During a recent appearance on the “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” podcast, WWE Superstar Kevin Owens commented on the moment that made him a big Owen Hart fan, why he gravitated towards Owen, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the moment that made him an Owen Hart fan: “So I have a brother that’s 10 years older than me, and as brothers do, we’d fight a lot when we were kids. Because he was 10 years older than me, he was a lot stronger than me. So he always won, let’s put it that way. So when I was younger I couldn’t help but have a bit of a resentment towards him, which is not the case. I love him.”
On why he gravitated towards Owen: “I rented all the tapes, and I believe it was a Royal Rumble of that same year, Bret’s wrestling Diesel, and in the match, he tries to tie Diesel’s legs up with the camera wires, and to me, that’s cheating, he’s cheating. This is terrible. Why is he cheating? Then Owen comes into frame to try to fight Bret. To me, I’m like, ‘Yeah, that’s the right thing to do, trying to keep him from cheating.’ He’s the younger brother trying to fight off the older brother.”
On how the dynamic reminded him of him and his older brother: “It was like the dynamic between me and my older brother and him and his older brother is what made me like him at first, and then obviously he’s an incredible wrestler and very charismatic, very entertaining.”
