"He's a human horse". Love the respect he has for Cesaro/Claudio.
You hear the same from most when they talk about Claudio/Cesaro; nothing but respect
Lotta respect lotta respect
If only Vince felt the same …
@@nl1817 Vince was right about Cesaro, though. He's a charisma black hole
@SonOfMuta He's not you're just one of the sheep who listen to that senile old bastard, he can cut good promos and I'd rather listen to Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, and Randy Orton who all thought Claudio should've been a World Champion in WWE.
Didn't want to lose to Castagnoli/Cesaro.
Should change his name to Low Iq.
Wouldn't be the first to recommend that. Ki was never considered the shiniest knife in the drawer
How that name fits. He returned to Evolve shortly after his run with WWE, facing off against someone(I don't follow Evolve so I don't know his opponent). This fucker does a spinning wheel kick, knocks the guy out cold and still continues to drag him around the mat to do all his finishers to him.
This is why we need Low Ki banned from professional wrestling.
@@ivenstorm no low Ki is mint he shouldn’t be banned
@@reality_is_sin bullshit
@@FerretJohn He didn't had a problem being a Jobber in WWE for two years but didn't wanted to lose to Cesaro lmao
Low Ki being called constantly an absolute moron by Jim Cornette is absolute gold and totally justified.
I remember reading Eddie Guerrero's book. When he was let go by WWE for his drug addiction he went on the independents to improve himself and stay sober. One of his early independent events was against Low Ki and they wanted him to wrestle Low Ki to a draw. Eddie instead suggested that he just let Low Ki win which they were shocked about; a recent WWE superstar willing to lose like that. Glad to see Low Ki spreading the wealth.
that's because eddie lived and breathed the business. he had no problem laying down because everyone knew how great he was.
Eddie had a book? I had no idea but Eddie doesn’t mind putting talent over.
Low Ki thinks he’s Triple H or John Cena. Lmao
@@thomasjenkins7506 it didn’t matter how many times he lost, he’d always come out looking just as good if not better each time.
@@RiruKrypto_ Low Ki: Of course i do because i'm your only reason for some...Total Nonstop Action!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Low Ki has that CM Punk attitude
Antonio Cesaro: Swiss Cyborg. King of Swing. *Human Horse.*
The caller ID part had me cracking up
LMAO!
I can see it on my Fone! 4:58
I can see it on my phone!
@@jumboincredible we already beat you to it.
I remember being shocked that Claudio defeated No Job Ki in PWG considering his history of not wanting to job in the indies. That guy has burned bridges with a lot of promotions.
I’m pretty sure Claudio could throw Low Ki into space so I’m glad he did the grab
With how strong Claudio is he probably would have just shot on him if he didn't agree to do the job.
Kevin is so humble, it's honestly refreshing. I wish more people were like this.
Delete this dumb shit
Low Ki doesn't job to Caller ID.
PopeRobXXIII 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
PopeRobXXIII lmfao
Teddy Hart doesn’t job to shoulder injuries
+pablo amador 😕
PopeRobXXIII
Don't get it
Never forget the match when Low Ki knocked that guy out with a rolling kick and proceeded to get him up and do more moves while he was knocked out 😂😂😂
So much for "PRO" wrestling. Lol
God, if he just pinned the guy right there it would have had him be MONSTER over.
“Gotta get my shit in!”
Lol he did the top rope stomp, like Balor's coup de grace, and Low Ki just landed on this knocked out dude full force, on his stomach 🤣
@@billblaski9523 and the guy was so fucked up he didn't even sell being landed on with full force 😂
Claudio was one of the biggest indie stars at the time, both physically and metaphorically, and imagine thinking you're too much of a star to lose to him without batching about it.
Steen is so awesome and funny, and he has a remarkably calm and mature way of dealing with people who seem difficult to work with.
kevin looks like a legit cool dude
Terrorizerr1 he's a real genuine teddy bear in real life but has perfected the asshole persona
Yeah, I was about to say the t-shirt he's wearing is a true indication of the man. At least as far as everything I've ever heard about him. Just a big teddy bear and really laid back guy.
He looks like a fat slob gamer
Hes the greatest dude in person. Met him plenty of times before this run in WWE. Kill Steen Kill at it height was amazing. But he was always so humble when we chatted. His favorite venue to wrestle at is here so this was always his favorite spot. Got HHH to come perform once there with the NXT brand when he was first put on the main roster, and even showed up at the show as a surprise because he loved the venue so much. Great times.
Lo ki looks like a asshole
“I know I can see it on my phone” lmao gets me every time
The way he impersonates him is what gets me. lmao
And Look Now, Kevin, Sami, And Cesaro A Bigger Wrestling Stars Than Low Ki.
