10 Things You Didn’t Know About WWE Diva Renee Young-1

1. Considers JBL And Michael Cole Her Mentors


Working as closely as she has with JBL and Michael Cole while filming “The JBL and Cole Show” and in the studios in Stamford, Connecticut, it is no wonder that Renee would consider those two gentlemen major influences on her career as a WWE performer. Their impact on her can be heard whenever she takes her place at the commentary table for NXT. She walks a fine line of shilling the product and stars, something Cole has perfected, while mixing humor and sarcasm into her commentary, something JBL has mastered. Eliminating what does not work from each man’s repertoire and mixing in her own elements has allowed her to adapt a style all her own. It is that style, and her continued improvement behind the headset, that has allowed her to become the first female commentator on WWE television. She can be heard every week on WWE Network’s Superstars. Cole and JBL are not the only Superstars to have a special influence on Renee’s WWE career. Along with them, she credits “Mean” Gene Okerlund as a hugely important mentor, a Hall of Famer whose impact on her is immeasurable and invaluable, something she revealed to WWE.com. I work with “Mean” Gene Okerlund back in the studio in Stamford. To have a bit of insight from “Mean” Gene — who is the best interviewer WWE has ever had — if I can take a small grain of knowledge from what he has been able to do and put it into my work, that would be a step in the right direction.
