This year’s WrestleMania is advertised to being the biggest WrestleMania of all time. There are many wrestlers for whom this year’s WrestleMania is very important. One such star for whom WrestleMania is crucial is Sami Zayn. The former WWE Undisputed World Tag Team Champion will be looking to become the Intercontinental Champion once again by dethroning Gunther.
Ahead of WrestleMania, Sami Zayn has been doing a lot of media along with several other stars. While speaking in an interview with Josh Martinez, Zayn shared his thoughts on the creative style of Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque.
“I don’t know, that might be a Triple H creative direction,” revealed Sami Zayn. “I think they’re doing a lot, and you can actually see it in the production and some of the camera shots and all these things that we’re doing. I think they’re trying to really get outside the box lately and really let the people who are very, very talented — and I’m talking about behind the scenes, that’s why they work here.” [H/T WrestlingInc.]
Sami Zayn also opened up about his unique interviews with Jackie Redmond on Monday Night Raw.
“To answer your question about Jackie [Zayn’s interview with Jackie Redmond], it is just like a new approach to interviews with different styles and things like that. Some of it’s a little bit more sports-oriented. I thought it was pretty cool and I think it’s also that I’ve interviewed with her not just the one week when we launched the story, but she’s kind of been like a recurring thread, like, ‘Okay, where are you at now? And then this happened, so where’s your head now?’ And it’s kind of following the journey. I thought it was pretty cool,” said Zayn. [H/T WrestlingInc.]
Sami Zayn compares the creative style of Vince McMahon and Triple H
The former WWE Intercontinental Champion also mentioned that when Vince McMahon was running things somehow people put themselves within a little box.
“We have some very talented people in production inside the truck, running cameras, I mean really just the top of the top,” said Zayn. “And now I think they’re just getting a little bit more room to explore because the box has kind of opened up a little. I don’t know what it is, it’s just that things under Vince for all those years, I think it was just like we found ourselves in a box because you find — but this is natural — when you find out what works you just do more of it and then you’ve accidentally created a little box of for yourself. These really narrow parameters. But it’s because of success … success starts to invariably discard what doesn’t work and keep what does work. So that’s why you end up with these rigid sort of boxes sometimes well.”
