Hear Vince McMahon at the Press Conference

Additional CNN Aritcle

18,000 witnesses in the Kemper Arena....what happened, is still not known, and we may never know.

The WWF's 'super hero' is now looking down on all of us, checking if we're 'saying our prayers, eating our vitamins, and drinking our milk'.

I still can't believe it, the whole wrestling world can't believe it. Jim Ross' quote "This is not a wrestling angle, this was not planned, this is real life" keeps playing in my head over and over and over again.

After the "Over The Edge" PPV ended, Vince McMahon held a press conference, but didn't answer any questions from those in attendance. McMahon was clearly looking very emotional during the interview. He said it was unconfirmed if the cable just gave away or Owen released himself too early when he thought he was hooked up.

Vince continued to say that he hopes he will give us the answers on RAW Is WAR, tonight from St Louis, Missouri.

"We in the World Wrestling Federation are saddened by the tragic accident that occurred here tonight. We send our condolences and sympathy to Owen Hart's family; his wife, Martha; and their two very young children. We don't have any answer as to why this happened....There is an ongoing investigation", said the WWF owner.

Vince continued to say that he hopes he will give us the answers on RAW Is WAR, tonight from St Louis, Missouri.

Kansas City Star newspaper staff were right in the arena, and they interviewed some people from the attendance.

"We thought it was a doll at first," said 15-year-old Robert McCome. "We thought they were just playing with us. We were really shocked when we found out that it was no joke."

Shawn Gaitan, 24, who brought his 7-year-old nephew to the event, said: "I think it's really messed up that they kept on with the show. They could at least told us what was going on. We worry just like the other people worry." Gaitan said he saw Owen flying through the air; his head hit a turnbuckle and snapped back.

Michelle Hindorff, a paramedic and dispatcher for the city ambulance service, said Hart was supposed to be lowered down into the ring. "It didn't get hooked on to him. He thought it was hooked on. We gave him CPR in the ring. He was a trauma code," she said.

As we reported in yesterday's Late Breaking News edition, the cameras of the WWF never switched to the ring, and was all the time showing the fans standing up, and constantly moving onto Jim Ross, who explained the tragic situation.

Kris Alvarenga, from Los Angeles, California, said that the news was all over their TV channels. He added "Channel 4, our NBC station, showed three pictures of Owen; picture one was of the ring, and about 7 paramedics inside. You can see Owen's head, his eyes closed, and what appeared to be a bloody nose, as he was strapped to the board, Jerry Lawler has his back to the camera, and one paramedic seemed to be working on top of Owen".

He continued "picture two was of Owen being removed out of the ring. You cannot see his head, however you can see his torso. This was the most saddest of the three photos for me personally because you clearly saw his left arm and it was hanging limp as the board was sliding under the bottom rope...and picture three was a shot of two referees, one bending down attending to something, the other ref with his arms on top of his head in disbelief."

How they got hold of these pictures, is still unkown.

Owen suffered a severe head trauma from hitting his head on the turnbuckle, and suffered a broken neck from the impact, which is most likely the cause of his death.

He debuted in the World Wrestling Federation in 1988, with his first gimmick "The Blue Blazer". He then left for WCW for a short period of time, travelled to Japan, and returned to the WWF teaming up with Jim Neidhart to form the New Hart Foundation. When Neidhart left the federation, Koko B. Ware replaced him, and changed names to High Energy.

In the beginning of 1994, he turned heel, by beating on his brother at the Royal Rumble, during their match with the Quebecers. 3 months after that incident, he defeated Bret at WrestleMania X in a classic match. The King Of The Ring event was next, and with the help of Jim Neidhart, defeated Razor Ramon in the finals to capture the crown.

The feud with Bret Hart continued to grow, and at SummerSlam 94, he and Bret fought in a steel cage match. Owen lost the match after a breathtaking finale. That same night, Bulldog returned to the WWF after spending some time in WCW.

At WrestleMania XI, he revealed his secret partner, Yokozuna, and wrestled the Smoking Gunns. The team of the "King Of Harts" and Yokozuna ended up the winners, and Owen took his first WWF title. Bulldog turned heel again, and after the duo of Hart and Yokozuna lost the titles back to the Smoking Gunns, Hart along with the Bulldog captured the titles.

In the finals of the European Title tournament, which were held in Germany, Hart lost his match against the British Bulldog. If you're lucky enough to get the tape, see the match, it was a classic. After WrestleMania XIII, Bret Hart turned heel, and formed the Hart Foundation again, with himself, Owen, Bulldog, Neidhart and the late Brian Pillman as the members.

He then went on to win the Intercontinental Title from Rocky Maivia on RAW in April, only to lose it back to Steve Austin at SummerSlam in August. That day was one of the saddest days in Owen's life, when he nearly paralized Steve Austin after an inverted piledriver.

Last year, he turned face for a short period of time, won the European Title from Goldust, and feuded with Hunter Hearst Helmsley.

Just earlier this year, he formed the team with Jeff Jarrett, and won the tag team titles by defeating Ken Shamrock and Big Bossman on January 25th, 1999.

In addition to those titles, Owen is a two time Slammy Award winner. He never got hold of the WWF Heavyweight championship.

During our live coverage of Over The Edge yesterday, the 150 people plus that were on hand for the play by play were shocked, and kept asking if it was true or not. We did our best to give the fans who were not watching the PPV on TV some quotes from Ross, and Lawler on the situation, and gave constant updates of what was happening. Some people even had the guts to throw in sarcastic comments in a wrestling chatroom on IRC.

There was a total chaos in the room, with everyone asking what happened to Owen, and how did he die, something we repeated nearly one thousand times yesterday...but the same people kept asking and asking, and in the end, it was time to moderate the room, and letting no one to talk. The topic of the room simply read:

"Owen Hart is dead. None of us can believe it. The best Hart is gone. RIP Owen Hart, 1966-1999. | Hey Brian [Pillman], you and Owen take care of each other up there for us."

The question of the night was: How did it happen? Something we may know tonight, or never know. Only Owen knows, but he can't give us the answer.

As they say, the show must go on, and so did Over The Edge. People said that the event should have been stopped, but if you think again, you might realize that it was sort of impossible. Not only you have 18,000 people in the arena, but you have hundreds of thousands at home watching on PPV.

The wrestlers looked in pieces, Debra was crying during her backstage interview, and Jarrett took over, but he couldn't finish the interview himself. Road Dogg said that he's praying for Owen, and in one of the most tocuhing scenes I've seen since being a wrestling fan, during the match of the Rock vs HHH, Rock grabbed the mic, and while taunting Triple H, he said "Owen, the Rock loves you." Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler tried their best to continue on as if nothing happened, but to no avail. Even Steve Austin looked destroyed.

Owen Hart, 33, left his wife Martha, and his 2 small kids. He also left behind brothers and sisters, his parents, and alot of close friends, who were his family while on the road with the Federation.

He died. It's all over. Life is short. Get the best of it, cause you never know when it's your turn. He died while trying to entertain the fans, trying to get down from the rafters of the Kemper Arena to give the best entrance of his career....but as staff writer Chris Ciolfitto said yesterday, "WHY? Couldn't he just walk the aisle?"

I'm still speechless as I'm writing this...his image is constantly showing up infront of my eyes...his great wrestling ability, his desire to entertain the fans, to give 110% each and every time he's in the squared circle, resulted in the biggest tradegy in wrestling history. Doing a free fall from nearly the top of an arena, and down in the ring is no joke, and unfortunatley, Owen was the first - and God I hope he's the last - to experience it.

Owen, thanks for the memories, we'll miss you.
