16 Thing We Learned From Kevin Owens On Talk Is Jericho

5. Learning To Be Himself

Owens mentioned how Jericho's first two books served as great primers to get him ready for what to expect and to prepare his attitude and mindset. He said that Chris told him in a tweet that he got there for a reason so continue to be himself, but that was something he struggled with, He mentions how he used to wrestle in singlets but that his career really took off when he started wrestling in street fighting gear, but when he came to NXT he went back to the singlets for one of the first promo shoots, and while looking at himself in the mirror he realized he looked ridiculous. Enzo Amore told him to lose the singlet, cut the sleeves off his Guns N' Roses shirt, throw his shorts back on and get out there. He did it, but the producer told him because of the GNR logo he had to turn the shirt inside out, so to offset the plain black shirt he took some of Finn Balor's bodypaint and splashed the word "fight" across it, and that's how his look evolved into what it currently is.
