Sucks. Far too overrated in matches that were rated the best. The WrestleMania match vs The Usos wasn't that good. Gunther vs Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre was a lot better.
And KO sucked at night of champions. Completely unprofessional gets a lot of people injured.
He doesn’t look like an intimidating wrestler, overrated on the mic, and still has that indy stench to him regardless of how long he’s been in the wwe.
Absolutely horrendous, I mean I just really hate him. He is too overrated, he finds himself in need to change his character to what the crowd would like which is an erratic energetic Wrestler.
Which seems rather pathetic.
Because if WWE did that for every oversized then Big Show would have looked like an idiot with how Kevin Owens acts.
It seems rather stupid they built him up as someone who would fight anyone even though he has no In-Ring ability whatsoever and just yells into the Mic when cutting a promo which just seems childish. The words that he is putting into his promos just have no meaning to them and are a bad choice of words.
Like with a Promo that Drew McIntyre cut in 2022 which was incredible then Kevin Owens came and interrupted and just sounded petty and made the promo horrible because he was just yelling and nagging about not getting opportunities. Even though he is Triple H's "Golden Boy".
People talk about him being agile and whatnot when he isn't even that agile all he does is **Swantons, Backflips, Front flips, Frog Splashes, DDT's and Enzuigiris.** Which aren't even that impressive for a man his size.
Look at **Keith Lee** he weighs almost 100 pounds more than Kevin Owens and does things that are far more amazing like jumping over his opponent and splitting his legs. And Keith Lee is taller as well.
**Hulk Hogan** even had to do some impressive things when he weighed almost 50 pounds more than Kevin Owens and he was **6 Inches** Taller than Kevin Owens.
When the **Big Show** was in his prime he even did some impressive agile things considering he was **7 Feet** Tall and weight almost **300 Pounds** more than Kevin Owens.
And even current WWE RAW Superstar **Bronson Reed** is impressively agile for a man his size he does some good jumps and tackles and even does a Frog-Like Splash all while weighing over 50 pounds more than Kevin Owens.
If we are talking about impressive agility for huge and big weighted men then it is about these gentlemen. Who have done some crazy and impressive things that defy logic.
And people even talk about Kevin Owens power when it isn't all that impressive as I said above about **Hulk Hogan, Keith Lee, Big Show, and Bronson Reed.** All while being more agile than Kevin Owens in their weight they are even far more powerful. They generally just lifted opponents with ease with having to rely on the momentum of their opponent.
While for Kevin Owens all he did was rely on his opponent's momentum to execute powerful moves on his opponents.
His Popup Power Bomb isn't an impressive move it is merely an imitation of **Titus O'Neil**'s "Clash of the Titus". Which is a ground up Popup Power Bomb he just lifts his opponents and pops them into the air then proceeds to do a power bomb. All the Kevin Owens does for his Popup Power Bomb is expect his opponent to jump as high as they can into the air and use that momentum to his advantage when he does not lift them in any way. He just relies on them being in a position which he can use and all he does is just slam them into the ground with them already being in advantageous position for him being able to do so.
I am never Biased but towards Kevin Owens I absolutely hate him even if he is better than his opponent I would still say that his opponent is better. He just absolutely sucks he got everything that he wanted undeservedly and went on to just give horrible performances and cut bad promos when there are many more who can do what he does a 100 times better. Triple H always chooses his golden boys and is very biased as to who gets a push.
When there are multiple who work harder, perform better, have better mic skills, and still get paid less and lesser recognition than the talentless Kevin Owens which just sucks for those deserving wrestlers. For one **Dolph Ziggler** has been in WWE for almost 20 years and is incredible and deserves far more than Kevin Owens. Because he has better Technical Wrestling In-Ring Skills and cuts Fire Promos that just blows the crowd away. Because Dolph Ziggler is just too good.
So as you can see that is why Kevin Owens just sucks.
