Jason Sensation Recalls Being Used To Rib Talent Backstage In WWE

Jason Sensation saw his talent for impressions used to rib talent backstage during his time there. The lifelong wrestling fan found himself working with the company through his impression work, in the late 1990s through 2000.

Sensation recounted a couple stories of ribbing talent during his appearance on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. You can see the highlights below:

On What It Was Like Backstage As a Fan:

“I guess at first I was kind of a mark, just so happy to be there, didn’t know the rules. I just didn’t even care. I was just so happy going up and asking for pictures, but I sort of had gotten over with the boys in a way that everyone kind of took it easy on me. I’d kind of been accepted, so I didn’t get tipped off to how to be professional backstage until much later when I realized if I want to be a part of this, I got to grow up and act like one of them.”

On People Using Him For Ribs:

“All the time, all the time they were getting me to rib each other, and oh my gosh, with voices, people would get me to call different guys at night… One time I called Billy Gunn as Austin. I think Carl De Marco got me to do it, and I called him as Austin. ‘Hey, you little piece of trash, I got a beef with you, you son bitch.’ I was losing it on Billy, and then Billy Gunn was at the bar. We witnessed him come down and like, ‘Are we cool?’ With Austin. This all broke out where Carl had to go tell him because Austin, yeah, it was so embarrassing.”

On Ribbing Vader To His Face:

“That’s right. Yeah, I don’t know how the boys [came up with that]. Something happened with Vader, I think he went to wrestler’s court. As punishment, they were all gonna get to rib him. Something along those lines. I think it was The Rock who came to me. He’s like, ‘You got to do Vader to Vader. You come out and you can do him. Scream like him!’ I had to come out and impersonate Vader to Vader in front of everyone. I was like, ‘Fear no man. Fear no pain. Vader time!’ I’m dancing all around there, and he’s just like the sweetest, softest guy, just with his head down. Everybody’s laughing their asses off. Felt bad for that, but you know they put me up to it.”
