The cover art for WWE’s upcoming Owen Hart DVD/Blu-ray is getting a significant upgrade, according to WrestlingDVDNetwork.com. While the original cover featured mostly text and graphics with only small black and white photos of Owen, WWE was able to secure the rights for an image fit for the King of Harts.
WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart was interviewed for the project and said Owen Hart’s widow Martha prevented WWE from using a lot of footage and photos that would have made it a decent project. Bret called it “the shits” during an interview with The LAW last month:
“They couldn’t use any pictures from his childhood, they couldn’t use anything from Stampede Wrestling. They had so many restraints. Even the interviews, the questions that they did with me were so bullshit. The whole thing was so bullshit that sure, there’s an Owen Hart DVD, but it’s the shits. […]
I think WWE maybe had good intentions, but I’m not very impressed with the quality that it’s going to be. I haven’t seen it, I’m not optimistic but I’m hoping that it’ll be better than I think.”
“Owen: Hart of Gold” is set to be released on December 8th. Pre-Order now from Amazon.com.
