Slam Wrestling recently conducted an interview with Charlie Haas where he reveals the creator of the impersonation gimmick he is currently working. Haas says, “John Laurinaitis came up with the (character) idea and it got relayed to the writers. I came to realize that it’s not all about wrestle, wrestle, wrestle, It’s about the entertainment. I looked at people like JBL and how long it took him to develop the JBL character. I never gave up, I knew I would succeed.” You can read the full article at slamwrestling.com.
