On a recent edition of the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast, former WWE Superstar Sylvain Grenier reflected on his tenure in the WWE developmental system.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On not understanding the rules and culture of pro wrestling: “I nearly got killed. I was a f**king idiot. They don’t teach you the respect thing, because I respect everybody, that’s just me. I respect everybody, that’s just me. I respect everybody, but there’s a level of respect in wrestling.”
On his early experience in OVW: “F**king monsters, and midgets, and f**king fat guy, and phenomenal girls, athletes, and I’m like, ‘Wow, what is this?’ And a lot of great wrestlers, a lot of phenomenal, technical wrestlers.”
On getting heat for calling The Big Show by his real name: “No ‘Big Show’ it’s not ‘Big Show,’ it’s Paul. You know? So, in my head, it went that way, so I went there and I’m like, ‘Yeah, Paul’ because I said ‘Paul’ I got heat, ‘No, it’s not Paul, it’s Big Show.’”
