Sami is an example for what kind of character you get when you give a superstar creative freedom. Dude is doing the best work of his life

Sami is just on a whole different level right now

Since November 2020 I thought WWE was burying Sami Zayn by losing the majority of his Matches but then it slowly traditions into him doing some of the best work in his career

People at it with the "WWE is the only company that exists again" El Generico for character and matches all the way. He was just the best.

It's funny to think that his whole gimmick is about him being held down by different people inside the WWE, but actually he is one of the guys with the most creative freedom xD

Sami has to be one of the interesting minds in wrestling today

YES YES YES Thank You Renee great interview. Sami's character is really the only storyline I cannot wait to see every week.

People always talk about Cesaro being the most underated wrestler in WWE, but for me it's without a doubt Sami. He is a great face and heel, great wrestler and does promos almost as good as Miz and Paul. He is also one of the funniest guys in WWE.

Whenever he retires from being a in-ring worker, Sami would make an amazing manager.

Sami Zayn gets it and I think he understands unlike crybaby Rollins how to navigate the political side of wrestling in conjunction with fans and their reception. Finally someone that is real with their responses when asked questions about the creative process in WWE. Objective answer to the question where he didnt refute experiences of other wrestlers but also articulated his own experience and how he navigates it when its both good and bad. This clip is also one of the many that just makes Seth Rollins look worse and worse every time he opens his mouth.

@@shantanusarkar7582 Its not an opinion. He was totally playing a different char. Just like he went on to play another diff char when he returned mid-00s and again now in AEW. Other than being the same guy, they are totally diff chars. I dont know about Zayn. I stopped watching in 2003. I've seen only bits here and there over the years. I watched 1/2 of WM Night 2, part of what I saw was Zayn/Owen's and I thought Zayn was trying too hard with the gimmick and the match was just ok. I dont like Owen's using the stunner. Every time I've seen it - it looks lackluster. So... as you say... to each their own.

He’s so lovable! One of my favs.

Sami and Renee's dynamic was always so genuine. Also, the conspiracy theorist thing? Best thing to happen to Sami since his match with Nakamura in 2016 at Takeover. And yes, the matches with Owens? Also classic. So much so that they will probably spill over in both dudes' post-WWE careers.

Renee Paquette i love watching your KZread videos I’m a huge fan

Sami's mad entertaining man got to dig his skill set he's got some cool moves and can take an ass beating too, cool stuff👍🏻

Renee, nice choice of thumbnail.😂 Really fits Sami's current character.

This is what mic work does for a person's career. It's funny how people still don't get it. There are no managers in the business anymore. So you have to do it for yourself. Lesnar, Lashley are lucky. Sami literally went from boring old Sami Zayn on NXT to being in a mini program with some YT celebrity. That's what improving on the mic does for you. Another example is Kofi. Kofi would have been fired by now had he not gotten in a stable with Big E and Xavier. They helped him come out of his shell and look at Kofi now. The reason it took him 11 years to get an opportunity is because his first 6, albeit great, lacked something. And that was his connection with the audiences.

Who would've thought Sami absolutely killing it as a heel

Great video, just a word of thought I am not too keen on Sammy Zayn - though. ? But. I Enjoyed it !! Thanks,again...

Renee Please Get Alex Riley On your podcast , Some day

Our great liberator is finally here

The conspiracy theorist Sami "Insane" Zayn gimmick was the gimmick WWE originally wanted for Lunatic fringe Dean Ambrose when he became heel.

While I find the timing to create soft power to further satirize and parody "Conspiracy theorists" with the curse of the bard, especially during the times in which we live... it kind of reminds me of when the CIA first peppered "Tin foil hat" through media soft power right after JFK's assassination to quell any independent & civil inquiry ...... I'm sure the professionals consider the works of Edward Barneys when they work for big corporations like the WWE, instead of always making excuses for the sake of careerism *Crosses fingers* ..... but with that said no one can deny the creative genius that is Sami Zayn. The guy is a brilliant talent and that is not hyperbolic fanboy praise. I think he's up there with Bobby Heenan and Roddy Piper/Jesse Ventura regarding his character work and promo skills. I honestly think if McMahon had loosened the reigns of control and allowed; CM Punk Moxley/Ambrose Renee Young Xavier Woods Paige Sami Zayn Daniel Bryan .... To have more influence with creative, social media, spin off content, marketing, and branding, WWE would never hear the complaints of; "Out dated" "Out of touch" or "Boomer TV". Bringing in Pritchard was not just a few steps backwards in WWE's progress, it was a full out sprint in the wrong direction. Zayn is Gold.

Im surprised that Vince and Sami Relation seems to work ... they trust him enough to litteraly shoot on the wwe creatives

"Infamous podcast"? xD Moxley one?

Anyone else think their screen was dirty?