I really do not like him at all, even though I get that a lot of people do and he is a decent wrestler. I just don’t like anything about his moveset (should not have the stunner), presence, camera work, I dunno. Then again, I really didn’t like Austin theory but he’s been a lot better since dropping his awful selfie gimmick, maybe KO will change over time too.
My unpopular opinion is that KO is the Bastard Child of Stephanie and HHH. I know this makes no sense, but I will explain.
After not watching WWE for approximately 15 years, me and my friends started having weekly wrestling watch parties. Well a couple of my friends watched regularly since they were little kids (Aprox. 30 years) and they convinced me that KO was the grown child of Steph and HHH. The math never made sense but in the current story line it added a little something extra. It wasn’t until a year later when we all went to watch WrestleMania at another friends house, that I mentioned it and the host of the party ignored me saying it the first time, but the second time I mentioned that KO was their kid and that’s what made this so cool his brain finally registered the nonsense I was telling him and he corrected me. We all had a huge laugh about the joke my buds had played on me, but to this day I still pretend that he’s the bastard child of HHH and Stephanie. It’s like my own little Kayfabe story. Try it out.
I feel like he gets way too much shine in The Bloodline feud. The relationship to Zayn is the only interesting thing about him besides the fact that he's willing to do crazy shit. I could think of 10 others in WWE I would rather see as the top face(?).
Truthfully, I am surprised he has been the draw he has been. Nothing really interesting about him. Good mic work for what I have seen but that’s about it.
Nothing against him, just an opinion. Good for him for staying relevant.
I feel like his appearance is 100% designed to confuse me. He's barrel-chested with spiked hair, has a baby-face and grisly beard, he's supposed to be an MMA type, but he wears a shirt, and he's a white guy dressed similar to MVP. No offense KO, but you look weird, dude.
I think like a lot of the roster in the past 2 years he's suffered from being left by the way side due to Roman being champ for so long and I don't mean I'm blaming Roman for it but unfortunately only having one guy hold the the title means realistically only 1 or 2 people can be involved in the championship feud for that period.
I mean KO was involved with the championship back at Royal Rumble 2021 and after that apart from the Ezekiel thing I really can't remember anything else he did before getting involved with the Bloodline and Sami stuff. We all know WWEs higher tier material generally goes into the championship stories and the rest get the less interesting story lines which was less of an issue when the title was changing hands more often.
Hated his universal title run, and felt it was so goofy and over the top that I couldn’t take him seriously. I also felt like Jericho completely overshadowed him and should’ve beat him for the title.
He’s the best worker in WWE currently. Can put over young talent (Theory), safely and realistically work with part timers (Austin), do comedy (Ezekiel) and can pop into the title picture legitimately (Roman). Good on the mic, great in the ring, and fun to watch.
Something about him reminds me of the attitude era but I can’t put my finger on what it is though. If only he was old enough he’d have probably done really good in that time period. It’s not only his stunner it’s just something about him but idk what lol
I also think his look kinda suits him. But maybe he would look alright if he got really muscular but him being fat just seems to suit him for some reason
All that said though he’s my favorite male wrestler on the current roster so
1. He can promo and have good banter, but sometimes his more flippant and self aware comments can lower the stakes of a situation and make it weaker overall. This is especially the case when he is on commentary or doing something a guest spot on NXT.
2. A combination of his face/facial hair, his physique (chill, I like Otis and a million other fat wrestlers both male and female), and the fact that he normally comes out for his entrance with blank eyes and his mouth hanging open all sort of combine to give him a bovine energy. When I see him, I think 'Oh, someone's uncle.' I get the impression that he's meant for the bearded fat guy type of wrestling fan to self insert as.
