15 Things We Learned From Kevin Owens On Talk Is Jericho
1. Favorite Match Of His WWE Career
The two men talk about their chemistry together and how they hear from fans that their relationship is one of the most entertaining things in the company, and Owens says they've pitched the idea for them to do a WWE film together and they're pushing hard for that to come to fruition.
As we wrap things up Chris wants to know what KO's favorite match has been thus far in his brief WWE run. Kevin says he gets this question a lot but he's had so many that it's really hard to answer. He mentions his first NXT bout with CJ Parker as being very special because it was his debut in WWE and he had literally waited twenty years for that moment.
His first match where he defeated John Cena on a pay-per-view is up there, as well as the fatal four-way where he won the Universal title. He also names his incredible match against Sami Zayn at this year's Battleground, and a four-way match with Dolph Ziggler, Roman Reigns and Alberto Del Rio.
He feels it's too hard to pick one because they come down to singular moments for him rather than bouts as a whole, but the top moment so far was winning the Universal championship.
This was an awesome podcast and it's apparent that the onscreen chemistry between Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens carries over into real life as this entire discussion had a great vibe between friends who love the business. KO comes across as the polar opposite of the despicable heel he plays on television, so much so that it can be quite jarring if you've never had any exposure to him out of character.
He's a dedicated, hard-working performer who is worthy of the spot he's been placed in and hopefully things are only going to continue to get better for the new WWE Universal champion. Check out the interview at http://www.podcastone.com/Talk-Is-Jericho
