One of Owens' comebacks is "You suck. I rule."
I think we can say both guys are the losers here. It's like reading an argument between 7 year olds.

Riley is no Scott Steiner. He'd know how to deal with Kevin Owens...

This is still going on. Owens just blasted him hard again. Is this legit heat, because Owens has buried him in a fashion that may be detrimental to Riley's career.

I really like Owens, but the way he talks to anyone who doesn't worship him on Twitter,the way he talks about himself, and the viteral with which I have seen him cut promos on fans makes me think he believes his own hype. He seems to really live the gimmick. Getting a bit CM Punk-ish?
Last night at an NXT house show I was at, Owens barely got into a promo before security stopped a fan from filming him. Owens demanded the let him film. He demanded this dude take off his Zayn and his buddy his So and Cass shirts and go buy a KO shirt or he was leaving. Of course, the guys didn't comply... So, Owens dropped the mic and left.
Now, normally I would say good heeling. But, this show was missing Itami, Zayn,Charlotte, and Balor. It was main evented by Enzo and Big Cass vs The Vaudevillans. It could have used a long promo from the champ. The way Owens kept yelling at these dudes was a bit uncomfortable, yet kind of enthralling. He is either really good, or really enjoying his position in NXT.

I think the biggest thing here is he really is just an excellent heel.

At least I hope it isn't. Riley always talks about how he's "thankful" to Owens for "unlocking the cage". And he always speaks very highly of all the people in NXT. I'd like to think Owens tweet about Riley not being booked tonight was his way of moving the feud away from stupid, immature grade school insults and getting back on track. Riley and Owens are not supposed to be squabbling like school children. Riley's story is SUPPOSED to be based on meta "Reality Era" type of stuff. Alex Riley is supposed to be the Bizarro B+ Player/Troll/Goat; He is a tall, good looking, muscular wrestler fighting an uphill battle to prove he still belongs in this company even though wrestlers of his particular type are no longer "en vogue".

That actually sounds awesome. This is why people wanted Owens to be signed: for his crowd interaction, for his heel work. I don't think yours is an example of a wrestler being a dick. It's a wrestler that's good at his job.

Douchedom aside, the guy still has a lot of passion and drive to make something out of himself in WWE. He never gave up on his wrestling dreams even when the company said it to his face to stop training and just be happy with having a job. Riley was pretty well liked until the company tried to force him into retirement by putting him on commentary and refusing to take him off of it despite him sucking week after week, exposing him for no real reason. And I like RAGE...kind of. He's trying. He could walk around stomping kittens on the head and you'd be all like "he's at least getting cardio!" I kid. I admire that he at least has one person defending him on here. He's just so unlikeable to me. From the way he talks to the way he looks to the way he wrestles. If WWE would book him right, he wouldn't be so frustrated, and those kittens wouldn't have been stomped.

When Owens goes up to the main roster, I want Riley to become his waterboy or something, and have Owens treat him like Tensai treated Sakomoto.

Owens is playing the heel very well. The issue here is that Riley is such a shitty babyface I can't help but hope this gets him destroyed again.

His promos and his in ring work since his return were fine, but His commentary run left such a bad taste in everyone's mouth that people pretty much celebrated when Owens tossed him over that table. To most fans, Owens isn't beating up that guy who loves wrestling so much he cried over beating a jobber, he's beating up that obnoxious never-was jackass who was constantly talking shit about Sami Zayn, Hideo Itami, etc. EDIT: I think another issue is the Columbus match. It was so one sided and decisive, but the directive for both of them as well as WWE.com seems to be to pretend that the match didn't happen the way that it did. So Riley just comes off as being delusional. They want him to look like someone who shakes off adversity, but it just doesn't click with the way their match was layed out. I place blame either on the person who laid out Their match, the person in media who planned all of Riley's online interviews/articles afterwards, or the person in creative who felt this feud should continue. There is just a shit ton of miscommunication between all parties involved and it's making Riley look bad.

Dude, Riley is possibly the least likable face in the WWE, let alone NXT. Why are the fans supposed to care about this guy when he just comes off like a smug prick all the time?
