- Renee Paquette, the world-renowned Canadian-born broadcaster joins Ariel to discuss why, after eight years, she decided to leave WWE 2020. Plus, she talks about her short-lived acting career, how she met her husband, current AEW star Jon Moxley, if she plans on joining AEW, and how difficult it was to work for WWE at times.
Renee Paquette (formerly known as Renee Young) is a Canadian-American broadcaster. Before spending eight years with WWE, she worked for The Score and BiteTV in Canada. She left WWE last summer, now focusing on her podcast, weekly radio show with Miesha Tate, and her four-month old baby.

These two need a show together, they have each other’s level of charisma and knowledge. No other journalist in MMA can have long form conversations that keep you engaged like Ariel and no other broadcaster/host could keep you engaged like Renee did in WWE. They’ve had a tough time replacing her and ESPN have had a tough time with other boring journalists that have less charisma than a chair
This. This. This completely.
this
the thing is....they were wrong...because even if they didn't see it...she did become a star there. She did build a following. The reason, is simple. Her talent over shadowed whatever limitations, whatever ceiling they manufactured. She was naturally destined to always overcome any of those limitations because of her charisma and talent. Nothing they could do could stop it.
I don't understand how they haven't learned by now with Bobby Gorilla Jesse There was a whole generation that didn't even know Jesse wrestled Gorilla same thing Piper or JR and Lawler especially JR They can become stars and it's better for the product if they do JR Literally has an audience follow him follow him with whatever he does.... Steve Austin started getting the stone cold character over on commentary CM Punk started getting over when he was injured on commentary I don't understand.... For as smart as they are they can be completely ignorant and idiots I think that's a lot of a fucking problem is that they think their geniuses and their way is the only way Until somebody like Tony Khan comes along and fucks their old world up And proves to them that their way isn't the only right way and and capitalizes on their mistakes of how they treat their audience and their employees Let your fucking people make more money let your people make outside money it keeps them happy and you don't have to pay them as much Let them get paid off somebody else's money why is that a fucking problem to you Outside sponsorships should not be a bad thing outside revenue should not be a bad thing As long as it doesn't take away from their ability to perform and do their job You don't use somebody for a whole year and you're mad cause they're fucking doing something with their time You don't want to fuck all to do with them until somebody else does That's like breaking up with a broad and getting mad when she starts dating somebody else what the fuck You didn't want her till somebody else had her Stop trying to plug holes in your boat and build a new fucking boat Fire your shithead outside riders who don't know what the fuck they're talking about and as you used to say back in the day wouldn't know a wrist lock from a Wrist watch Jake Roberts WWE hall-of-famer 2 different decades 2 generations of performers have both said that man is a genius should be a fucking producer agent and on screen personality for WWE right now where's he at? AEW killin it Doing all those jobs for the competition! Scott hall Genius WWE hall-of-famer legend credibility Could be a creative writer Producer on screen talent You don't think that guy could do commentary Where's he at? Killin it on the Con Circuit! And there's dozens more Those are just the 2 I rattled off the top of my head It's fucking ridiculous they had a great product with the network too now it fucking sucks! That's what happens when you make something about money It used to be about the product now it's just about the fucking money they turned your back on everything that made them successful Keep cutting off your nose to spite your fucking face and shooting yourself in the foot the end result won't be good
@@cactaszach2000 That's a book but I agree. What I hate is how they erode stars. They had then Daniel Bryan up to superstardom a few years back but found a way to make him average. They've found a way to make Drew McIntyre, Big E, Seth Rollins, EVERYONE who gets a little steam, AVERAGE. Its boring as balls to watch wrestling without anyone being special.
Now thats called being over
of course that's what they want. their narrative is stupid though.
From their perspective, no one should grow bigger than the business. I kinda get it from a business pov. I'm sure Vince had been scarred alot in the past. Investing alot on guys and they leave (which they have every right to). I like to think Brock Lesnar and to a lesser extent Bobby Lashley (2007) were the breaking points for Vince... making them megastars and they just up and leave. It's the reason why no one now is special so they won't feel any blow per se if they decide to up and leave. At least that's what I think
I love your conversations with Renee! Ariel you're my favorite MMA interviewer and Renee is my favorite Pro Wrestling interviewer so it's always nice to see you guys cross paths.
Renae is cool as hell. She takes everything in stride and keeps it moving.
I would love to see Renee and Ariel do a weekly or monthly show! So much natural chemistry and mutual respect. Really refreshing to see.
We need more aew interviews Ariel!!!
Very nice, can’t wait to see & listen to this one while I’m working tomorrow! I’ve been really enjoying your personal interviews/project here. Keep up the great work!
Edit: After watching, I have to say, somehow I like Renee even more now. Awesome interview, I really enjoyed it.
same here :)
Renee seems so cool! Thanks for the interview Ariel
Wow AH, this is such a great guest and turn for the show! This is awesome, I’m so happy for you brother.
Comment for the algorithm, love both Ariel and Renee’s interviews!
