It’s already been a really great year in pro wrestling, and we’re only a couple months into 2017.

If we can take a break from freaking out about last night’s SmackDown for a minute, I’d like to remind you of a great match from way back in January... Kevin Owens Universal title defense against Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble. In that match, KO hit the Big Dog with, well, a lot of $#!+, but one of the many things was a Stone Cold Stunner.

WWE Hall of Famer, Steve Austin noticed Owens using his finisher, and he didn’t like what he saw. Not that the Prizefighter would use the manuever, but how he executed it. Stone Cold Tweeted to KO that he needed to teach him how to hit a Stunner, and “put some stink on it, kid”.

When Kev was the guest on the latest episode of The Steve Austin Show, Owens got a lesson - and then some - from the master:

Austin: Sometimes when you get deep into your oxygen reserves what happens? You kind of start to lose the thought process. You can't perform up to your utmost ability. Well, see, that's what's the beauty of (it) is when you kick the guy in the gut, right in the diaphragm, boom, ya sap his lungs ... you suck the oxygen right out of his lungs. All of a sudden, his brain's like 'I need to breathe, I'm about halfway blown up, this is deep in the match, I need oxygen!'

Owens: So that kick isn't just about bending them over a little so that you have easier access to the head.

Austin: You're very correct.

Owens: It's more than that.

Austin: It's a positioning mechanism.

Owens: But there's more to it.

Austin: But there's more to it than positioning. Yeah, you're robbing the lungs of oxygen, precious oxygen which that heart needs to pump to the cranial region which houses the brain. So all of a sudden that person doesn't know whether to crap or wind their watch because they can't breathe and WHAM. Here's the thing: you didn't really secure Roman's head hard enough on your shoulder because what happens... are you a boxing fan at all? Can you appreciate a great uppercut?

Owens: Yes, I can.

Austin: Like a Mike Tyson style uppercut right underneath the jaw. You got two holes here in each side of your jaw, the foramen nerves, that's where people get knocked out. So, basically, when you grab that head put it on top of your collarbone, this AC region, your trapezoid, right there on the end of your shoulder, your locking that jaw down underneath the jaw. So all of a sudden I'm like a spring.

Owens: I'm learning. I'm learning right now.

Austin: You ever see someone... let's say like someone comes in that weighs 120-pounds and they're going to hit you with an uppercut.

Owens: Yep.

Austin: Okay, now let's say someone 250 hits you with an uppercut, okay?

Owens: Yep.

Austin: Now let's take double body weight, 500 pounds, give or take, hitting you with an uppercut. That's both men's weight coming down on that shoulder. You hit your ass on the mat, the mat springs you back up.

Owens: The rebound, that's right.

Austin: The vertebrae in your back give that energy a direct path through the shoulder to his damn jawbone, WHAM, lights out. That's how scientific it is, Kevin.

Owens: See, this is very interesting to me.

Austin: You gotta do it. It's a 1-2-3 step process, destruction on the other end if executed to perfection.

Owens: As many times as I've watched you execute a Stunner, I've never realized that the key to it was grabbing so that your shoulder is right underneath the jawbone. I figured, you know, you grab that head... that rebound you're talking about, I get that part but maybe your shoulder hits the guy in the nose or the eye socket or the face, whatever. You really... the key is to get him under the chin. See now, look, you're imparting this wisdom on me -- I feel like the next person that eats that Stunner, the KO Stunner, we might rename it, we'll talk about it...

Austin: You're more than welcome to rename it the KO Stunner.

Owens: I would never go that far but next time, the next person who eats that Stunner... kick to the diaphragm, lock the jawbone right underneath that shoulder, and then lights out. See, I'm very glad we had this conversation. I kind of wish it wasn't happening on a podcast where a lot of the guys in the locker room have access to it now. But like you said, I feel like I'm cut from a different cloth. I don't think anybody would have the balls to, you know...

Austin: By the same token, the effects are devastating whether they know about it or not. Once it happens they're going to be laying there and just basically a mess and you'll cover them for that three count.

Owens: Yeah, once you lock that jawbone under the shoulder there's nothing they can do.

Austin: That's right. That's what it's all about.
