In May 1999, Owen Hart, the youngest member of Canada’s first family of wrestling, was at Kansas City's Kemper Arena to compete in the pay-per-view event “Over The Edge.”

Owen was set to enter the wrestling ring by descending from the rafters on a wire attached to a harness as his alter ego The Blue Blazer.

But something went horribly wrong. On this episode of History of the 90s we explore the life and tragic death of Owen “The Rocket” Hart.
