10 Dick Moves Promoters Used To Improve Wrestlers' Performances

10. Never Supporting Kevin Owens

The WWE Network '365' special on AJ Styles last year was a rather pleasant stroll along a very hard road - but the travel was just about the only thing that appeared to actually bother the 'Phenomenal' former WWE Champion during his year spent in front of the cameras.

It was substantially different for Kevin Owens during the pilot edition of the show, but felt an awful lot closer to the assumed life of a frustrated performer as he navigated through the choppy waters of Vince McMahon's mind. Never sure if he was in favour or out of fashion with his boss (including when he was Universal Champion!), the 'Prizefighter' tried and often failed to figure out his footing in a company that dished out and withdrew autonomy and creative control quicker than the Goldberg squash that cost him his title.

McMahon in particular was an unapologetic pr*ck to him for so long that it had to be hugely cathartic when Owens got to stick his nut on him in a memorable SmackDown Live segment later that year. Was Vince playing the long game for that particular segment? Not likely, but the memories were probably raw as Owens reared back for the bludgeoning blow.
