6) Steve Austin is a big influence in his life
Before signing with WWE, Owens appeared on Stone Cold Steve Austin’s podcast last year. After telling Austin what an honor it was to be speaking with him, Owens told a story of a chance meeting with Austin more than 10 years ago that shaped him into the wrestler that he is today.
Owens ran into Austin at an airport, and the two struck up a short conversation about wrestling. As Austin left, Owens asked him for any advice. Austin said, “Never stop running your mouth, kid.” And Kevin never did.
Owens promos are different than anybody else in the business. He speaks with such fire and passion without a filter to keep in check that it sometimes backfires turning out to be humorous. Owens is a natural on the mic and it’s this promo style of his that has endeared him to his fans.
