Former WWE Star Envisions Himself As The ‘Black Randy Orton’

Former WWE Tag Team Champion Darren Young, now going by his real name Fred Rosser, has said he envisions himself as the “black Randy Orton”.

Speaking with Wrestling Inc, Rosser described how Orton is an inspiration and so he tries to model his work based on Orton’s.

He said:

“The work I do now for New Japan, I’m just taking my time. When I’m in the ring, I take my time. When I’m in the ring, I envision myself being the black Randy Orton. No-one knows that but me. When I go out there, be the black Randy Orton but make it my own, the in-between stuff, taking my time getting to the ring.”

Rosser also discussed some things he learned from Vince McMahon, saying:

“Well, one thing I learned from Vince McMahon when he would do promo class years ago, and it’s still in my head, is a few things. One, keep your hands up. That’s one rule from Vince McMahon. Second rule is never be afraid to make a fool yourself. He would always say that in promo class. So years ago, I would do wrestling interviews like this and try to deepen my voice and all that stuff to sound more masculine.”
