Jarrett is the special ringside enforcer for the Owen Hart Cup Finals
Twenty-five years have passed since Jarrett and Hart teamed together. Like the rest of the WWE locker room, Jarrett was torn up over Hart’s tragic death. Unlike most of his peers from that era, Jarrett is still an active wrestler more than a quarter-century later. He wrestled in AEW’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament, and he will be ringside for the Owen Cup finals tomorrow on“Never in my wildest dreams did I think we’d be here,” said Jarrett.
“It makes me very emotional,” said Jarrett. “All the way back in May of 1999, I never thought that all these years later I would be continuing my in-ring career, which a blessing beyond my wildest imaginations, or that there would be this Owen Hart Foundation, which Owen’s wife created and does so much good for so many people all over the world. Owen’s children are grown up, and they represent their father so proudly.
“I love that Owen is being recognized as a father, a family man, a husband, a brother, and a professional wrestler. And we’re doing it in Calgary, a place that meant a lot to him.”Last week, “Hangman” Page defeated Jarrett in the quarterfinals of the tourney. Jarrett got involved in Page’s semifinal victory against “Switchblade” Jay White this past Saturday on, and he will undoubtedly play a role in the finals tomorrow night–which is between Page and Bryan Danielson.
“Owen’s core really defined him,” said Jarrett. “His integrity set him apart from everyone I’ve known. It’s an honor to share this with the world.”Justin Barrasso has been writing for Sports Illustrated since 2014.
