We in the internet wrestling fan community weren't the only ones freaking out last night (May 31, 2015) when Kevin Owens hit his second Pop-Up (or Poppa, as Michael Cole and Geno Mrosko like to call it) Powerbomb to finish John Cena at Elimination Chamber.
Owens peers, current & former bosses and industry legends were as well.
Let's start with the niceties. Based Haitch was a proud patron:

Somebody with some experience running talent development & relations also liked how Trips' guy did - and how Cena & WWE helped present him:
Awesome victory for @FightOwensFight over @JohnCena at #WWEChamber #BestForBusiness I finally got one right...bravo @WWE, Cena & Owens
— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) June 1, 2015
And a Hall of Famer who also had a look that a lot of critics said would keep him out of the main event chimed in:
.@FightOwensFight - congratulations! #EliminationChamber

Brotherly love was flowing from friends and co-workers on the independent scene:

And down at The WWE Performance Center:
@FightOwensFight just beat @JohnCena on a @WWE show..... The Internet just exploded! Insert *NXT Chant* #WWEChamber @WWENXT

Holy moly what a match. Such deserving win! @FightOwensFight defeating a future Hall of Famer, @JohnCena. #CenaVsOwens

Then, it was time to go after a guy that Owens famously butted heads with backstage while both were with Ring of Honor...
Here's the key to wrestling success for the young kids starting up: Make sure Cornette thinks you suck. The rest will take care of itself.

(It should be noted that the Bucks and Jim Cornette are both tied to Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling - whatever that turns out to be - so there's an element of potential angle to their continued Twitter sniping)
Cornette defended himself, or at least clarified his position:
One more time--never said @FightOwensFight couldn't be a star, said he WOULDN'T be because of rotten attitude #MoneyChangesEverything *Yawn*
— Jim Cornette (@TheJimCornette) June 1, 2015
While a certain Submission Machine was all business...
Be joyous be proud for soon I will take everything from you..

No word from Planet Zayn.
