Jim Cornette, qui a oeuvré comme producteur en chef et “booker” principal de Ring of Honor, a exprimé ses opinions sur Kevin Owens lors du Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast.
Il soutient que Owens réussit bien car il a changé sa manière de voir les choses en tant que lutteur. Cornette croyait autrefois que Owens n’avait pas l’attitude requise pour être un champion car il n’aimait pas se faire suggérer de perdre du poids ou faire quelques ajustements dans le ring. Cornette mentionne qu’Owens a maintenant compris qu’à la WWE, il faut être à l’écoute des conseils de ses patrons.
“[Owens] is fulfilling his potential now because he has changed the way he thought about being told to do things by his employer,” Cornette said. “I always knew he had the talent to [be successful in the WWE]. Christ, we made him the Ring of Honor World Champion for a year. He was undefeated. But the problem is, I didn’t think he had the attitude to do it. When we asked him to lose weight, when we asked him to take time off and come back with a different look and a different push, when we asked him to do a match a certain way or anything a certain way, there was so much argument and push back and refusal and not producing any of those things, et cetera, that I thought, basically, when he went to Florida [NXT], either he, the WWE, or both, would need a psychiatrist within 90 days. But, he, apparently, he is never going to be svelte, and we didn’t want that, we wanted him to not be obese, to lose a little weight and he [has] done that. His [ring] gear may not look any more professional, but at least it is cleaner. And what’s more, he, apparently, is doing what he is asked to do instead of going into business for himself or arguing about anything, whether it be inside of the ring or outside of the ring”.
Cornette en a profité pour parler de Sami Zayn, l’ex-El Generico de Ring of Honor. Il indique que Zayn n’aimait pas qu’on lui suggère d’enlever son masque, d’apprendre à parler au micro et de s’adonner au bronzage.
“[Zayn] got mad at me because I always said that his selling was impeccable and he was an amazing athlete, he was very strong for his frame, and he was a wonderful babyface in the ring. I said he needed to ditch the silly mask and the goofy gimmick, he needed to learn to speak and do interviews, and try to get a tan even though his is a red-headed, ginger Muslim from Montreal. I said, ‘then you will find mainstream success, my son,’ and he thought I was crazy.”

La populaire équipe de NXT Enzo Amore et Big Cass a participé, samedi soir, à un gala de la WWE à Odessa en compagnie de Carmella. Le duo a vaincu The Ascension.
Il semble que Amore et Cass ont reçu une bonne réaction de la foule.
Cette équipe, qui a été impliquée récemment dans une rivalité avec Wesley Blake et Buddy Murphy, à NXT, pourrait joindre prochainement le personnel régulier de la WWE.
