(Part 1) WWE NXT Kevin Steen Oct 2014

[@DGenerationMC]

Fitz and the Tantrums playing in the background....too awesome.

[@theJKA]

He was wearing this Zayn shirt in preparation of attacking his friend Sami. I cant believe this guy.

[@jvarsallone]

All part of the hype I guess -- even back then.

[@uncensored008]

***** Sami's dead. :(

[@shtembyduelsson]

Steen vs. Ambrose is gonna be the greatest rivalry of this generation! :D

[@justessllaydon9685]

No.

[@BrandonYelvertonBITW]

Yes!!!

[@justessllaydon9685]

No

[@shtembyduelsson]

Justes Sllaydon Yes! :)

[@justessllaydon9685]

No

[@rustymcbadbat]

Seven months later, he is the NXT champion and one of the best heels ever. Couldn't have happened to a better guy

[@mhendry1888]

His voice is so similar to Zayn's as well!

[@Jack_Tilstone]

Woah, not only does he sound like sami he has similar mannerisms as well! Excited to see what he can do!

[@TiciTotyTony]

Lol Him and El Generico (Sami Zayn) are brothers 4 Life

[@thepunk1019]

Generico is in Mexico with the orphans

[@Booma151676]

Winds of Change by Fitz and the Tantrums in the background made this very cool.

[@jvarsallone]

That's the music they were playing while setting up. They also play music during the meet-n-greet with fans. Music is big part of sports entertainment.

[@replicatedmartyr]

I think that bit about him and Sami not being close was the perfect work setup for their NXT feud

[@mrandrewbowman]

Saw this guy on raw last night. High expectations for him.

[@nickcopley5646]

The Future World Heavyweight Champion, Kevin Owens!!

[@thecastleofenlightenment2604]

best indie wrestlers out there!!! WWE fans get ready this is what you've been missing!!!

[@siamiam]

great interview

[@Peenpapiii]

6 years later he’s leaving in 2022.

[@dravenquinn264]

I might be wrong or not but I’m calling it now February 9th 2022 Kevin Steen debuts in AEW either in the Owen Hart tournament or he saves Adam Cole and The Young Bucks from a beatdown.

[@Tobykiethfan996]

He sounds like Sami Zayn

[@BrendanSlob]

both from Montreal and of course former tag team and traveling partners.

[@Tobykiethfan996]

KevinLove3030 oh thats col i didnt know that. Im from toronto

[@BrendanSlob]

Im glad to help. Yea look up El Generico and Kevin Steen. In Generico's final ROH match before leaving for NXT he had an absolute war against Steen for the ROH title..Fantastic Ladder Match. BTW: Go Wolves,Go Wiggins!!

[@Tobykiethfan996]

awesome i will look it up and not a wiggins fan, I am a Minnesota fan but they're not my favorite team. A Lot more of a Bulls fan and Go Glenn Robinson III!!! I went to high school with him

[@BrendanSlob]

Nice! GR3 should be a 2nd round steal for us!

[@shtembyduelsson]

I love how he's wearing his former rival's shirt! :D

[@shtembyduelsson]

And future rival's as well. I think they're really destined to do this forever...

[@14352rocker]

Future WWE World Heavyweight Champ!

[@SuperDragonRED]

Imagine Super Dragon in NXT or even LuFisto that shit would warp the WWE

[@ashtonthornton912]

The best chance they would have of being in nxt would be if they were trainers or something

[@SuperDragonRED]

Ashton thornton Sad but more than likely true

[@SuperDragonRED]

***** Everything you said is true and yes her thick body type is super hawt

[@Assenayo]

El Generico (Sami Zayn) & Kevin Steen were a great team that had great matches with other great teams i.e. The Briscoes, Age of the Fall, and the American Wolves. And they had even better matches together. One question is why hasn't WWE signed Jimmy Jacobs yet? The "Zombie Princess" is one of the most entertaining figures out there.

[@thepunk1019]

That's what I'm saying I think jimmy want to keep getting better even though he is one of the best WRESTLERS in the world

[@coleminer123]

Too short and has nothing that could really get him over, he's not getting any younger and has gotten worse since that cage match with BJ.

[@Headbanger142]

He's signed now, unfortunately as part of Adam Rose's "party group".

[@thecastleofenlightenment2604]

jimmy jacovs is too small for the wwe, they want to refocus on signing bigger guys again.

[@thecastleofenlightenment2604]

***** well for some reason as long as you are under a mask it's ok. Also Kalisto is very built jimmy jacobs isn't

[@brandoncabiness7372]

Steen is pretty cool

[@MusicKnowledge1]

Grim's twin

[@joekori6998]

Sami Zayn shirt lol

[@kidkrasher]

Can anyone discern what song is playing in the background at the beginning of the video?

[@TheCMTruth]

Now he will be known as KEVIN OWENS - btw cool name

[@gettingbigforskinny]

It not a cool name .but its not bad name like fin balor

[@jamesvarsallone7381]

gettingbigforskinny If that is going to be his NXT name, I think it's cool because of the people it represents.

[@gettingbigforskinny]

***** it not a bad name but should of left to kevin steen cuz he built that name

[@jamesvarsallone7381]

gettingbigforskinny I know. WWE often changes the names so they can copyright/trademark them. Strictly business. If it is his NXT name, though, do you know where it's from?

