AEW and The Owen Hart Foundation Enter Into A Relationship to Honor World Renowned Wrestler Owen Hart’s Legacy
September 20, 2021 — All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and The Owen Hart Foundation (OHF), a nonprofit charity which provides a vast range of assistance and opportunities to individuals in-need across the world, are collaborating to honor the legacy of late wrestler Owen Hart, a beloved figure in the professional wrestling community and beyond. This collaboration includes launching the annual Owen Hart Cup Tournament within AEW, which will see the winner receive a Cup known as “The Owen,” as well as production and distribution of unique and original Owen Hart merchandise, including specified retail goods as well as the upcoming AEW console video game.
While the details are limited on the tournament, it is officially the first annual tournament in AEW history. They have done Championship Eliminator tournaments in their first few years but nothing that has become an annual part of their schedule. The upcoming AEW video game will also be the first time Hart is featured in a video game since 2004 when he was featured in Showdown: Legends of Wrestling.
