(Redirected from Over the Edge: In Your House)
WWF Over the Edge was a professional wrestling PPV that was produced by WWF. It had two PPVs but was retired after the second event, where wrestler Owen Hart, competing as the Blue Blazer at that time, died after he fell 78 feet from a harness to the ring during an entrance stunt and landed chest-first on the top rope, about a foot from the nearest turnbuckle.[1]
