"Owen was a guy that I considered myself very lucky to have spent just thirty seconds around, let alone a couple of years. One of the best guys, great family man, and in the ring, if people think that Bret Hart was a great worker, Owen Hart was one hundred times the worker of Bret. That's just my opinion, maybe people agree with it, maybe they don't, but I've seen them both up close, and to me, Owen was much better."
The horrible career ending accident in the ring involving himself in a match with Droz:
"It was a really down part, not only of my career, but of my life. My career, professionally, not winning and losing, but just me, was never the same. I played competitive sports my whole life and I've seen injuries and I've seen severe injury, but I'd never been part of one and it was in Nassau Long Island Coliseum and I can remember it like it's happening right now. We did the running powerbomb, something we'd done a thousand times leading up to that. Honestly, we had done it on every house show for at least a month before that, at least twice a night and on that night, he and I have talked about it, we just don't know what happened. Still to this day, I have no clue and if I try to think about it, it will drive me crazy. I just remember standing there and looking at him after it happened, and going, 'man, come on dog, just get up.' When he didn't, we went to the back and went off to the hospital, I was sitting at the hospital all night. I didn't want to leave, but we had a show the next night in Trenton. I remember I was riding with Kane, and Jim Ross gave me a call and said, "come on, you got to go to work." That had to be the worst match of my life, that next night in Trenton. So, then I went home, the loop was over, and literally, I went home and quit,I retired, I was done. Luckily once again, it was Jim Ross who called me. He talked me about competitive sports and you know, things happen. He said, 'it's bad enough one career has come to an end, let's not make it more of a tragedy and have two careers come to an end.'"
