#3 Explosiveness in the ring
While being a good talker is extremely important in order to pull off such a rebellious character, one has to have an equally explosive approach inside the squared circle in order to make a real impact.
Stone Cold Steve Austin might not have been the most technically gifted wrestler by the time the Attitude era rolled in, but he was pretty explosive in the ring. That allowed him to add a sense of urgency to his character, adding layers to his already formidable arsenal. A similar approach is being adopted by Owens.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
Owens has always been a great performer inside the ring. He might be quite large in size but he is very athletic and uses his body incredibly well to punish is opponents.
The way he executes the cannonball is a work of art and his aggression in the ring makes him the perfect man for his new role. An added bonus: he now uses Austin’s Stunner as his finisher during his rivalry with Shane.