The thing is low ki would have been something if he stuck around when he was signed to wwe but no, hes a entitled prick
Doesn’t matter Low ki isn’t even a star on Indies
@@1KQ_ not true wwe didn't care about him made him a jobber
@@brokelucki7154 wwe put him vs dolph ziggler for the ic champion in a ppv and he almost knockout dolph with a kick
What has Low Ki done in WWE? Being Laycool’s lackey? Lol
" Hey low ki it's Kevin Steen , I know I can see it on my phone " lmao
"I know I can see it on my PHONE!" ☎
LMAO!
Human Horse is a good descriptor for Cesaro I think, dude's a freak of nature.
Rofl at low ki not respecting steen. Dude's been champion and a draw everywhere he's been. Meanwhile, as good as low ki is, what has low ki done that has remotely justifies his shit attitude?
David R Low Ki always had a shit attitude
David R As much as i think Low Ki has a shit attitude you can't take away his accomplishments.

"he still fucking sucks"
What a shit resume compared to Owens and Zayn.
IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship (3 times)
That's worth more than any crap titles Owens and Zayn have held.
Looking back, I can recall an instance of trying to book Low Ki. I have a friend who ran a promotion here in Melbourne, Australia. He was looking to book Low Ki against another 5 nothing guy who likes to kick people too hard. The whole thing had him pumped. But it wasn't to be. All I got from my friend was "He's such a demanding piece of human garbage that I'm no longer interested after a three minute conversation with his agent". Small time Aussie fed who was just getting started, and Low Ki wanted basically most of their gate, accommodation at WAY too pricey motels, and a bunch of other ridiculous BS that he wouldn't have on a normal day and isn't remotely big enough to even entertain.
Side note, I have heard that you could essentially book Sandman for a case of beer and a half Oz of good skunk bud 😂
Sandman rumor confirmed
lmao... I love the Low-Ki impression.
The Teddy Hart story was the best part of this interview, I mean Low Ki being an asshole is almost predictable (he even questions why he should lose to a champion...really?), but Teddy Hart finds these amazing ways to make people hate him, genuinely!
I'm almost sure that Teddy Hart looks at Natalya and mutters "bitch", like he was entitled to continue the Hart Legacy in the WWE.
He trained me and i hate his guts lol
Kevin seems like someone who'd make a good friend.
Low Ki got that chihuahua energy.
Karma. To think I was mad when low ki was the rookie of LaCool lol
That was probably the highlight of his career, loll...
toptenguy1 no beating Jushin Liger ..Tiger Mask ..Aj Styles Samoa Joe.. Finn Balor ..Kota Ibushi.. Multiple world titles in Japan etc..not that crappy ass pre Nxt bullshit
toptenguy1 wwe mark. man alters the world of wrestling, then gets messed up by wwe booking and is considered worthless.
@Allan or alternatively: man has decent wrestling matches while ripping his gimmick from a video game and having a shitty attitude. is justly ridiculed for being a sadcase.
brianpoole33 I don't care how good he wrestled somewhere else, he is still a shitty angry little person, who takes himself top serious. Causel fans won't know his matches from other places where people don't know it's exist or don't watch it. He suffers from way too much testosterone and lack of a real personality or charisma, he has Nooooo sense of humor. He is always moody and angry, like he has to prove that he has a dick. He suffers from extreme fragile masculinity. He is not a pleasant person, why would anyone want work with him when he has the personality of toll box. The guy takes himself way to damn serious, I don't give a fuck if he can do 9,000 thousand moves in mid-Air, and can have a 9 star with Kenny omega he is still a shitty human being, and being a horrible person because your to macho for your own good that you can he normal and have smile and laugh and things that make a person likeable....he had none. His attitude has been known by alot of wrestlers and promoters, he acts like he is better then he really is. Him as human being is shitty and miserable, that far exceeds anything he has done.
Low Ki has a massive ego. Dude think he's worth more than he actually is.
The fact that Low Ki & Austin Aries feuded in TNA is ironic to me in hindsight. Both guys could've been bigger stars than they are in the business if they weren't such big marks for themselves. I'm surprised every match wasn't a double count-out or double DQ.
@@ralph8677 you're spot on. Both guys are INSANELY good, but they're both also absolute dickheads
@Andrew Bowyer Small Man Syndrome? What Does Small Man Syndrome Have To Do With Anything?
It All Comes Down To Ego & Shit Which Even Bigger & Taller Guys Have It 🤷♂️
@@MusaDays808
Exactly. I see this type of small man syndrome talk only in USA not around the world.
