Kevin Owens Says It Feels As Though There Is No Independent Scene In Wrestling Anymore

In an interview with Cody Rhodes for What Do You Want To Talk About (via Fightful, Kevin Owens expressed his belief that there almost isn’t an independent scene in wrestling anymore. Although he clarified that he feels that way because he doesn’t follow it and doesn’t know who a lot of the standout talents are that haven’t been signed.

He said: “I can’t tell you because I don’t follow it enough. I’m a huge wrestling fan and I try to follow as much wrestling as I can. Everything has changed so much. It almost feels, and I know I’m going to get in relative trouble for this with the fans. It almost feels like there is no independent scene anymore. I know there is, I just don’t know enough about it because it’s just not what it used to be. A lot of it is because independent talents in the last few years have been signed. I’m not saying there are no independent standouts, I just don’t know them. Probably, a lot of it, is I have less time to pay attention to wrestling. I wish I had an answer, I really don’t. I don’t know who is out there.“
