WWE Hall of Famer JBL appeared on Huge Pop to talk about a number of topics, including Joe Tessitore.
JBL said, “Joe seems like a really bright guy. He does a wonderful job with football and he’s very well-researched. I think he’ll do well, but you don’t know until you get out there. It’s such a different dynamic because you’re not a real announcer calling a real sport. You’re part of the show, it’s important how you call the match.”
On what Tessitore brings to RAW:
“You can’t just say, ‘I’m going to call this match.’ It depends who wins or loses. It depends on where you’re going afterwards. You can say, ‘This guy has a zero chance; there’s no way he’ll ever beat this guy,’ if that guy is going to win, because of what you’ve done is you’ve put the underdog way down there and you give them a chance to come back. If it’s a guy that doesn’t mean anything to the roster, you can say that, but you don’t want to do that to a regular person that’s on the roster that’s going to be there forever.”
