10 Wrestlers Fans Have No Idea What They're Truly Capable Of

10. Kevin Owens

We've seen glimpses of Kevin Steen in WWE.

In NXT, Kevin Owens was the unsentimental and ruthless prizefighter, but on the main roster, he has mostly played the each and every one of you heel drawn in the same bland image as most are.

We haven't seen the shockingly believable, misanthropic sociopath who cuts expletive-laden promos teeming with utter, unbridled disgust. Kevin Steen is an entity of pure loathing, pitched somewhere between sadist and mercenary, with an unsettling aura all the more frightening for its muted, naturalistic quality. His fury can explode - it's wrestling, it sort of has to - but he's as much a tremendous character actor as he is a killer heel.

We've also seen, on random and ultimately pointless episodes of television, Kevin Owens taking unhinged bumps on the ghastly, sharp edges of ladders - but we haven't seen him assemble the plunder with the meticulous, artful cruelty of a torture p*rn horror villain.

The rumours that Kevin Steen is virtually All Elite will not die down - likely because those with memories of his exceptional indie run do know the brutality of which he's capable.
