It's not my intent to disrespect anyone with this column - it's just that we all have preferences. I've never been a big fan of Kevin Owens. I had seen him perform a few times in Ring of Honor, and while he clearly has talent, I much preferred the days when Samoa Joe and Brian Danielson were on top. Watching him in WWE has been interesting. I do think his trilogy with John Cena has been the best thing I've seen from him, but there are plenty of wrestlers whose best matches have been with Cena. Still, watching the three bouts back to back, there was a lot of repetition. By contract, Cena's three recent matches with Seth Rollins have been a lot more varied. I was disappointed when Owens failed to capture the U.S. Title from Cena and I wish him nothing but the best - he is more talented that most. Still, I can't fathom why people compare him to Brock Lesnar.