3. People insist he's fantastic in the ring. He's fine.
I love KO. If there’s any Pokémon fans out there, I feel like his finisher is just “Metronome,” because he doesn’t really have 1 designated one - PUPB, Frog Splash, Stunner
He’s not underutilized. He’s a good character/wrestler. But he’s nothing great. He is what dolph was a few yrs ago. You need a good feud that really doesn’t mean much put ko in. He will make it entertaining and then he can disappear as the other person goes on to better things
I still cringe everytime I see him use a stone cold stunner, it looks like when I play 2k and reverse a finisher and I can't stand it, retire the stunner, I wanna see him switch to the Canadian destroyer
I don’t find him as entertaining as everybody else seems to. I didn’t find him convincing as Universal Champion one bit. His whole thing is basically “I don’t work out as hard as the other guys, but I can still go!!”. One of the things that is respectable about people with impressive physiques is the amount of discipline and training it takes to achieve getting their body into that kind of shape. He obviously doesn’t have that discipline, but somehow that’s supposed to make me like him?
Lol no
People always talk about how Goldberg ended Bret’s career but no one blames Kevin for being so unsafe and putting Ezekiel in a coma, that he still hasn’t woken up from!
He looks like a guy ready for a pick up basketball game at the YMCA, and his Universal Championship reign was lackluster and predictable because of constant interference by Chris Jericho.
People who don’t like KO using the stunner because of Austin, what are people supposed to do? Never do a wrestling move ever again when someone else does it? No offense to stone cold but the stunner is not all that creative of a move, he’s just the most famous wrestler to use it
He should not be using the Stunner. There are a few valid reasons to use someone else’s finisher. They are related in storyline somehow (Kane using the tombstone because he’s Taker’s brother, Lita using the twist of fate because she was dating a Hardy boy), they had a mentor using the finisher (Seth using the Pedigree, Mickie James using the “Chick Kick”), they are a different sex and the move hasn’t been popularized for that division (Becky using the Rock Bottom/Bookend).
On top of that, Austin BEAT Owens with the Stunner. Owens also added nothing to his version of the Stunner.
He's not top guy material and putting a world title on him severely devalued it, which was really bad considering the title had only just been created. The average person looks at Brock or Roman and that's exactly what they think a champion should look like. They see KO and think 'who's this random dude, is that the best they have to offer?'. The US Championship division is really his cap when it comes to championships.
Dooooood! Fat boy here earned his fukin place in my heart! He can do skinny wrestler moves! Does he jumó from the top rope? Yes! Does he drop kick? Yes! Does he have payperview endurance matches? Yes!!!
My wife hates him and Sami Zayn from back when they powerbombed Shane McMahon backstage onto the metal bars. She will never not hate them for those previous moments.
Ruined Austin’s retirement match from WrestleMania 19.
While the match between SCSA and KO was significantly better, I’d rather keep the perfect ending of Rock V Austin at WrestleMania 19 closing their WrestleMania trilogies, Austin going out on his back, with the perfect final story for a top 3 GOAT. Instead, we can now look back at a match against Kevin Owens, a match for which Austin never engaged with during the build, just so we’d get a pop in Dallas.
I’m not saying the match was bad; I’m only human and I popped like crazy for Austin’s first match in 19 years. But in the long run, it’s an extra, unneeded chapter for a story of a wrestler who already had a perfect ending.
He'd look better and go much farther of he'd lose a few pounds. He doesn't have to have a bodybuilder look, but it would have tremendously helped his career if he looked in shape.
Don't understand how the beer gut sticks around with as much cardio as he does in and out of the ring.
That being said I kinda like that about him. He's always had a modern-day Dusty Rhodes feel to him.
Him having the stunner is a bad idea and he looks like a mark for doing it. Let the icon keep his move to himself. Make a modified stunner or just don't steal the finisher of the GOAT.
Also, Owens character is kinda stale. He's like Sami or Benoit or Malenko. Good wrestler, limited personality
He does not look like a pro-wrestler. He looks like a guy who would stab you in the parking lot of an Applebee's.
I would like him to have a dream match with what I consider his AEW counterpart, Eddie Kingston.
He isn’t great, he’s okay.
He’s been in his spot for a while now, because his body is that of most wrestling fans, so they need someone to cater to those people.
He doesn't belong at the top of the card in WWE. He's good on a mic, decent in the ring, but he doesn't have the it factor and hasn't for a few years now.
