Renee Paquette has landed on her feet since leaving WWE. With her new podcast, book, baby and a new job on Sirius XM Fight Nation. It sounds like she has been doing great since leaving. However, in a recent interview with Areil Helwani, she reflected on her time on the commentary team for WWE and Vince shouting at her for announcing Tyson Fury.
What Renne Paquette had to say
Speaking with Ariel Helwani, Renne had this to say about the incident:
“I wasn’t on commentary for this moment, but it was after I was on commentary, and I was doing a panel. They cut to us in-between the show. Tyson Fury was on the show when he was doing a stint in WWE. It was me, Samoa Joe, Booker T, and Beth Phoenix. I was throwing to a package and I said, ‘The Gypsy King Tyson Fury’, throw to package.
“(McMahon) is in my ear, and he goes, ‘You f**king ruined it!’ Screaming at me, telling me that I ruined this segment because I did not refer to Tyson Fury as the lineal champion. I referred to him as the Gypsy King. So he’s screaming at me, and at this point, I’m over it. I had done the commentary thing and I’m a little hardened to all the circumstances.
“He’s yelling at me about this, and I’m looking down at my notes, maybe I’m looking to Samoa Joe, and I’m taking this information in my ear, and he thinks I’m ignoring him, so he yells at me again. ‘Do you hear me? Acknowledge that you hear me!’ He wanted me to like look into the camera and be like, ‘Yes sir, I hear you, I understand you, I apologize’. Just to be yelled at like that for a small I don’t want to say mistake, it’s not a mistake, I just didn’t call him the lineal champion. I didn’t know it was that necessary, and I had ruined the run of Tyson Fury in WWE by not calling him that.
“To be yelled at like that in front of your peers was pretty demoralizing. To be yelled at that I had ruined the segment. I felt bad about it. Then we had to come back and do an on-cam, and I wanted to pull off my headset and just literally go home. At that point, I had just had it.”
There are more stories like this about Vince not being the nice guy. At the minute, it’s not looking likely that Renne will be joining a wrestling commentary team anytime soon. We will most likely see Renee back in wrestling at some point.
