"That's where your heat is" - Former Champion details career changing advice he was given by Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon knows how to get the best out of his WWE Superstars on the microphone.
Sami Zayn was a recent guest on Out of Character with Ryan Satin to discuss a wide variety of subjects. During the interview, Zayn revealed the advice that Mr. McMahon gave him to improve his WWE promos.
"Another thing Vince said in that same talk he was like, ‘You’re yelling at me and when you yell at me I just check out,’ which I get," Sami Zayn said. "He used Baron Corbin or someone as an example and he was like. ‘Look at Baron Corbin. He used to be tough and talked like whatever but that’s not what took him to the next level. It was being happy and laughing that’s just so obnoxious that you just want to punch him in the face.'"
Vince McMahon may believe that Sami Zayn is naturally obnoxious
Sami Zayn also expressed how he thinks the WWE Chairman might view him.
The SmackDown star mentioned how he believes McMahon "sees" him as obnoxious, stating that's where the boss thinks Zayn is able to draw his heat from in the first place.
"I think he genuinely sees me as an obnoxious human being already, really I think he does," Sami Zayn continued. "So he’s like ‘That’s where your character is. That’s where your heat is.'" [H/T: Wrestling Inc.]
