10 Things We Learned From Sami Zayn On Stone Cold’s Broken Skull Sessions Podcast
9. You Need To See His ‘Mania 38 Commentary
Watching Austin and Sami provide live commentary as they dissected the match with Knoxville was a real treat. For example, Zayn’s insight on his opening Helluva Kick is great. He wanted to present himself as “the fighter” and play to people who might be tuning in to see Johnny more than him, so that opening blast let those folks know what he’s all about
'Stone Cold' loved the pacing of the match himself.
One can feel Zayn's enthusiasm for his "WrestleMania moment" pouring through the screen as he watches it back. Refreshingly, he laughed off his own energy by saying he's marking out for himself. Mark away, sir. That was some performance!
Sami also wanted to put over Knoxville's history as someone who can take a lot of punishment. Then, he put over JK for saving the finish by being prepared for the mouse trap rope to break. Earlier, Knoxville had asked stunt coordinators how to trigger it manually incase that happened.
What a pro.