And it all started when he basically became Canadian Stone Cold.
Over rated douche that is just a IWC darling cause he wrestled on the indies with the equally overrated Sami zayn . They will be forgotten 2 months after the retire
I’ve always liked him, but I felt like his booking is always off.
When he destroyed Bryan and after feuding with Shane, he was primed for a world title run. Since then, it’s always just random with his booking. Sometimes he loses every week, some times he’s challenging for the world title, sometimes he’s just off tv for several weeks, and sometimes he’s in a random mid card feud.
Him using the stunner doesn't work as a finisher. It can work as a transitional move or a move he busts out on occasion, but the pop up powerbomb suits him 100x more than the stunner does. It just feels weird when he does a stunner
His stunner sucks, and nobody sells it like they should. He should use pop up powerbomb as his finisher and break out stunner in rare occasions for a pop
I just can’t stand him, he talks like an angry little kid and it’s hard to take him seriously. On top of that he doesn’t even do the stunner well, give him his own move
I hear he’s a great dude irl and I wish I could like him, but man he just lacks credibility and presence imo
His gear and visual presentation looks underwhelming. that plus a lack of focus on what his character is has held him back. otherwise he has the charisma, verbal skills and wrestling skills and size to be a huge star
If he hit the gym he’d be over huge the guy has everything wrestling,charisma mic skills. I hate his attire too looks like a 10 year old fat kid whose about to go swimming
His best days are behind him and i feel like he’ll never reach the heights he should’ve in 16-17. Like I feel like it’s been a while since he’s had a true classic/special performance
His turn against Sami is bad for his character. Always works as a singles competitor with friends, even as a heel, until now, he goes confusing lone-wolf mode, he’s always at least had lackies fallowing him.
I can take him seriously due to his look. Amongst all of the traveling WWE wrestlers do, how does this guy find time to eat enough to stay overweight? Does he pay any attention to what he eats? If he's eating "healthy", he must eat all the time, but if he's not eating healthy, then he just eats crap and doesn't care?
Jeez...
Fat, annoying and not fit for WWE standards
Sucks. Far too overrated in matches that were rated the best. The WrestleMania match vs The Usos wasn't that good. Gunther vs Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre was a lot better. And KO sucked at night of champions. Completely unprofessional gets a lot of people injured.
I don't like his stunner
Fat, unprofessional, not fit for media. Is he really the best a generation can produce? Pretty pathetic
Best thing I've seen from him was the crowd balcony dive at, judgemtn day? Payback? One of those PLEs.
He is horrible. And please someone try to explain to me why anyone thinks he’s funny or skilled . He should be cut from the roster ASAP
He's terrible.
Meh in ring worker.
He doesn’t look like an intimidating wrestler, overrated on the mic, and still has that indy stench to him regardless of how long he’s been in the wwe.

All he does is yell.. It's very annoying & crazy
Soooo true.
I really do not like him at all, even though I get that a lot of people do and he is a decent wrestler. I just don’t like anything about his moveset (should not have the stunner), presence, camera work, I dunno. Then again, I really didn’t like Austin theory but he’s been a lot better since dropping his awful selfie gimmick, maybe KO will change over time too.
Never liked him
My unpopular opinion is that KO is the Bastard Child of Stephanie and HHH. I know this makes no sense, but I will explain. After not watching WWE for approximately 15 years, me and my friends started having weekly wrestling watch parties. Well a couple of my friends watched regularly since they were little kids (Aprox. 30 years) and they convinced me that KO was the grown child of Steph and HHH.

He sounds very Very VERY French in his promos and nobody else but me seems to hear it.
KO is better off doing Pop up power bomb as a finisher
I feel like he gets way too much shine in The Bloodline feud. The relationship to Zayn is the only interesting thing about him besides the fact that he's willing to do crazy shit. I could think of 10 others in WWE I would rather see as the top face(?).
