16 Thing We Learned From Kevin Owens On Talk Is Jericho

Talk, Owens, Talk!

By Brad Hamilton /

Kevin Owens has easily become the most currently talked about man in the entire world of professional wrestling. From the moment he appeared in NXT, he€™s taken that promotion by storm, immediately becoming their top star and winning the championship in only his second match. This was accomplished in large part by revisiting the Kevin Steen/El Generico feud that rocked the independent scene for years, positioning the newly-christened Kevin Owens against his real life and kayfabe close friend Sami Zayn in a heated feud the likes of which the main WWE shows rarely present. Hot off the heels of his success in NXT, he€™s now embroiled in a war with U.S. champion John Cena, leaving him laying on two separate occasions leading up to their much-anticipated face-off at this week€™s Elimination Chamber special event. For most fans of the indie scene, the thought of seeing Kevin Steen verbally dressing down John Cena on Raw before leaving him in a heap with a pop-up powerbomb seemed utterly out of the realm of possibility just a year ago, and now it€™s the hottest program in the entire business. The NXT champion sat down with fellow Canadian Chris Jericho and recanted tales of how he got started in the business, training at a flea market, the unique way he learned English that only true wrestling fans can appreciate and much more. It€™s a fun ride so read along and enjoy.
