Ok want to get others opinions but am I the only one who doesn't get what all the hype was about Kevin Owens
ring skills: OK
Attire: amateur
Mic skills: amateur
I really see him as mediocre at best and think he comes across very amateurish in appearance.
Considering all the hype I was really rather surprised.
Interested to hear both sides (prepares for bashing)

In ring: well above average
On the mic: well above average
It's not always about your looks man, the guy hasn't had a bad match since joining the company

Yeah, I would respectfully disagree with your assessment of his skills, and I think that's where the disparagement is coming from.
To me, he's above average in the ring, especially given his size and body type. His mic skills are improving, but already better than a large portion of the roster, and finally, he's got a unique look.

I'm not his biggest fan, but I think he's just fine.

Very solid in the ring. Fantastic on the microphone. A character completely unique to anyone else on the current roster. Owens can, and will, be a huge star. He has everything that it takes and then some.

I like him because he's different than the grain. He's unique. And I love his old school approach of making everyone hate him. He's not just feuding with Cesaro. He's also feuding with Cena, Balor, & Samoa Joe simultaneously. Even other heels like Sheamus & Rusev hate the guy. He's just born to make enemies and he makes no apologizes about it.

I like him, because he comes off as a real bad guy to me. I think he's the best heel WWE has right now, Rollins would be second.

Fun fact: John Cena is 12-1 in matches (including house shows) against Kevin Owens. We saw the the only time he beat John live.
Nevertheless, I'm confident Owens can bounce back from the feud. He's got a quality dude in Cesaro to get him back on track. To have them go three PPVs would be fantastic. Owens is one of the better mic men currently in WWE. He's better at getting stronger heat than our WWE Champion, and he does a better job than 95% of the speaking roster when it comes to delivering his lines in order to convey a message. His matches are always entertaining, from his squashes to his close contests. He's one of the best assets WWE has today.

Personally I love the guy. His in ring approach is way different than anything else I've seen in the last couple of years. The whole stealing finishers thing and pulling off moves you wouldn't expect from a guy built like him. it's awesome. His mic skills may not rank up there as one of the best of all time but he's definitely at the above average end of the spectrum in the current WWE. Which you can't really say about too many guys. Personally the only people I've seen who hate his look are fans who are accustomed to the larger than life monsters of the past. Not everyone has to look a certain way to be good. He's proven that.

He can go int he ring, very agile and athletic for his size, plays the heel extremely well. I am definitely a fan.

I agree he isn't all that. For some reason he was a big deal since his debut. He is an ok wrestler and doesn't look in good shape and yet is very athletic. I guess it is because of that as he is relatable, like Daniel Bryan. He is funny though. I don't really want him to be a big star, he should stay IC/US title range IMO. I don't even see the Daniel Bryan hype.

I like him because he doesn't have great heel promo skills but he still makes me want to hate him because his character is such a dick. He also beat cena clean so that got me excited.

I love Owens. He just has that everyday man vibe, doing what he does for his family. Also, his girl is hot.

I'm beginning to not like him, every time I see him, he looks shorter and fatter. That beard looks like crap too. I just can't take him seriously. Standing next to Cesaro he looks like.. Well he looks like what he is. A guy that doesn't belong in a wwe ring,
