10 Current Best Talkers In Wrestling

10. Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens is a joy of a professional wrestler.

There were many eyebrows raised in December last year, when KO penned a new deal with WWE. After years of poor booking, it seemed like a certainty that the former Universal Champion would wind up in All Elite Wrestling, where a number of his indie running buddies were.

He even made cryptic allusions to it on Twitter.

But WWE know what they have with Owens, even if they've never fully realised his full potential yet. It's no surprise that Kevin was the man chosen to face 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin at WrestleMania 38 in Austin's first match in nearly two decades. Not just because Owens is wonderful in the ring, but because they needed someone to build the match up on their own.

The 'Texas Rattlesnake' wasn't around, so it was left to the brawling Canadian to run his mouth, popping the wrestling community with a spot-on Stone Cold impression and having one of the greatest WrestleMania moments in recent memory.

Furthermore, look at how quickly audience investment in Ezekiel dwindled when Kevin Owens went down with a minor injury. It was Kev's incredible promos and believable disbelief that got that gimmick over as much as it did.

Owens is exceptional on the mic, and never was that made clearer than on Triple H's first few weeks in charge of WWE creative, when a fired up Owens proclaimed the return of the 'Prizefighter.' More badass KO? Yes please!
