A Calgary artist's portrait of an iconic professional wrestler Chris Jericho is getting love online but for all the wrong reasons. Kim Parrent created the portrait to be auctioned off as a fundraiser for the Owen Hart Foundation. Owen Hart fell to his death after an equipment malfunction at a 1999 live pay-per-view event. His widow, Martha Hart, set up the foundation to honour his legacy with community initiatives. "Chris is a dear friend. The reason why I had the picture was because he was supposed to originally be coming to the Calgary [AEW Wrestling] show, so I brought it because he was going to sign it for me so it would be more valuable for our online auction," Martha Hart told CBC News in a telephone interview from England. That painting was in Martha Hart's Jeep Rubicon when it was stolen from her sister's house in the Balmoral area of northwest Calgary in the early hours of July 27. The vehicle was taken to a CN rail yard near Calgary — according to a tracking device that was in it — where it may be sitting in one of more 6,000 shipping containers, called sea cans, according to Hart and Alberta RCMP. When news of the theft hit social media, a certain AEW wrestler weighed in. "Sorry to hear about this!" Chris Jericho commented to his 4.3-million Instagram followers. "That's an awesome painting too!" Reporter: David Bell/CBC; Video: Natalie Valleau/CBC | #cbc #cbcnews #calgary #yyc
