Max Mini and the Owen Hart tragedy.

By Scott Keith on 15 October 2021



Hi Scott,

I’ve just come across a story claim from Meltzer that could be just bullshit but it’s so specific that it’s worth a discussion.

Basically the original plan for Over The Edge 1999 was for Owen Hart dressed as The Blue Blazer to carry Max Mini dressed as a miniature Blue Blazer.

This means that if the original plan had gone ahead there might have been two fatalities that night.

Interestingly what Meltzer claims saved Max Mini’s life was that Owen no showed the practice sessions earlier in the day, where they were showing him how to get in and out of the harness safely. So when Owen finally turned up WWE simplified the stunt so it was less for Owen to learn in such a short space of time.

Is this story one you have heard of before & do you believe it?

Definitely a new one on me.