[@gettingbigforskinny]

***** na i dont where it from

[@fuscinula]

Funny to see him shake hands with Triple H on a few photos. Here's a man called Steen who's a Francophone, with an Anglophone called Levesque...

[@RVDRULEZ413]

Did he finish high school

[@alucard6151]

Let me see Chris Hero was known as Kassius Ohno in nxt now kevin steen will be known as kevin Owens both have our KO maybe a nod to chris from kevin ?

[@jvarsallone]

It's about Kevin's son and Owen Hart.

[@twitch8643]

Rusev was in NXT everybody who starts out in the wwe has to go to NXT or OCW Now-A-Days wrestlers like Daniel Brian, Sami Zayn, etc. etc. etc. but I see where your getting at cause he wrestled for years in ROH and you're right they should push him up to the regular roster

[@sayElectronica]

Wait Sami Zayn and Kevin Steen/Owens have beef? Is this kayfabe or do they actually hold some type of resentment for each other? (+)

[@MrPainlayer69]

sayElectronica its all in the work man

[@XplosionMMA]

He has manerisms of Sami Zayn, really bizzare!

[@Abaudahdine]

They've been best friends for years.

[@kalebbennett7706]

Abaudahdine Don't forget they were great rivals too

[@Assenayo]

***** Kevin Steen & El Generico was one of those matches that rivals that time CM Punk & Samoa Joe wrestled the 60 minute time limit.

[@T1memaster]

I hope they keep him as a heel

[@nelly6695]

Is he good on the mic?

[@williedixon1990]

Very good

[@kalebbennett7706]

Hopefully WWE dosen't fuck this up

[@jvarsallone]

Kaleb Bennett It's a two-way street between the company and talent. A wrestler makes it in WWE when he and the company are on the same page, and fans react. Fans react. If he or she makes it, the credit goes to both. If he or she doesn't, the blame is to both.

[@kalebbennett7706]

As a pro wrestler I understand

[@VanceKauffman]

Watch his Hell Rising DVD it's a dvd of his from ROH very good matches.

[@7SlXERS]

All we need to know is when steen runs into zayn who is gonna throw the first punch

[@nyce6113]

Well your question has been answered.

[@uria702]

Just don't forget what happened to Chris Hero. HHH will push Steen to get into shape and that may be something that holds him back. They may not want him to debut on NXT before he gets into shape.

[@koolpopjones6499]

True that. But they did keep Bray Wyatt so you never know.

[@jvarsallone]

My opinion, if Chris Hero brought something more to the table, like Bray Wyatt (btw, who is a bit husky) did, then Chris Hero may have been Cesaro, Dean Ambrose, Rollins, Daniel Bryan. It's more about branding and character development, but what people need to understand is it's a two-way street. Everyone is always quick to blame creative and management, when in some cases, it's the talent. I don't know if that was the case with Chris Hero, but you have to look/get both sides of the story.

[@uria702]

Wyatt's family works closely with WWE so it would make sense that he would be given more flexibility than random indy wrestler. The thing is that it is the standard that you have to look at. Hero is a great wrestler. Listen to his shoot. He was cut because of how he is built. Physical conditioning is more important in WWE now than it ever has been before. Just something to keep in mind before one wet's themselves over this dude debuting.

[@jvarsallone]

Synapse2k I agree Bray and Bo would get a longer look, but if it doesn't work, they will be released. Look at Wes Brisco. His father, Gerald, is a right hand man, so to speak, for the company, and Wes was let go. Richie Steamboat another. Chris Hero is a really good wrestler, but there are many good wrestlers in this paradox. You're talking a very small percentage in WWE/NXT, compared to how many overall wrestlers nationally and internationally. The odds of making it are extremely low. If that's his view, I would still like to hear what WWE has to say about it, too. I doubt they will, but a person can try to get an answer.

[@uria702]

Yeah. It will definitely be interesting to see these guys come up in WWE and who else WWE brings into NXT

[@oscar3114mike]

InZayn shirt? What a smark! /s

[@Stubbla]

+Agung Syahputra they are friends ... Kevin STEEN and el Genericho were in ROH together........ FYI ZAYN IS GENERICHO, THEY BEEN MATES FOR YEARS

[@oscar3114mike]

What are you saying? El Generico is dead in Mexico and Kevin Steen is currently serving his time in prison /s

[@Stubbla]

Agung Syahputra LMFAO

[@theinfamousmrsleep]

I have a feeling that Steen is gonna cost Adrian Neville the NXT Championship and Steen and Zayn are gonna team-up.

[@payasoloco6282]

Of course Kevin isn't that close with Zayn he's close with El Generico, what ever happen with Generico who knows but Sami apparently knew Kevin as well, has Kevin ever got Generico and Zayn to be friends.... it be nice I KNOW I KNOW THE JOKE WAS DRAGGED ON

[@WWEMasterLucky1994]

PushCesaro

[@Venom8419]

Type in Harlem shake fat guy and tell me that isn't Steen?

[@thecastleofenlightenment2604]

best indie wrestlers out there!!! WWE fans get ready this is what you've been missing!!!
