3) The Final Days of Owen Hart – Dark Side of the Ring Season 2 Episode 10

Dark Side of the Ring Season 2 ended with a major story following a strong start. The producers chose one of the most tragic tales ever in the wrestling business with "The Final Days of Owen Hart". The youngest Hart brother is widely regarded as being ahead of his time, an all-time great performer, and one of the most kind-hearted individuals ever in the industry.

Dr. Martha Hart was the unquestionable star of this Dark Side of the Ring episode. For the first time on a mainstream level, she was able to tell the story of the man that she and so many wrestling fans loved. Martha spoke from the perspective of who Owen was outside the ring, and how gifted he was inside the squared circle.

Owen's kids added a lot talking about how Owen was as a father, and how their mother reacted to his final days. Jim Ross was on the management side of WWE at the time of Owen's passing and was given the unenviable task of telling the fans that Owen had passed live on air. His reliving of that tragic night was deeply sad and disappointing for him.

The Dark Side of the Ring episode opened fans' eyes as to why the family has been adamant about not wanting Owen to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. The negligence at hand in Owen's stunt from Over The Edge 1999 was evident and should never be ignored. Chris Jericho provided a lot as a talking head and stated that fans were robbed of a career resurgence for Owen Hart.
