Exactly! The tap-out is the whole problem. If he uses ALL his strength to kick out of the 2nd rope AA and then gets pinned after one more regular AA? Fine. That's a loss that doesn't kill him. Makes him look tough, actually. If he uses ALL his strength to kick out of the 2nd rope AA and then gets locked in the STF and passes out, forcing a ref stoppage? Fine. Doesn't kill him & makes him look tough, actually.
But going through what he did and CHOOSING to tap out? Awful. Kills him. Owens had a special vibe around him & now he feels like any other mid-card WWE heel.
