“I’m my own worst critic and I’m also a bit of a perfectionist” – Renee Paquette About Her Commentary Role In WWE
Renee Paquette recently appeared as guest on Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast and spoke about various topics including her work and time in WWE. She also revealed that she asked her release from WWE years before she left the company but they didn’t granted, which ended up her doing a commentary.
Renee also talked about her time as commentator and recalled how she struggled to be a perfectionist at her work.
“Two or three years ago I asked for my release from WWE. I was just sort of spinning my wheels… there wasn’t much else for me to do there. They would not give me my release, which ended up ebing a good thing… it ultimately led to me doing commentary.”
“I’m my own worst critic and I’m also a bit of a perfectionist. I don’t like not being great at something. So when you’re thrust in this position, and when you’re doing something that you’ve never done before on the biggest stage, that microscope becomes very, very fine.”
Renee Paquette also named the WWE stars whom she reached out for help when she found difficulty on her time on commentary desk.
“I would sit and pick Paul Heyman’s brain, I would sit and talk to Corey Graves. I would try and talk to Michael Cole who was so sweet… Tom Phillips would be really great… Even Jim Ross would sometimes reach out to me.”
The former WWE broadcaster Renee Paquette also reflected on what she achieved in WWE.
“It was a bucket list thing, to be able to do, in terms of being a woman in there WWE, and just as like, a broadcaster there.”
Renee Paquette (formerly known as Renee Young in WWE) left the WWE in late summer after cancellation of WWE Backstage show. Renee and her husband Jon Moxley, are ready to welcome their first child in 2021.
