This website provides information and updates relating to the lawsuit filed In the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, by Martha Hart, on behalf of the estate of Owen Hart, against World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Vince McMahon (current chairman and CEO) and Linda McMahon (former CEO).

The lawsuit claims that the defendants violated a contract restricting the use of Owen Hart’s name and likeness, and disregarded Martha Hart’s wishes against further association of her late husband’s name with WWE following his death in a tragic accident orchestrated by WWE's predecessor under the direction of Vince and Linda McMahon. WWE has continued to use Owen Hart’s name and image in videos, websites, television programming and print materials in violation of the contract Mr. Hart signed before his death, and despite Mrs. Hart’s expressed wishes. The lawsuit seeks an order prohibiting WWE from further unauthorized use of Owen Hart’s image and likeness and damages for past WWE profits.

Mrs. Hart is represented by the law firm Nixon Peabody, LLP.
