Otis had a pretty good year in 2020, and he’s managed to work his way up the card as a breakout singles star. It seems that Otis has the support of Vince McMahon, but it was recently reported that Vince sent Otis and several other big men to the WWE Performance Center for extra training.
During an interview with FOX Sports Otis was asked about being sent to the Performance Center, and he said that WWE stars are “never not working.”
“I think it’s always been there. It wasn’t like, “Hey, we were told this and that.” That Performance Center is a tool for us to get better. If another big man wants to come up to me and wants to work on stuff, or vice versa. We’re always working. So, that report was kind of funny at the same time. We’re never not working. Especially now that we don’t have live events, so we can’t really get our stuff out. It’s just bottled inside in a little bottle.
Right now it’s like, we’re not getting that stuff out there. So, we’ll find more and more ways to get in the ring with each other. Which, nothing beats a crowd. That’s the one thing I miss to this day is that crowd, man. Feeling that rush from there. The acceptance, you know what I mean? Especially my favorite towns. Milwaukee? Good lord. Yeah, Milwaukee. We’re not getting that out so much.”
Otis was also asked about being directed by Vince McMahon, and he noted that they both have the same approach to his character.
“Very funny and very cool at the same time. I think we have the same approach with the character. I think a lot of things when we’re talking here is certain things like how do you walk? How do you do this motion? And he agrees with this and that. So, it’s just cool, man. One thing in common we have, we love AC/DC, man. We rock out to that stuff all the time. Talk about red meat and steak.”
