16 Thing We Learned From Kevin Owens On Talk Is Jericho

10. Bill DeMott

Jericho compares Owens' body type to disgraced former NXT trainer Bill DeMott and said he probably wasn't surprised by Kevin's conditioning. Owens says he doesn't know about that, but acknowledges that DeMott pushed them hard.
"A lot has been said about Bill and his training and this and that, but Bill wasn't easy on anybody, especially during tryouts. But I don't think he was harder on anyone either. He was pretty even across the board. He made sure to weed out the people that didn't really want to be here. And I, personally, at that tryout camp and throughout his time here never saw him be...not abusive, I definitely never saw him be abusive, but I never saw him be harder on someone that others. Throughout the years maybe he did start having opinions about people here and I don't know if that ever hindered his work. But as far as I'm concerned, from the tryout, to when I came here and I signed, to when he left...he was always pretty straightforward with me."