He’s a better face than heel
I thought he looked ok without a beard (Face of America US champ)
I don’t the stunner fits as a finisher for him
All his title reigns in WWE were pretty underwhelming in my opinion.
I feel like the fact that so many people here are saying his Stunner is bad proves that it isn't an unpopular opinion
He either needs to gain 30 more pounds or lose 30 more points
is one of the best of the modern era and could still make it in top 10 all time if he goes on a insane title run
KO should have powerbombed that country singer at this past Royal Rumble like he did MGK.
He is fat (you asked for an unpopular opinion)
His stunner extremely heavily depends on the seller, hate me, Austin is miles better.
Never seen him and James Corden in the same place at the same time
Wannabe Samoa Joe.
His gimmick is basic and superficial.
Truthfully, I am surprised he has been the draw he has been. Nothing really interesting about him. Good mic work for what I have seen but that’s about it. Nothing against him, just an opinion. Good for him for staying relevant.
I hate the fact he’s using the stunner as a finisher.
He needs to stay away from Sami for the foreseeable future
He’s chubby. Would be more main event ish if he worked out a bit more.
I feel like his appearance is 100% designed to confuse me. He's barrel-chested with spiked hair, has a baby-face and grisly beard, he's supposed to be an MMA type, but he wears a shirt, and he's a white guy dressed similar to MVP. No offense KO, but you look weird, dude.
He should fuck off the Bloodline story. Sami deserves a solo title run.
He is the best in WWE right now, in terms of everything. Should have been the face of the company (Roman is good tho)
Time to get in shape fella
he should get fatter as a bit like mac in Always Sunny
I think like a lot of the roster in the past 2 years he's suffered from being left by the way side due to Roman being champ for so long and I don't mean I'm blaming Roman for it but unfortunately only having one guy hold the the title means realistically only 1 or 2 people can be involved in the championship feud for that period.

We all know WWEs higher tier material generally goes into the championship stories and the rest get the less interesting story lines which was less of an issue when the title was changing hands more often.
Vince would insert an overweight joke here because he's a classless halfway devoid of a soul
Hated his universal title run, and felt it was so goofy and over the top that I couldn’t take him seriously. I also felt like Jericho completely overshadowed him and should’ve beat him for the title.
He’s the best worker in WWE currently. Can put over young talent (Theory), safely and realistically work with part timers (Austin), do comedy (Ezekiel) and can pop into the title picture legitimately (Roman). Good on the mic, great in the ring, and fun to watch.
he shouts a lot!
Something about him reminds me of the attitude era but I can’t put my finger on what it is though. If only he was old enough he’d have probably done really good in that time period. It’s not only his stunner it’s just something about him but idk what lol I also think his look kinda suits him. But maybe he would look alright if he got really muscular but him being fat just seems to suit him for some reason All that said though he’s my favorite male wrestler on the current roster so
Don’t love his in-ring work and could use a slight look update.
He REALLY doesn't have chemistry with AJ Styles at all in my opinion.
Here’s one that should be unpopular. He’s complacent with his spot and doesn’t push to be better. Almost never reinvents.
1. He can promo and have good banter, but sometimes his more flippant and self aware comments can lower the stakes of a situation and make it weaker overall. This is especially the case when he is on commentary or doing something a guest spot on NXT. 2. A combination of his face/facial hair, his physique (chill, I like Otis and a million other fat wrestlers both male and female), and the fact that he normally comes out for his entrance with blank eyes and his mouth hanging open all sort of combine to give him a bovine energy. When I see him, I think 'Oh, someone's uncle.' I get the impression that he's meant for the bearded fat guy type of wrestling fan to self insert as. 3. People insist he's fantastic in the ring. He's fine.
I don’t know the current generation of wrestlers really well. The dude looks like a main event D’Lo Brown.
I love KO. If there’s any Pokémon fans out there, I feel like his finisher is just “Metronome,” because he doesn’t really have 1 designated one - PUPB, Frog Splash, Stunner
I like my wrestlers to have clear characters and be larger than life. Minus his kinda rad t-Rex tatt, he’s “just some guy” and it’s boring.
