Remember that time Kevin Owens went off the cell?

[Jacy Derangement Syndrome]

...and literally nobody cared? And literally 2 days later Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy got everyone to lose their shit with one wholesome earhole and a not so wholesome thumb?

The whole Priscilla Kelly thing got me thinking about this again, and like, oof. Like, obviously excluding the Roman situation, was there anything sadder last year than this dude going out of his way to risk his life redoing a spot from 1998 and nobody giving a single f*** about a day later?

[Dub H]

Wasnt that right before Owen got sidelined by injury?

[Mozenrath]

Normally, I'd blame this on WWE not really putting emphasis on something, and I mean... there's some of that, but Kevin Owens is so burned out as a heel character, I can't fault anyone for not overly caring.

I hope whenever he comes back, he'll just be a face or something, because he could poptart powerbomb a Make A Wish kid, and we'd just stare blankly at him.

Actually, wait, remind me. What's a Kevin Owens?

[mcstoklasa]

Nope

[PKO]

Off the cage? I remember him going off the cage, but not off the cell.

Unfortunately there are a lot more of these big bumps that most of us have probably forgotten. I literally had this realisation last night when I was watching an old RAW from 1999 and Jeff Hardy did a Swanton off the top of the cage and I had absolutely no recollection of it. It was a sickening thud in what was pretty much a throwaway match

Pop-Tart Powerbomb. lol. Because he's fat.

Honestly, I've always called it that, not as a fat joke, but just because "pop up powerbomb" is an awkward finisher name to me. Like, "KO Bomb" or something would have probably been a lot better.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

God I hope he returns as a face. It would fix his relevance overnight.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Pepperidge farm's remembers.

[Deleted]

I remember when he was Braun's bitch for all of mid-2018.

[Deleted]

I wouldn’t say nobody cared.

It was one of the best moments in ages.

WWE of course had Owens “teaming up” with Braun like, 2 weeks later to take out The Shield.

This should have been a huge deal.

Kevin Owens /ˈmɔːrfiəs/ is a fictional character in The Matrix franchise. He is portrayed by Laurence Fishburne in the films, and in the video game The Matrix: Path of Liv where he was the only actor to reprise his character's voice.

It was a standard cage match, but it was done pretty much to pay homage to the Foley spot because it took place in the same city within a few weeks of the 20 year anniversary of the Cell match.

[Krazee]

i rmember watching it and was like OMG Stroman killed him again! but i think it was the 3rd time he did something to him like that so it lost its charm lol

Nope he was still on tv for a good while after that.

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

You remember Hirojima? Remember when Pearl Harbor bombed the Germans? It's D-day all over again, baby!

[stevec484]

did it have a giant crash pad under the announce table

[Nic Nemeth]

Remember when Owens quit then returned a week later to help Strowman out despite months of being terrorized by him?

[This Player Hating Mothman]

It baffles me to no end that WWE with a room full of TV writers can't for the life of them grasp that in a time when the peaking danger and pressure for match quality means you can't win without murdering a man live on television, the obvious solution is to make your spots thing people care about narratively and to tell good, interesting stories instead of doing all this horseshit. Like the whole of that Braun/Owens feud was such a pitiful nothing that nobody should have ever thought would be a good idea.
