10 Greatest Wrestlers From Quebec

10. TIE: Sami Zayn (Montreal) & Kevin Owens (Marieville)

Zayn and Owens may be fresh faces to fans who only follow WWE and NXT, but the former El Generico and Kevin Steen have both been through the indie wringer and come out with an extensive résumé on par with most of Vince's main roster.

Zayn is one of those guys who wears his roots proudly, with ring attire bearing the Montreal logo as well as checkered patterns referencing the Grand Prix.

Both guys can absolutely go in the ring, and they can work with so many different guys, it almost seems as though either one could coax a four-star match out of The Great Antonio.

While Zayn has all the makings of a beloved babyface, Owens has been a revelation as a heel. Equal parts post-modern and classical, his execution of his character is all the more impressive when you consider that he's tasked with drawing heat from a crowd that wants nothing more than to cheer him loudly.

Both Zayn and Owens have already gone far, but the future somehow seems even brighter, so placing tenth simply leaves them somewhere to go from here.