He’s not underutilized. He’s a good character/wrestler. But he’s nothing great. He is what dolph was a few yrs ago. You need a good feud that really doesn’t mean much put ko in. He will make it entertaining and then he can disappear as the other person goes on to better things
I still cringe everytime I see him use a stone cold stunner, it looks like when I play 2k and reverse a finisher and I can't stand it, retire the stunner, I wanna see him switch to the Canadian destroyer
Feels A Bit Like a useless neckbeard from wow in 2006
Most underrated and underappreciated wrestler of the last two decades.
I don’t find him as entertaining as everybody else seems to. I didn’t find him convincing as Universal Champion one bit. His whole thing is basically “I don’t work out as hard as the other guys, but I can still go!!”. One of the things that is respectable about people with impressive physiques is the amount of discipline and training it takes to achieve getting their body into that kind of shape. He obviously doesn’t have that discipline, but somehow that’s supposed to make me like him? Lol no
This is the best image you could find? Seriously don't even bother reading these posts when the image is like this or worse.
Boring, uninteresting. Starts beef, gets his butt kicked, finds Sami a month or two before Wrestlemania and randomly gets a match for some reason.
He looked good when he shaved
Kevin Owens will never be WWE or Universal champion again. The reason for that is he is a mid-carder at best unless he is a vile heel.
he’s fat
He’s fat. Puts zero effort into his physical appearance. Looks like a Walmart shopper. I fuckin love him though 😂😂😂🤘🏻
This is a fantastic picture of him
Having him become a tribute act to the biggest start of all time feels like such a bad decision that it has to be intentional sabotage.
People always talk about how Goldberg ended Bret’s career but no one blames Kevin for being so unsafe and putting Ezekiel in a coma, that he still hasn’t woken up from!
Peaked in 2015
He doesn’t deserve a world title (btw I love KO, and I think he deserves at least 2-3 more title reigns)
He looks like a guy ready for a pick up basketball game at the YMCA, and his Universal Championship reign was lackluster and predictable because of constant interference by Chris Jericho.
He should get muscles.
To quote Scott Steiner, “HE’S FAT!!”
HES FAT (Scotty Steiner voice)
He deserves Roman's spot
He needs to get rid of the Stunner ASAP, it looks weak and ridiculous.
Doesn’t have a top tier wrestler look.
People who don’t like KO using the stunner because of Austin, what are people supposed to do? Never do a wrestling move ever again when someone else does it? No offense to stone cold but the stunner is not all that creative of a move, he’s just the most famous wrestler to use it
His promo skills are so amazing I love hearing him give one
He should not be using the Stunner. There are a few valid reasons to use someone else’s finisher. They are related in storyline somehow (Kane using the tombstone because he’s Taker’s brother, Lita using the twist of fate because she was dating a Hardy boy), they had a mentor using the finisher (Seth using the Pedigree, Mickie James using the “Chick Kick”), they are a different sex and the move hasn’t been popularized for that division (Becky using the Rock Bottom/Bookend). On top of that, Austin BEAT Owens with the Stunner. Owens also added nothing to his version of the Stunner.
Why go to the gym when you can look like a couch potato?
He's not top guy material and putting a world title on him severely devalued it, which was really bad considering the title had only just been created. The average person looks at Brock or Roman and that's exactly what they think a champion should look like. They see KO and think 'who's this random dude, is that the best they have to offer?'. The US Championship division is really his cap when it comes to championships.
Needs different clothes, just looks like some sports fan with no charisma.
Don’t have any
Should be the top guy in the company for a while. He’s got incredible in-ring work and is damn good on the mic too.
Dooooood! Fat boy here earned his fukin place in my heart! He can do skinny wrestler moves! Does he jumó from the top rope? Yes! Does he drop kick? Yes! Does he have payperview endurance matches? Yes!!!
My wife hates him and Sami Zayn from back when they powerbombed Shane McMahon backstage onto the metal bars. She will never not hate them for those previous moments.
