15 Things We Learned From Kevin Owens On Talk Is Jericho
12. Is His Look An Advantage Or Disadvantage?
Back on the topic of the prototypical WWE look, Jericho compares Owens to guys like Mick Foley and Bam Bam Bigelow and says the fact that he doesn't have a cookie-cutter appearance is one of the many things that helps him stand out, and he doesn't see how it wouldn't be to his benefit.
Owens agrees and says he's always felt like it's helped him be unique and has set him apart, whether in a negative or positive manner. He says that people always ask him what's been the one thing that's been the craziest moment for him since joining WWE, and he says that before winning the title the thing that sticks out in his mind the most is from his time working with John Cena.
He talks about how, no matter what town they're in, whether it be a major market city or a tiny town in Illinois, when he's standing in the ring waiting on his opponent and Cena's music hits, that emphatic cacophony of dueling cheers and boos is the wildest thing and what he wants for himself. His goal isn't to be universally loved or hated; he wants fans to be divided in their opinions of him and to be going at it with each other in the same way that they do for Cena and now Roman Reigns as well.
He confesses that his look is polarizing and that some hate it while some love it, and he desires that controversy because it's much better than apathy.
