AEW commentator, Jim Ross, has acclaimed the excellent work of Joe Tessitore, who continues to deliver at high levels in his role on Monday Night RAW, having previously served as a correspondent at ESPN.
Tessitore became part of the ‘red brand’ earlier in the year and is currently a familiar voice on Monday evenings, calling out the action in partnership with Wade Barrett.
In a recent episode of his podcast, “Grilling JR”, Ross shared his thoughts on Tessitore’s performance and his role in the WWE’s flagship program. He said,
“He does a better job than I thought he ever would this early, to be honest with you. So they made a good hire there.”
“I didn’t know he was a wrestling fan. You can’t be as successful as he’s been and as informative, timely, etc., without being a fan.”
Ross also suggested that Tessitore isn’t the only one making strides in the WWE commentary sphere. He observed,
“Looks like they’re building their announcer base. It’s a good fit for them. Joe does a nice job, and I’m proud that he’s representing our trade as well as he is.”
The seasoned commentator, Ross, went a step further by naming a current WWE commentator he’d like the opportunity to work alongside. To learn more about this, check out the full scoop here.
