WWE News: WWE Hall Of Famer Takes Shot At Kevin Owens On Twitter, Owens Responds

Kevin Owens isn’t exactly the prototypical WWE superstar. His physique and overall look has been criticized by some, but his work in the ring and on the microphone speaks for itself, and there’s no doubt that he belongs in the main-event scene in WWE.

Unfortunately, there are some people who can’t see the forest through the trees, and no matter what Owens does, they’ll always criticize his look, and WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash is one of those people as Nash took a shot at Owens on Twitter Monday night.

Kevin Owens. Two questions guys want to be him? Ladies want to be with him? Twitter world vote

Nash’s point of view is an old-school mentality, as wrestling promoters used to — and sometimes still do — choose their next top guy based on the two questions Nash asked. As a matter of fact, Nash’s push to the top of WWE in the mid-90’s was directly related to Vince McMahon believing the answer to those two questions was yes as it related to Nash.

Owens almost immediately responded to Nash’s tweet, but apparently, Nash had blocked Owens before he was able to send out his response.

In the past, Nash has admitted that he’ll call people out just to “stir things up.” Back in 2010, Nash blasted Wade Barrett during an interview with RF Video. Several months later, Nash returned to WWE as his mid-90’s character Diesel and entered the Royal Rumble match where he was eliminated by Wade Barrett. After the event, Nash admitted that he was “working an angle” during the interview and that having Barrett eliminate him was “poetic justice.”

“I watched the WWE product, and I knew that I could draw money with Wade. So, I said whatever I could to instill interest. Amazing, I talked all that s**t. And of the 40 guys in the Royal Rumble, the one person that I disrespected the most was the one that eliminated me. Poetic justice. God I love it.”

There’s a possibility that Nash is attempting to do the same thing with Owens, but it’s unlikely that there will ever be a Kevin Owens vs. Kevin Nash match in the future.

In regards to Nash criticizing Owens’ look and thinking that he shouldn’t be a top guy because of it — WWE has had heavy-set guys be main-eventers in the past. Vader, Yokozuna, Dusty Rhodes, and Mark Henry never quite looked like Hercules, but they all were — at some point in their careers — main-eventers.