Ariel you are the absolute GOAT of journalism. Keep your good work sir
more like the dumbest were ufc at lol
I love these two together so much. Please cross paths for talks more often! 🙏
I've been waiting for this ever since you went on Renee's show. Awesome!
Renne Paquette is the best. Loved her since she joined The Score television network back in the day. She's so cool
2 absolute legends in sports journalism
Listening to this at work and this is my 2nd time and it might be my 3rd/4th time listening. Thank you both for sharing this with us.
I love how much respect they have for one another. Love you both!
Rick Campanelli!! What a reference. Awesome seeing two fellow hosers out there killing it
That Vince story about Tyson fury is crazy, come on Vince, don’t be doing that
Nah, he was right. It's his show and he wants it done a specific way. He paid her very good money and made her a big public figure. She is given a script and MUST read things correctly
@@Aj-me8mo everyone already knows Tyson was the lineal champion, using The Gypsy King was better for a promo.
@@Aj-me8mo dude do you think anyone give a crap if she didn't say that line? It's not going to ruin anything. But truly enough the show that you support Vince's strictness towards his employees. Especially for something that is not important
@@Aj-me8mo and seriously dude you're telling this to Renee Young who literally is one of their last good commentator that left the company like seriously dude just for that one stupid line
@@Aj-me8mo Okay so here's the problem with that: they're not actors, despite how much WWE want them to be. Wonder why WWE come off as robotic and insincere? It's because they're scripted, and they're memorizing lines, and they come off that way. Vince may want it that way, but it's to the detriment of the show
Love this
For a company to run out someone as wonderful as Renee, it just says all you need to know. And it’s not just her. Lots of good people are leaving or want to leave. The culture just sounds toxic. Vince McMahon is toxic. In what workplace is screaming like she says Vince in her headset healthy? I’m glad she got out and is living her best life with her husband, who also left after being so unhappy.
I think it’s just they want things done in a certain way… they may feel like they have more freedom, but are they are even near the same level they were at when they were with WWE? I don’t think there is anyone who is more over outside of the big show
@@4oclockHereHuhHUH Of course they're not on the same level, considering they haven't been building an empire for about 40 years.
Man, I had such a huge crush on her growing up and still do. Moxley is a lucky man.
its wonderful seeing two good Canadian personalities have a chat. What call back to a name from the past, Rick the Temp Campanelli. TheScore really had the best on screen talent
you two need a show together, even if it was a monthly reflection on the goings on of MMA and wrestling
Jimmy Korderas for Oral Sessions!!!
Great interview as always, Ariel. 🤘🏼
Tic tok brought me here 😂👍 didn’t even know there was this recent interview 😂🙏🔥
I'm really in love for renee and how amazing she is, such an empowered woman and role model
The Canadian deep cuts !! LOVE :P
This will be great
Renee I tip my hat off! Amazing individual and so refreshing, good insight from both 😎
Two great people
Renee is awesome. Happy for her.
Came here because of SRS. Totally worth it.
Great interview
I love being able to see the book shelf background still lol reminds me of DC & Helwani.
Renee is truly one hell of a woman.
I wanna see Renee talk with Gabe and Cam again like the good old days. She's awesome.
Excellent interview!
phenomenal interview with ariel and renee!
You two have a really comfortable energy. You should put a podcast together
I think Renee can have a good conversation with just about anyone, she’s just a comfortable person to talk to. Good interview all around.
Love the Rick the Temp shout out
Renee is the best. No other comments needed.
Renee is the best. Great interview. 👍
It's ridiculous that someone told Renee she'd never be a star with WWE. I just remember watching her when she was there and thinking "she's way too talented for WWE."
Awesome interview !
More AEW interviews!!!
Excellent thanks 🙏
It wasn’t just ‘a music video’ it was a freaking Tom Green music video!
Ariel Helwani uploading good content keep it up! can we get timestamps on specific topic
2 people in the broadcasting world that I respect more than anyone else in the profession. May the money/success Gods bless both Ariel, and Renee, even more than they already have.
Fuck UFC Ariel, you're way better off!
been waiting for this since he dropped the nugget during the nose segment. good shit AH! 🙌
First time ive seen this dude talk about aew
Renee with the Tim Horton’s cup. Love it 🙂
I don’t even watch wrasslin but still an interesting episode
Love me some Renee🙌🏾
Renee is Awesome!!!
Thanks
Good interview
Renee’s the greatest ever.
That is one of WWE's biggest set backs. They think they know who should be a star and who shouldn't. In AEW, Aubrey Edwards is a ref and everybody loves her. She could sell merch (maybe she does). WWE has held back so many talented people.
Are we gonna get a new CM Punk interview!?!
