7. Kevin Owens

For many years, fans of independent wrestling had a hard time imagining that Kevin Owens would wind up in WWE. He had more than enough talent to get there, but his physique was sure to hold him back. Making matters worse was the fact that his ring gear - a sleeveless t-shirt and gym shorts - looked pretty sloppy by WWE standards.

Still, Owens got his chance in WWE, and he's succeeded, all without changing what made him work on the indies. He still dresses like a guy who's just come out of the gym, but as "the prizefighter," it works for him - a flashy spandex costume would seem out of place. And yes, he's overweight, but it only makes aspects of his offense (such as his corner cannonball or leaping moonsault) more impressive.

Owens looks like a throwback to territorial stars of old, but he wrestles like an ultra-athletic superstar of the Internet age. Those qualities combine to make him a truly unique star.