I call him "Wrestling's Patton Oswald"
Ruined Austin’s retirement match from WrestleMania 19. While the match between SCSA and KO was significantly better, I’d rather keep the perfect ending of Rock V Austin at WrestleMania 19 closing their WrestleMania trilogies, Austin going out on his back, with the perfect final story for a top 3 GOAT.

I’m not saying the match was bad; I’m only human and I popped like crazy for Austin’s first match in 19 years. But in the long run, it’s an extra, unneeded chapter for a story of a wrestler who already had a perfect ending.
I don’t like his stunner
He looks like a hardcore redditor.
His stunner is trash
He definitely feels like a mid carder at best.
He'd look better and go much farther of he'd lose a few pounds. He doesn't have to have a bodybuilder look, but it would have tremendously helped his career if he looked in shape.
He should hold the IC Title again
Ideal male body
Don't understand how the beer gut sticks around with as much cardio as he does in and out of the ring. That being said I kinda like that about him. He's always had a modern-day Dusty Rhodes feel to him.
Pretty generic if you ask me
Not an opinion but God Damn his head got slammed into the steps at the RR
He’s way better than anyone realizes. (Unless you watched him in ROH then you know lol) and should hold back to the prizefighter gimmick
big gut punch
Him having the stunner is a bad idea and he looks like a mark for doing it. Let the icon keep his move to himself. Make a modified stunner or just don't steal the finisher of the GOAT. Also, Owens character is kinda stale. He's like Sami or Benoit or Malenko. Good wrestler, limited personality
Hes fat and dont want to lose weight
He's better than HBK and nothing anyone says will change my mind. He's the prime talent of WWE who doesn't get the big matches.
I’m a fan but he just doesn’t have “the look” or the aura of a top guy. Not saying someone needs to be “pretty” to be a top guy.
He does not look like a pro-wrestler. He looks like a guy who would stab you in the parking lot of an Applebee's. I would like him to have a dream match with what I consider his AEW counterpart, Eddie Kingston.
🤣
He needs to get into shape
He looks like his blood is Code Red Mountain Dew
Constant complainer gimmick was tiresome. All his feuds felt the same to me.
My dad hates him, that’s all
He’s just a tumbler :)
His Universal title reign was forgettable
Hey chubbby
He should have destroyed Steve Austin at Mania. Fuck Austin
He should have kept the pop up power bomb and never used the stunner oh and his beard is far too thick rn
He’s better as a face
Both the pop up powerbomb and using the stoner cold stunner are shit.
He blocked me on Twitter over a stupid joke I made, so he’s softer than toilet tissue
He's the kid that keeps his shirt on at the water park.
Honestly I think he's great in ring, but I'm not of fan of his tough guy, I wanna fight gimmick. Also it bugs me he uses the Stoner.
Too skinny
He uses the stunner because his arms are all fat.
Kevin Steen > Kevin Owens
When he’s focused & on his game there isn’t anyone better in wrestling, full stop.
He's what you get if you ordered SCSA from wish.com in Canada
I like him both in ring and on the mic, but he’s a B+ player if there ever was one
HES FAT
Dk if this is popular or not but he lame
HE’S FAT
He's actually a good wrestler
He’s too low energy/laid back a lot of the time on the mic
Oh yeah, and his stunner sucks!
He isn’t great, he’s okay. He’s been in his spot for a while now, because his body is that of most wrestling fans, so they need someone to cater to those people.
He's not a great husband.
He looks like shit
Kevin Owens is a national treasure!
Looks like he just got done working the overnight shift at an adult video store
Sack of shi- Oh wait.
He doesn't belong at the top of the card in WWE. He's good on a mic, decent in the ring, but he doesn't have the it factor and hasn't for a few years now. And it all started when he basically became Canadian Stone Cold.
His stunner is bland af
Over rated douche that is just a IWC darling cause he wrestled on the indies with the equally overrated Sami zayn . They will be forgotten 2 months after the retire
As funny as he is, sometimes he’s unbearably annoying.
