On latest episode of WWE’s The Bump show, WWE aired the sneak peek of upcoming documentary of Stone Cold’s finisher, ‘Birth of The Stunner’, in which Kevin Owens explained the how he approached Stone Cold to ask let him to use Stunner.
Owens said that he started using Stunner because it was one of the most iconic finisher all time and when he went to Stone Cold to ask, he was like go ahead, it sounds great. Here what Kevin Owens said:
“I had this idea in my head to start doing the stunner for a finish because it’s the most iconic finisher of all time and nobody was doing it anymore. Why not the stunner? I was well aware of what it was, and it’s almost sacriligious to do it, which is why I went to Steve and asked him if I could, and when I went to Steve, he and I already had a pretty good rapport, as soon as I opened my mouth, he knew where I was going.”
“He was like ‘Yes, go ahead and do it, it sounds great.’ . . . Moments like that just still blow me away, and having the guy I looked up the most give me his blessing to use his finishing move that he made famous beyond this industry ,which is pretty wild. Once in a while I still think about him and be like I can’t believe I get to do this.”
