press conference following the event that the reason they went on after Owen's fall is that this is what Owen would have wanted. Sure Owen would have wanted wrestling to go on but not right away. Excuse me but that is by far the WORST decision Vince Mcmahon ever tooked. Im so disgusted with the fact that they were only able to give 15mins, they annouced his death live and spend the following night at Raw all crying out loud on network television paying him a so-called Steve Austin drinking beer celebration. No matter what kind of entertainment you are offering even though you are live in front of the entire country, sometimes the show must be stopped.

Most people only remember Over the Edge for one thing. Owen's death. I can't give the show a fair rating. It wouldn't be fair too. So I'll just say that it was an interesting show. ONe no one will ever forget. Everything else no one remembers well. Here's to you Owen!
