I'm currently writing a documentary, titled "Falling From Grace: The Owen Hart Story," and I need some help. if anyone can remember some very memorable moments from pro wrestling, please note it here. things like hogan bodyslammign andre, hogan testifying agaisnt vince mcmahon in court for steroids, hogan forming the NWO with the outsiders, rick rude apearing on raw and nitro at the same time, ric flair keeping the NWA belt after leaving, and even some ROH stuff would be acceptable and helpful.

Far be it for me to ask, but what do any of those things have to do with Owen Hart?

First of all, you may want to rethink the title, as that could be construed as in bad taste, since Owen died by falling from the rafters onto a ring post.
Most Memorable moments:
Ultimate warrior beating HHH at wrestlemania in like 8 seconds.
Eric Bischof being named RAW general manger.
Shawn Michaels being the first man in and winning the Royal Rumble
Shawn vs Bret @ Wrestlemania 12. (Shawn's special entrance and 1st title win)
Owen vs Bret @ Wrestlemania X
Degeneration-X dressed up like, and mocking, The Nation of Domination
Steve Auston walking out on the WWE and The Rock's surprise appearance and response.
The rise and fall of Brock Lesner
Brock mislanding a Shooting Star Press @ Wrestlemania 19
TLC match at Wrestlemania 2000 (Hardys vs Egde & Christian vs The Dudleys)
Mae Young giving birth to a rubber hand
David Arquette winning the WCW World Title (Worst WCW moment, ever.)
I could probably think of more, but that should do for now.

He did?
OH MY GOD!!!!
I seriously didn't know. I thought he wrestled on ECW. didn't they repackage him as some guy that doesn't do drugs or something?
seriously, you're joking about him dying, right?

May 23, 1999? Over The Edge PPV? In a ring entrance gone terribly awry, Owen fell nearly 80 feet onto one of the turnbuckles and died almost instantly.
I don't believe you've never heard.

Jew is clearly being facetious.
Another good wrestling moment was the time that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan got fired from WCW and had to take a job as a janitor. While doing janitorial stuff, he found the WCW TV Title in the trash, claimed it as his own, and started defending it.

Didn't the same sort of thing happen with the WWE IC title? Someone found it in Shane McMahon's dufflebag after he had retired it, and asked if they could have it? My memory fails me at the moment.

IC title? No way. Maybe the European belt or Hardcore title.

I think you're right, I think it was the European title.
As for CM Punk, here's a bio for him: http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/profiles/c/c-m-punk.html
This guy looks nothing like Owen. If anyone looks like he could be related to Owen, it would Ken "Kenny" Doane from the Spirit Squad.

It was the European title, and Mideon found it in Shane's bag on 6/21/99 and started wearing it. Eventually, they started to recognize him as the offical title holder.
The belt would change hands 25 more times before it was unified with the Intercontinental Title, which Van Dam won on 05/26/02 in Edmonton, AB.
--------------------------------------
Just in case there is anyone who doesn't know the story concerning Owen's death, here is the short version curtesy of wikipedia.org:
"Hart fell to his death in Kansas City, Missouri on May 23, 1999, during the WWF Over the Edge PPV event. He was being lowered into the ring from the rafters of Kemper Arena for a scheduled WWF Intercontinental Championship win over The Godfather.
In keeping with the Blazer's new 'buffoonish superhero' character, Owen was to be lowered to just above ring level, at which time he would release himself from the safety harness and then comically fall flat on his face. He had performed the stunt only a few times before, and was worried about performing the stunt at Kemper Arena due to the height involved (Owen had a fear of heights).
Owen performed a practice stunt earlier in the day, and the stunt went forward on the show as scheduled. His wife Martha suggests that, by moving around to get comfortable with both the harness and his cape on, Owen unintentionally triggered an early release and fell 78 feet (24 m) into the ring, smashing his chest on a padded, but still tough, ring turnbuckle.
TV viewers at home did not see the incident or its aftermath, as the WWF was transmitting a promotional video package for the match, and only showed the audience while Owen was being worked on by medical personnel inside the ring while WWF television announcer Jim Ross repeatedly told those watching live on pay-per-view that what just transpired was not a wrestling angle or storyline and that Hart was hurt badly.
Owen was transported to the Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, where he was pronounced dead on arrival (he actually died about six minutes after the fall, while still lying in the ring). The cause was later revealed to be internal bleeding from blunt chest trauma. He was 34 years old. The WWF chose to continue the event, which drew a great deal of criticism over the following weeks, especially as the main event of the evening involved The Undertaker (also known as the "Deadman") winning the WWF Title.
The next night on Monday Night Raw in St. Louis, Missouri, a two-hour televised tribute was broadcast (see RAW is Owen), in which WWF wrestlers and officials paid tribute to Hart. The Over the Edge event name was retired."

I had a whole list of memorable moments, and I lost them all. You're making a documentary about Owen Hart, which has NOTHING to do with Owen Hart, and didn't even know he was dead? If you were being sarcastic the first time that was fine, but to continue the charade after being called on it?
Oh wait, I've got one. Macho Man Randy Savage being held down by the nWo and whipped by the Giant (The Big Show) he then procedes to "snap into it" directly into the camera in preperation for Slim Jim's Halloween Havoc.
