10 Most METAL Wrestlers Of All Time

4. Kevin Owens

First things first, how good is KO's entrance music. 'Fight' is one of the best themes in WWE today, a ballsy-stomper of a song that is as exciting as it is down-tuned. WWE has never been shy to peddle generic metal entrance music but it really struck gold with the marriage of Kevin Owens and down-tuned riffing.

Kevin Owens is the everyman of WWE, and that makes him metal as all f*ck. In a world of bodybuilders and spotless athletes Owens stands out, a bloke no different to those watching who just so happens to have an incredible work ethic and an innate understanding of what makes professional wrestling great. He also happens to be super athletic, which obviously helps.

Metal has long offered ordinary people a real outlet for emotion, providing those willing to work hard enough an escape from mediocrity. If he wasn't stunning fools and getting beaten up by Roman Reigns on a weekly basis, Owens would likely be an avid watcher of this most magnificent industry. Metal ticks a similar box, filled as it is with bands that would be in the middle of pits if they weren't smashing it on stage.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
