#3.) Started training at the age of 16
While aspiring wrestlers aren’t usually allowed to step in the ring until they turn 18, Owens began his training rather early. And who did he get trained by? Former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion Jacques Rougeau!
While Owens doesn’t sound like he was particularly fond of Rougeau and his training school, it was where he got a start and he would even wrestle in Rougeau’s small shows. This is the reason why Owens has attained a veteran status despite such little time in WWE. An interesting tidbit to add is that Owens decided to become a pro-wrestler after seeing his father’s videotape of the WrestleMania XI match between Shawn Michaels and Diesel.
