Kevin Owens is known for his witty quips, and at one time his Twitter game was quite strong. But the former Universal Champion has toned things down on social media considerably, and he recently explained why on Booker T’s Hall of Fame podcast.
Owens noted that he’s read his fair share of negative things that have been said about him, but he’s taken it upon himself to block people who say bad things about his friends.
“I’m like, ‘I don’t want these people to have access to me.’ It’s not just Roman as it’s so many people. The Young Bucks are friends of mine and I was tagged in a tweet where this guy was talking about he hopes The Young Bucks break their neck. Then you’re not a fan. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like them, to wish that on someone, I want no part of that,” said Owens before adding that the same fan who wished The Bucks broke their necks once asked him for an autograph at an airport to which Owens said no.
That’s the kind of stuff that has driven me from social media. I still use it once in a while and I like posting about my family. But I try to keep wrestling out of it because I don’t enjoy that part of it. Everybody’s got an opinion and everybody thinks their opinion is important, but I don’t care for it in that way.”
