Kevin Owens has never been one to shy away from questions about being a mega-fan of pro wrestling in the 1990's. In fact, listen to or watch enough of KO's interviews and it's clear he comes alive when asked about the good old days. It's a surprise then to find out that he ranks WrestleMania XXX as his favourite pay-per-view ever.

This must have something to do with good pal Daniel Bryan's success at that event. Owens was there in person for the 2014 show, and he would have been one of the thousands applauding Bryan's ascent to the WWE Title summit. During an interview with AL.com, Owens (after struggling to name just one PPV) settled for 'Mania 30.

So much happened on that card. Bryan lived his dream, Brock Lesnar shattered The Undertaker's undefeated streak, Cesaro won a Battle Royal and The Shield had their first 'Mania moment. Seeing history made as 'Taker fell and watching good pals Bryan and Cesaro do so well obviously warmed KO's heart.

What a guy.
