— Renee Young was the guest on a recent episode of Talk is Jericho and revealed, among other things, the inspiration for her stage name. Young (real name Renee Paquette) said that she resisted the idea of taking on a gimmick name at first but eventually went with it.
She noted that WWE wanted to name her Renee Sterling but she wasn’t high on that, so offered her own options. One of those, of course, was “Young,” which she said came from rocker Neil Young.
— The Lucha Dragons were interviewed by CBS affiliate WDJT in Milwaukee on Tuesday to promote last week’s SmackDown tapings.
When asked about returning to the city, Sin Cara said: “Obviously it’s a city where they love wrestling, they love WWE. To be here is an honor. It’s great to come back to Wisconsin. Actually my high school coach in wrestling, he’s from Dodgeville Wisconsin and he lives in Milwaukee. Hopefully I get a chance to say hi to him tonight.”
