Ring of Honour star, Cheeseburger uploaded a question on Twitter asking:

“Who was the first ‘name’ you wrestler that was so good you realized how little you truly know, and helped you step your game up?”

Several wrestlers took the time to answer the question including Owens, who wrote:

“There’s a lot of them but the most memorable one to me isn’t even someone I wrestled. Back in 2005, I watched @mrbriankendrick’s match at an ROH show I was also on and was so blown away by how good he was that I’m pretty sure I told @SamiZayn I was going to quit wrestling!”

He followed his answer with another tweet adding a few more names into the list of wrestlers who made him rethink his entire existence.

“The first one was @facdaniels in 2004,” Owens wrote. “Poor Chris! Then, throughout the years, @StevenCorino, @findevan, @supercima1115, @ringfox1, @LondonFU and @OfficialPWG’s Super Dragon are all guys that made me rethink my entire existence after I had the chance to wrestle them.”

Owens is currently tangled in a storyline with Seth Rollins. He faced Buddy Murphy at the Kick Off show to Extreme Rules and won. With Rollins’ storyline wrapped up with Rey Mysterio, it is likely that the two will now go head to head.