Just going off the first few mins of the video is that it’s very saddening to see the company taking this approach with its talent because Renee isn’t the first person that has said this about the company saying to it’s talent they aren’t going to be stars, in the attempt to maintain their wrestlers to stay within the company. Ever since guys like The Rock or SCSA they literally took a different approach post attitude era on how they create their stars so they can remain big in that universe instead of being bigger than the company and losing their stars to Hollywood or mainstream media and entertainment. You see it happening with people like Sasha Banks to an extent, you seen it happen to Paige and eventually it happened to Batista as well. They’ll only create stars that is bigger than the company if they know that they can retain them like John Cena and Brock Lesnar
Now I can see why moxley wanted to leave WWE shitty to there workers especially to a jewl like Renne
Jewel
Love the Canadian references.
12:00
I worked for somebody exactly like Vince. She was 76 and would unfairly yell at all her employees and would stick to her old school business ways. She was very cocky since we were the oldest, most established company in that field. Even though newer companies were overtaking us, she would be in denial and would not change her ways. Fast forward a couple of years, the company collapsed and she lost everything.
I still love that time she fumbled her words hard during the women's royal rumble
I love this woman
Is there a more likable person than Renee?
That was funny. Ariel said RF Video.
Ariel - please provide this post direct to Renee. I'd love for her to talk about it. Renee needs to do the following in AEW:
1. TV CHAT SHOW with Jazz as her Co-presentor - Her own 30mins chat show that takes place with the audience in AEW, sort of how it is presented at the Olympics or something. Jazz should be her co-presenter. That also include Forbidden Door discussion and meetings. It should start on UA-cam then lead onto TNT/TBS as an actual TV show and appear BEFORE Dynamite. Meetings with wrestlers from Mexico, Japan and other places (perfect for NJPW),
2. NEW DYNAMITE & RAMPAGE SEGMENTS with Jazz as her Analysis - She needs a 2 - 4 minutes AEW Ranking, Analysis & Wrap up segment on Dynamite and on Rampage (when it turn 2 hours) with Jazz as he would be the one to provide the analysis of moves and wrestlers while she provides the insight in Ranking position and movements (who Ranked up, who Ranked down, who is about to defend their Rank, who is at risk of losing their spot., what mega Ranking battle is about to occur in the Top 5., She should include a short fire burst interview with the one that is about to engage in a Ranking Battle.
3. BRIEF SHOW APPEARANCES - jump in AEW backstage segments now and again but not as a regular as those spots should go to others in the company AND Lexy Nair.
4. AEW OUTSIDE THE SHOW JOURNALIST/REPORTER - She should be an onsite reporter/journalist going to other events such as festivals and venture that AEW is taking part in (e.g. AEW Games). Final edits should create a 2 mins segment that appears on Dynamite.
The above is practically a full-time senior job. Extremely busy role to be in as she would basically be a SENIOR PRODUCER in the company focusing like a journalist and hostess. She would need her own team to make this all work smoothly in the company, which is a big frigging deal.
Renee, thank me later though I'm sure you've already thought of this and planning to talk to Tony K about it.
I don't think she even works for AEW.
@@wmxx2000 She said she doesn't. My post was tying to what she was talking about. Im basically highlighting a job role proposal to Tony Khan. If she is looking to do something in the company, that's the role she needs to do.
Renee didn't do bad at commentary. She was controlled badly. She was not good at all at it. but it wasn't her. If she was allowed to just commentate, it would have been different. but she was completely micro managed.
i love her
RF Video reference, I popped huge lol
*Ariel Heelwani is All Elite*
Good interview Ariel. I’d never heard of her before.
😊😊🤗
Floral Sessions
😍😍😍
Remeber brock lesnar originally from wwe, made the ufc popular
1hour!! She's lovely n talented tho.
45:11 She says swallow!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, and?
@@jonzel472 I just wish she said it slower. And? You gay or something? Hey, I don't judge.
Also at 46:55 😍
I loved much music channel
🐐🐐🐐🐐
Tbh Renee could play Mary Jane in a spider man movie … she giving me Mary Jane vibez💯 lol
Too old
That's why I laugh everytime Vince McMahon say's the Vince McMahon on TV isn't the same. That's all 100% who he IS!
Rene, Megan, Laura or Caroline from Bt sports
Algorithm comment
Seems like the coolest chick ever
Renee is too good for AEW.
I’d love to see her in AEW
Nice 😚😚
Imagine Vince screaming at somebody saying they ruined current day WWE product, which is fucking unwatchable anyway. You cant spoil shit. Its already shit!
What a mark…..”whether you may not know it or….uhhhh” like his first question.
AEW is what wrestling should be. WWE is so out of touch
Wow ,her Canadian accent is really thick here …in WWE she didn’t have have an accent this thick
Wtf are you talking about
Canadian accent lol
Both Renee and John need to come back to WWE and blow the roof off Titan Towers.
Wow Vince screamed at Rene. Yeah that should be a main reason to quit wwe.
Part of me hopes TK watches this, and immediately texts her with, "Dude, all you had to do was ask! I already got your All Elite graphic ready to go!"
She is better off at home she just had a baby
I don't see why they didn't market Renee in WWE. I'd have bought a _Renee Young_ shirt. ...is it anything like you can't dance at the strip club because the strippers will get mad?
Prediction: Ariel cries on this podcast 🔥🔥