In fairness, he is incredible. It's just too bad he always ends up ruining any opportunity he's given.
How long has Lo Ki been a big deal? I remember him in TNA as a short mean looking guy who was pretty athletic, that's about it.
James Mason Inaugural ROH champ, an NXT season winner and I think maximum times TNA X division champ. So has curved out some history and no one can deny him being a great wrestler. Will however be more memorable as rude and dumb af
Since the late 90s. He was a major player in Ring of Honor & JAPW for many years.
He was more known for his TNA national TV work. Not many people saw JAWP/ROH DVDs
James Mason He's really NOT a big deal at all tbh
James Mason exactly zero days. He can do some cool things in the ring, but he isn't a big deal.
you'd think Austin Aries and Low Ki would have run out of bridges to burn at this point.
Claudio probably went up to Low Ki and did the classic "easy way or hard way" line, with his strength he could have torn Low Ki in two.
I'd job for Cesaro all day at the very least he'd make you look good with whatever you wanted to do
exactly. cesaro can carry a bag of shit to a good match, so it's an honor to even be in a ring with him.
Low Ki is the worst case of little man's syndrome in wrestling. Constantly trying to be a confrontational bully.
"i can see on my phone" LMAO
You know I'm pretty sure his attitude is why WWE made him a jobber. Someone had to put him in his place
People may hate WWE for all the s2pid things they did but they are never wrong for ruining this POS LMAO
Tyler Reks said in his shoot interview with Hannibal that that’s why HE personally thinks Low Ki didn’t get a push in WWE. He also flat out said Ki’s attitude was why Reks replaced him on the Bragging Rights team in 2010. Vince got tired of seeing him mope around backstage cause he was losing all the time.
@@chrisharrison9717As Scott Hall said, 'As soon as Vince finds out you're a mark for yourself, you're done. "Oh, he doesn't like losing? Beat him every night."'
The "Earthquake" part got me laughing. lol
Man I miss talking to people with deep voices on flip phones.
I'm seeing this video "ON MA PHONE" 😂😂😂
After watching NXT season 2, I always thought Kaval was the guy WWE missed out on. Now I’m hearing all these old stories about him and I gotta wonder why the hell they even gave him a chance.
El Generico would have been a draw in WWE. If only that fire man...
Juan S And the poor orphans too. It truly does break my heart
Juan S the man will never be forgotten.
T Dub Hey at least he saved the kids
El Generico is a noble man, doing it for the children... 😢😢
X-Pac was there when Low-Ki saw Kevin Owens calling him on the phone.
Yea..he's around everything..no matter what..never missed a thing...yea I was thier
Lol "I KNOW I CAN SEE IT ON MY PHONE". I CANT TAKE LOW KI SERIOUS HE MAKES ME LAUGH EVERYTIME. I SWEAR HE LOOKS JUST LIKE A NEWBORN BABY LOL😂😂😂😂.
I love all the casual name dropping of respected wrestlers. He really has been all over the business.
that's alright dude, you are where you are in a good spot in the top wrestling company for a reason. and he is where he is for a reason.
This is gold
Kevin Owens is the best
#BestOwensBest
love Kevin's francophone-style gesturing
We are all really lucky that Cesaro is a nice guy, because he could kill all of us with his bare hands.
I'd love to see more from Kevin's interview.
Low Ki's fanboys ruined him. Gave him an ego, never heard a good backstage story about Low Ki. Too bad, he's an amazing wrestler, could've been something.
tyg trust me, the guy already had an ego his first couple years in the business.
There's two sides to every story
@@djcarameldeviljaycry4831 You're a bitch
@@djcarameldeviljaycry4831 Nah
"This is Low-Ki. Call me back." Fucking hilarious
The stereotype that all professional wrestlers are great storytellers is alive and well here.
Teddy Hart and Low Ki should form a tag team. The Unbookables.
I seen Low Ki wrestle and it was bad! Yea he's athletic, but he's stiff as shit... especially with his kicks. I remember hearing 2 wrestlers saying they were looking for him backstage after their matches for some well deserved receipts.
Oh so you were backstage?
Cesaro could crush Low ki's skull if he wanted to
I used to like Low Ki back in the early days of TNA, was happy when he made it to WWE but the after hearing stories of his arrogance and ego, i'm glad he never made it that far as we would have had another 90's Shawn Micheals n our hands
Too funny with the phone call lol
I love the human horse line. Died like mad
Low Ki has got to be one of the biggest marks for himself. Sad too considering how far his career could have gone had he respected the business.
I'm curious to know what a "ridiculous price" is for an Indy wrestler
Enzo Amore is said to be $7000 an appearance and he hasn't had many bookings at all.
