Owen Hart’s brother Smith Hart blasts Russo, challenges him to a fight for Owen’s charity

Vince Russo

Smith Hart, the late great Owen Hart's elder brother, blasted Vince Russo on Twitter last night for his role in Spike TV's decision to not renew TNA's TV deal. He blamed Russo for the troubles of two pro-wrestling companies, WCW & TNA. He also blamed him for murdering his brother Owen as Russo booked the stunt which Owen performed as the Blue Blazer at WWF Over the Edge 1999 PPV, the night he died.

Here’s what he tweeted:

He also wrote that something good can come from the destruction of TNA, which will be raising money for a worthy cause:

“If nothing else good can come of the destruction of TNA, and the loss of jobs, perhaps raising money for a worthy cause would be.”
