Owen Hart’s son shared a rare moment of positivity towards the wrestling industry with Tony Khan in the aftermath of AEW All In.

Owen Hart’s story is known by almost every wrestling fan At Over The Edge 1999, Owen’s harness would fail on a zipline stunt for his entrance, leading to his tragic death.

While speaking to Insider, Tony Khan claimed that Owen Hart’s son Oje told him AEW felt like him despite his hatred for pro wrestling.

”It’s such a special place. I remember standing outside Wembley Stadium with a bunch of the guys; we were walking out of the show, and Oje Hart was with us — Owen Hart’s son. In the shadow of Wembley Stadium, as we all walked out, he said: “Pro wrestling took everything from me and I hate it, yet here I am and AEW feels like home to me.” It’s a moment I’ll never forget. It was so perfect to happen there. At Wembley.

v#The Owen Hart tournament is not just a once-a-year thing, it’s really special. They are a part of our crew. To have Christian Cage, Jeff Jarrett, Dustin Rhodes, people who were really close to Owen Hart, it means a lot to people here to continue that legacy.”
