Yep
Mick foley's biography tells of Owen's sense of humor,
in it he tells of the British Bulldog cracking up and saying Look at Owen, he's killing me as Owen would act as if the least little tap was killing him while a punishing blow would have no effect at all making his opponent look foolish and causing them to lose their temper..

Professional wrestler. Born May 7, 1965, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The youngest of 12 children, Owen was one of six brothers and four brothers-in-law in the Hart family to become professional wrestlers. The Hart boys studied wrestling from an early age in a basement studio under the watchful eye of their father, Stu, himself a talented wrestler. Owen wrestled at the amateur level and became a Canadian college champion before making his professional debut in 1986 as part of his father's Stampede Wrestling tour. After touring in Europe, Japan, Mexico, and Canada, Hart entered the World Wrestling Federation in 1988.
As âthe Rocketâ or âthe Blue Blazer,â Owen became a popular fixture in the WWF. His fierceâalthough stagedârivalry with his older brother, the five-time WWF champion Bret âthe Hitmanâ Hart, attracted viewers, as did their teaming up to form âthe Hart Foundationâ in 1993. Individually, Owen won the King of the Ring title in 1994 and the Intercontinental title in 1997. After Bret unofficially retired in late 1997, Owen was the only remaining Hart on the professional wrestling scene.
Over the years, Hart became disenchanted with the outrageous character of the WWF and especially with federation owner Vince McMahon. In early 1999, he was reportedly preparing to retire and spend more time with his familyâHart had a son, Oje, and a daughter, Athena, with his wife Martha. He thought of beginning a teaching career.
An accident during a pre-match publicity stunt on May 23, 1999, at Kansas City's Kemper Arena put an abrupt and tragic end to those hopes.In front of more than 16,000 fansâmost of them totally unaware of the chilling reality of what they were watchingâHart fell some 90 feet when a release mechanism disengaged on a cable affixed to the ceiling from the safety vest he was wearing, hitting his head on one of the wrestling ringâs padded turnbuckles. He was later pronounced dead of internal bleeding.
The circumstances surrounding Hartâs death sparked much discussion about the increasingly dangerous nature of the WWFâs publicity tactics and provoked calls for some action to be taken by the federation to protect its wrestlers. A wrongful death lawsuit filed against the WWF by Hart's family, who accused the wrestling organization of making dangerous demands on Hart in pursuit of money and television ratings, reached an out-of-court settlement in late 2000. The WWF is pursuing its own lawsuit against the company that manufactured the equipment used during the deadly stunt.

SA-WEET! I was right.
And yea, Mick Foley definetly wasn't the athletic looking type in the least. I used to watch pro wrestling back in the day before all the drama and story lines controlled the show instead of the actual events within themselves.

Look at Owen he's killing me
