8 Reasons Why Kevin Owens Is A Terrible Heel
7. He’s Like a Wacky Sitcom Buddy
Wouldn’t life just be more fun living next to Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho? You would never know when they’re going to throw open your door, and slide in and tell you all about their big wacky scheme for the week. If Jericho and Owens had their own 22-minute sitcom, I’d absolutely watch it every week, and would likely be very entertained by it. But they’re far more cute than hateable.
Right now, Owens seems as if he’s on the wrong television show. He seems better suited for a role on a Nickelodeon sitcom. Sure, he occasionally shows a bit of ruthlessness, like powerboming Seth Rollins after a match on Raw, but that was only after he and his best friend were rolled up and pinned by The Architect! The heels were basically played for slapstick when they should have been building up Hell in a Cell.
Management loves their act, because they're entertaining, and so they write them funny material. They're just doing what they're told, but that doesn't mean it's a wise business decision.
When it comes to The List, and repeatedly calling each other “best friend”, you almost expect to hear a studio audience laugh and cheer at the delivery for their catchphrase...which, I guess you kind of do.
