WWE News: WWE Superstar Kevin Owens recently discussed the chance of his son getting into the business in the same way that he did.
Speaking to Inside The Ropes, Owens noted that his son, Owen (named after the legendary Hart Family member), just does not have the same passion for pro wrestling that he had growing up.
“He’s not passionate like I am. He doesn’t eat it like I did. I was living, breathing wrestling 24/7 when I was his age. He’s not like that, but he likes it,” Kevin noted (via WrestlingINC). He likes sitting with me and watching classic matches that I choose to [show] him. And whenever he gets to come [watch] live, obviously he appreciates everything. He wants to try, he wants to start training. I’m in no rush.
“He’s 16. I started when I was 14, and while I’m thankful for all the experience, it was probably too early. He can take his time. He’s just turned 16, He’s six-foot-seven around 280 [pounds] and he’s still growing I think. I think if he wants to he has the tools to have a pretty good career if he were to choose [do to so].”
WWE News: Could Kevin Owens’ Son Start Wrestling
Following in the footsteps of your parents isn’t exactly something new in wrestling, especially when you look at the WWE roster these days.
Charlotte Flair, Ava, Dominik Mysterio, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, The Rock…they’re all performers whose parents (and in some examples, Grandparents) were active in-ring, and looking specifically at someone like Dominik, have been pretty successful over the past few years.
Whether we’ll see Owen step in the ring with Kevin Owens remains to be seen, but he certainly has the stature at six foot seven, something ironically his dad does not have.