Ko is fucking hilarious could listen to the guy all day. His fucking impressions and stories are hilarious, whether theyre right or not.
Realist guy in the room
Is no one going to address that amazing shirt he's wearing?
Now both Cesaro and Kevin are bigger stars than he’ll ever be. Fuck Low Ki lol
lol'd hard on "I know I can see it on my PHONE!"
I KNO I CAN SEE IT ON MA FON!!!!
I saw that Kevin Steen and El Generico vs Homicide, Low Ki, and B-Boy match live in Rahway, NJ. I didn’t know at the time that Teddy Hart faked an injury to get out of the match. However, on another JAPW show Teddy Hart didn’t show up and the promoter cursed him out in front of the live crowd.
Notice a lot of people make comments about Cesaro and his strength and/or conditioning... human Horse lol
Damn Kevin is such a humble guy.
Take a shot every time Kevin Owens drops his hands on his legs.
The sound he heard on his phone and the part that Low Ki was mad that Kevin Steen introduced himself.😂
Lol "aaaand they beat the shit out of us"
If I ever see Low-ki , I’m calling him Kaval and asking if he has caller I.D.
Love Kevin Steen. Sounds like Low Ki's best side is his in ring side ( if you can afford it that is)
Love listening to Kevin!
Low Ki sounds like he's pretty entitled based on what we know.
Owens is great.
Great video as usual
"Hey Kevin its loki brrrbehrbbebr" lmao
This interview needs more leg slaps.
"Nah man, not at all" 😂😂😂
yea Cesaro is awesome its a shame WWE will only use him as a low-mid card tag team/comedy act
it's because he had no personality. thanks to tagging with sheamus, he's actually developed one. it takes more than in-ring ability to be a star. guys who can go in the ring are a dime a dozen. guys who can win the crowd over with a promo are much more rare.
@@thomasjenkins7506yet Jinder won the wwe title....
Now Low Ki won't job to a face mask. Some things never change.
YOOO I️ THOUGHT THEY WERE SAYING OWENS “LOW KEY” DIDNT WANNA JOB LMAOOO
BWhales same here haha
Then you're a fucking idiot.
Teddy Hart VS Low Ki VS Austin Aries: last asshole standing match
Teddy hart, jack evens, and low ki... you know it's about to be problems
Is Jack known for creating drama? I know Teddy and Ki are dumb marks for themselves who burned every bridge they ever walked over, but I thought Evans was alright aside from the fact that he's friends with Teddy.
@Wurzelknecht konan has said he's unreliable to the poijt that he wont book him anymore
Kevin Owens one the the best lo key
Lowkey Low ki tried to fight me over a girl once..
Why was Low-Ki insisting on that guy to pay for a ticket? Was Low-Ki getting a cut of ticket sales that night and things were low? Even then that to me wouldn't justify it, but you can see where he's coming from with that.
AsnycnowRadio indy wrestlers are sometimes touchy about comp tickets because promoters have been known to stiff the talent if the gate is low (not to mention most Indy wrestlers are very lucky to make $100 a show).
Yeah except the people who drive the wrestlers to the show get in free. That's always been the case with Indy promotions how the rule even applies to a lot of higher-end promotions
you such a nice guy Kevin
to be fair low ki had his moment in njpw as a star but as always he blew it because of his horrible attitude.
AH CAN SEE IT ON MAH FONE!
That dude is related to Nikko Jenkins, for real. 😮😅
Cesaro is the man!
People complain about Orton throwin fits an what not, but he draws, big, not john cena big, but he's a number puller, he's been part of the backbone of WWE for a while now, while Low-Ki bounces from promotion to promotion, andI bet his on screen stuff now is what he's like backstage.
Sad thing is that, unfortunately, WWE would never allow KO to be this 'candid' about Cesaro's pre-WWE time, on a WWE show or event
...simply because Vinnie Mac and the other boys backstage don't want to ruin the illusion that "WE CREATED CESARO!" lol
ma PHONE! ☎️
When my mother in-law calls, she always says who she is when I pick up. I'm doing the low ki line next time
Take a shot every time KO slaps his hands down
I lost it at that voice mail bit
Kevin is so cool & 1 hell of a talent in ring & on the Mic hopefully he stops losing on raw . Hopefully WWE let's him bring up the fact he never got his rematch 4 universal belt & face Brock cuz if Brock is willing 2 work a good match it be awesome & can u imagine Owens vs Heyman in promos. But if not it be cool if him & Sammy go 4 tag titles
Wwll he stopped losing on Raw & started losing on SD so my wish came true I guess
