Get to know: Renee Young
 |
| Renee Interviewing Ric Flair on RAW |
Today's get to know is actually not a superstar or diva, it's the first commentator/backstage interviewer get to know. I wanted to include this post in my NXT month because who I'm talking about today play's a huge part in NXT and still works down their a lot. So as you can already tell by the title and the image, today were getting to know Renee Young. I have previously done a separate post on her discussing weather or not she should join the RAW commentary team and I will leave the link to that post at the end of this one. I've always been back and fourth with Renee. There's things I love about her, for example her passion for the business, her genuine personality that shines through in everything she does, her work ethic and her determination, but then there's things I don't really like about, simple things nothing big, like the sound of her voice on commentary, I know that sound's harsh, but I think the problem is is that I'm so used to hearing particular voices that the simple fact her voice is so different and a little annoying is really frustrating, but thanks to NXT and Superstars I am getting used to it slowly. One thing I can't fault is her work ethic, you can tell in everything that she does that she work's extremely hard and loves what she does. Her hard work has really paid off and the WWE seem to completely love her. She has by far been on of the fastest growing backstage interviewers and commentators in a very long time and there has been no female doing what she does to achieve and do so much in such a short time. There is no doubt in my mind what so ever that in the next year or so she will be commentating for Smackdown, because she honestly has grown so much in that department has really improved, all you have to do is look at all the work she did for NXT Takeover Fatal four way. I honestly think her personality has so much to do with her success. She's nothing like most of the WWE's female employees and gives us something new. She's a great inspiration for women all around the world and proves that jobs usual deemed to be for men can be done just as good by women.
