5. Insulting

https://youtu.be/5TiwLqvGF_w?t=6m22s But Owens also isn€™t afraid to cross the lines from pettiness and condescension in to downright insulting, as he displayed this past week on NXT. After genuinely stumbling on his words in a promo, he vented his frustration on Hideo Itami. Owens tried to divert the attention away from him, saying €œI€™m stumbling over my words so much, I sound like Hideo trying to speak English.€ Props for thinking so quickly on his feet, but not for degrading a new face in the company who is clearly coming to terms with his new life in the States. Throwing such insults at Japan€™s biggest export certainly isn€™t going to endear Owens to the arena of fans that he has to perform in front on next month when he defends his title against Finn Bálor in Tokyo.
