I just wanted to take a moment to give credit to Kevin Owens this year. I feel like his work gets overlooked sometimes but the dude has been incredible in 2016. He's had great matches on every PPV except Fastlane. Seriously, his Last Man Standing match with Ambrose at the Rumble was great, his two singles matches with Zayn were awesome, as was the Fatal Four Way at Extreme Rules and the multi-man ladder matches at Mania and MITB. He also kills it on the mic weekly, gets some of the best reactions on a weekly basis and now, his dynamic with Chris Jericho is one of the most entertaining things on a weekly basis.
Let's all appreciate just how great he is.

8 years ago I would have never thought he would make it in WWE. Didn't like him that much. That all changed when I realized that this dude literally doesn't even have to try and he's better than 80% of the roster. He transitioned beautifully into the WWE scene.

He's great at everything he does. He makes even the most simple of things entertaining to watch. He's a future champion for sure.
He is like the voice and personality of the IWC, it's hilarious.

I love Owens.. the guy has it all. Great in the ring, has great matches, naturally funny guy, and he's great on the mic.

I've seen a lot more of his indie work, but I really enjoy him.
Great talent to have.

There's no doubt he's a great talent, but I don't like him. Now his tag team partner, Jericho is a whole different story. I can't get enough of Jericho.

I never watched him in NXT or on the indies so i can say since he's been on the main roster he has grown tremendously on me. I love his Mic work and like you said he's had some good matches. I feel sometimes he gets a little stale in the ring but who doesn't in WWE?

Owens is a guy who takes whatever is given to him and absolutely knocks it out of the park. He's overachieving every single time he's prominently featured on television, and I love it. He's talented enough to overcome the stigma surrounding his body type and has become one of the most crucial foils to babyface that they have on the roster. He's become a backbone type of guy in a very short amount of time, and those guys are invaluable.
He's going to make a really interesting babyface one day, too, it's sort of his natural disposition even though he does such an incredible job at playing the villain.
Just an interesting thought, but if Conor McGregor ever decides to venture on over to WWE and work a match or two, I think Kevin Owens would be the wisest choice to be his opponent. He's not too big, but he can play the bully. He's one of the few guys who could hold his own against Conor on the microphone, and he's not a guy who would be tremendously damaged by doing the job in that situation. Not to mention, it'd put a ton of mainstream attention on him.

Dude needs be elevated to the main event. ASAP. He more than deserves it at this point. He's delivered EVERY single night since debuting. The eventual KO/Jericho feud is going to be insanely good. If Balor wins the belt on Sunday, KO should be getting a main event spot in no time. I can't ing wait until that happens.

I've been a fan of his since the Steenerico tag team days. He's freaking fantastic and I hope he becomes a main event player by the end of the year.

It's refreshing to see someone say something like this. It gets really old when simply becuase someone doesn't like aomeone, they treat them like they're a talentless hack. I highly applaud your post.

Love him! If I had to decide my personal MVP's of the WWE, Owens would be a runner for the top spot. His feud with Zayn has been one of the highlights over the last few years. The guy bleeds gold.
Plus we both named our sons the same thing for the exact same reason, so that's pretty cool IMO.

Kevin Owens is fantastic. Sheer brilliance. Here's the thing.. I didn't have a ing clue who he was before NXT. Even then, he was a fat dude in basketball shorts. I wasn't a big fan of his talking, either. But that guy has 100% won me over. I love his character, his talking and his matches. He can seriously be a top heel commentator all-time after he's done in the ring. He is just one hell of a talent. I love Kevin Owens.

Kevin Owens has been and continues to be awesome! Deserves to be a Future World/Universal Champion.

Kevin Owens is, in my mind, unquestionably the most talented all-around performer in the roster. He wrestles exciting, smartly-paced and laid-out matches that both surprise and often tell a compelling and satisfying story. He cuts great promos that aren't solely used to get himself over; he puts over opponents on the mic and gets me invested in matches. Most of all, he is the standout improvisational performer who reaches both at-home and in-arena audiences.
I hope 2017 is the year WWE gives him the ball and let's him run with it. I think he could be a next-level heel that elevates the entire company, a la 1998-99 Rock and 00-01 Triple H.

Let's all take a second to appreciate that despite not being a huge guy he can hit his finish on ANYONE in the company.
I mean come on he's done it to MARK HENRY two times on TV with no problem.
That is just another small part of what makes KO so great.
