WWE legend reveals why he's a big fan of Kevin Owens (Exclusive)

Kevin Owens’ work as a heel continues to draw praise from fans, peers, and industry legends. The Prizefighter had WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura sing his praises at Saturday Night’s Main Event. It seems Owens is quite high on the list of heels for another wrestling legend.

Speaking on a recent edition of Live Q&A, JBL was asked if Kevin Owens is in the top ten best heels of the modern era. The former WWE Champion said Owens might be the top heel before mentioning some major heels not signed to the promotion.

“You know, top ten heels. Of course he is. He may be the top heel. I don’t know. There’s some great heels out there, some really good ones. There’s a guy in the TNA, Frankie Kazarian. I think he’s fantastic. You know, I think MJF has done well.”

He continued:

“There’s a lot of great heels out there. Randy Orton, when he is a heels to me is different level, I mean different level. I saw Del Rio down in Mexico and I know that, you know, that’s kind of a hot button name, but that guy’s one of the best heels I’ve ever seen.” [33:15 onwards]
