“I Want To Be Best Homegrown Talent In WWE” – Big E
WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E recently had an interview with BT Sport and revealed that he wanted to become ‘the best homegrown male talent in WWE.
WWE has mix of talent that they were worked in other promotions before signing with WWE. It also had some talent who never participated in any indies and entered to WWE Performance Center without any prior experience. Big E is one of the talent who started his training in wrestling after joining WWE PC.
During the interview, the former New Day member Big E, tried to recall other talent who went similar process like him and revealed that he wants to be the best among them.
“I’m trying to think of any talent, any other talent, who has been really successful, who had zero previous experience. I want to say, my goal is to be the best… the best talent, the best homegrown male talent in WWE. At least since I’ve been employed. I’m trying to think of the others. Because, you know, even a guy like Cena, he had done some indies. There are some other guys like that who… But I don’t know if there’s anyone else, at least in my era. I could say Brock, because he was signed to WWE and only WWE, but I mean someone who was signed since about 2009. Because there aren’t that many, there aren’t many, you know? There’s a lot of Football players who were brought in and they weren’t that good. I have to think more. Maybe I’m not that high on the list.” Said Big E.
Big E was also hugely thankful to work with many talented superstars after joining WWE PC, especially for Cesaro, from whom he learned a lot during his training.
“But I’m proud of the fact, you know, I think it can definitely be a good thing to have other experience and to work other places. But I was a guy who just came in, didn’t know anything else, and thankfully I’ve been able to work with so many different guys who are so talented. I feel like Cesaro and I… Cesaro’s followed me throughout so much of my career. You learn from guys like that, you know? Iron sharpens iron. I’ve really benefited from being able to work with so many talented dudes over the last several years.”
“My goal is to be the best homegrown male talent…”
For @WWEBigE, the WWE PC was the place where he first got introduced to the ring and he hasn’t done too bad since 👏
