Since arriving on the WWE main roster about two months ago, Kevin Owens has been on fire. As a matter of fact, he’s putting in better performances than basically everyone else on the roster, and in turn, he’s rightfully been recognized by a lot of people for that. The latest person to throw some praise his way was none other than Mick Foley.
The main similarity between Foley and Owens is the fact that they’ve managed to make a pretty good career in the wrestling business despite not having what you would call a “traditional” look. They’re not going to go inside a gym and tear it up anytime soon, but rest assured that when they get in that ring, they’re going to tear that up the likes of which you’ve never seen before.
In a recent Facebook post, Foley noted the similarities in body type, and he believes that when all is said and done, Owens will be remembered more than him in terms of guys that don’t look like body builders who still managed to become a star.
"So does Foley fear Owens? In a way. I’m afraid that when wrestling’s history book is written and the topic of top wrestlers with unorthodox body types is discussed, that my name will no longer be first on the list!"
Wow, there’s really not much more you can ask for if you’re Owens. Having someone the caliber of Mick Foley say something like that, as well as some of the other things that he said in the lengthy post, is something that you really take to heart.
But, again, in the short time that he’s been on the WWE roster, he’s earned every bit of love that he’s getting from legends past.