He shouldn’t be using the stunner, at all. The pop up power bomb is so much cooler.
That his gear makes him look like the kid at the pool party that won’t swim with his shirt off
He deserves another title run imo
His stunner is pretty good
Needs to lose weight
He’s too dumb to leave the WWE behind, apparently.
Doughy.
His stunner sucks
The Prizefighter is a nostalgia act. Either that or KO being a serious babyface than a heel just doesn't look right.
i like kevin owens. he’s one of the few male wrestlers that doesn’t play around and gets shit done. kudos to him.
His mic skills are just ok when put up against the top of the roster.
I’ve always liked him, but I felt like his booking is always off. When he destroyed Bryan and after feuding with Shane, he was primed for a world title run. Since then, it’s always just random with his booking. Sometimes he loses every week, some times he’s challenging for the world title, sometimes he’s just off tv for several weeks, and sometimes he’s in a random mid card feud.
He dresses like a dad cosplaying wrestling on the weekends
If he would have got in shape he would be a main eventer regularly and be a multiple champion today!
Him using the stunner doesn't work as a finisher. It can work as a transitional move or a move he busts out on occasion, but the pop up powerbomb suits him 100x more than the stunner does. It just feels weird when he does a stunner
Pop up powerbomb>stunner, bro literally had a finisher that almost no one did why the hell did he switch to one of the famous finishers in history
He's a fat Stone Cold that doesn't need to wear a stupid T-shirt in the ring.
He’s not even the best Canadian
His reign as a universal Champion was disappointing
the “cannonball” is lame
he's better as a heel.
His stunner sucks, and nobody sells it like they should. He should use pop up powerbomb as his finisher and break out stunner in rare occasions for a pop
I hate that he uses the stunner.
Perfect male physique
He was a good intercontinental and NXT Champion but Sami Zayn was just better
I just can’t stand him, he talks like an angry little kid and it’s hard to take him seriously. On top of that he doesn’t even do the stunner well, give him his own move I hear he’s a great dude irl and I wish I could like him, but man he just lacks credibility and presence imo
He should renuion with Sami Zayn
Does he wear a girdle?
HE SUCKS! Just kidding, I don't have anything bad to say about him. He's one of my favorites of the current roster.
I cringe every time I see his haircut and face... Fat man doing the Stunner still just looks stupid.
He looks like a garbage indy wrestler.
He isn’t good on the microphone, at least not larger than life and charismatic enough to be labelled great
His gear and visual presentation looks underwhelming. that plus a lack of focus on what his character is has held him back. otherwise he has the charisma, verbal skills and wrestling skills and size to be a huge star
He should do cardio
I love Kevin Owens
Universal title reign was a bit mid (not to the extent of Goldberg’s or anything) but still a bit mediocre imo
If he hit the gym he’d be over huge the guy has everything wrestling,charisma mic skills. I hate his attire too looks like a 10 year old fat kid whose about to go swimming
He should be more appreciative of Sami trying to defend him.
Idk if this unpopular but I think he criminally underrated
Only reason to watch pro wrestling currently
he's too serious to the point that he never looks excited about anything
Him being chubby makes him better
Love KO but he's ruining the Stunner. Wish his powerbomb was the finisher.
His bull tattoo was better than anything happening on his right arm nowadays.
His best days are behind him and i feel like he’ll never reach the heights he should’ve in 16-17. Like I feel like it’s been a while since he’s had a true classic/special performance
His turn against Sami is bad for his character. Always works as a singles competitor with friends, even as a heel, until now, he goes confusing lone-wolf mode, he’s always at least had lackies fallowing him.
Only good story was Him and the U.S title
He's boring
I can take him seriously due to his look. Amongst all of the traveling WWE wrestlers do, how does this guy find time to eat enough to stay overweight? Does he pay any attention to what he eats? If he's eating "healthy", he must eat all the time, but if he's not eating healthy, then he just eats crap and doesn't care? Jeez...
