5. He Got Great Advice From Stone Cold Steve Austin Early In His Career
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kblPGhByAcA Before signing with WWE, Owens appeared on Stone Cold Steve Austins podcast last year. After telling Austin what an honor it was to be speaking with him, Owens told a story of a chance meeting with Austin more than 10 years ago that shaped him into the wrestler that he is today. Owens ran into Austin at an airport, and the two struck up a short conversation about wrestling. As Austin left, Owens asked him for any advice. Austin said, Never stop running your mouth, kid. And Kevin never did. Owenss promos are different than anybody else in the wrestling business. He speaks with such fire and passion at times, but he can also be humorous with a wink toward insider crowds. Owens is a natural on the mic, speaking from stream of consciousness with rarely a filter to keep himself in check, similar to CM Punk. Its Owenss promo style that has endeared him with wrestling fans over the years.
