– WWE Intercontinental champion Big E. Langston spoke to the Arizona Republic this week to promote Saturday’s WWE live event from Phoenix. When asked about how much input he gets on his TV character, he said:
“There’s always give and take.The most successful characters and personas are extensions of the person who plays them. It’s pretty much me, for the most part. As a powerlifter, I kind of use those abilities in what I do now. It’s essentially me, but I’m still not sure how we came up with Big E Langston.”
He also commented on his reaction when he was told his ring name at developmental:
“Honestly, it was kind of jarring at first, but now I’ve gotten used to it. ‘Big E.’ is something people have always called me, but the ‘Langston’ part is kind of random,”
