Earlier this week, it was announced that Jade Chung will be the new ring announcer for TNA Wrestling.
Speaking on a recent edition of the “In The Weeds” podcast, Chung commented on Scott D’Amore giving her a chance to show off her skills. She said,
“Scott D’Amore just gave me that chance. I’ll tell you a funny story to start off. I always hated my voice, and I mean hate it. I know a lot of people don’t enjoy their voice, but I hated my voice. Promos, I did not enjoy. I did them, but didn’t enjoy them. Scott likes to challenge me, and I took it full force, I wanted to prove to him that I could do this. My kids are watching, my husband is cheering me on, so this is something I truly had to succeed in. Scott was like, ‘We’re going to get you to host.’ Then, it turned into ‘we’re going to get you to ring announce some BTI matches.’ I have to tell you, I fell in love almost instantly.”
She continued, “I say almost because I was so nervous. I have never done any type of ring announcing, ever, in my life. I was so nervous, but I fell in love with it. With the help of Tom Hannifan. I remember, to this day in Chicago, he saw I was visibly nervous, and he kind of just pulled me aside and gave me some words of super encouragement that have helped me to this day. He’s helped me so much. Him, along with Matthew Rehwoldt, David Penzer, they’ve always been so supportive.”

White on a possible match: “If they gave me a minute, if they gave me some warning to try and get myself together a little bit, I’d be up for it. I don’t think I’m knowledgable enough on professional wrestling today, but who is the smallest guy doing the thing today? [Rey Mysterio.] That guy is definitely a legend, that’s true. It would be cool to bring Chavo out too. Bring him back into the mix. It’d be fun. I enjoyed it a lot.”
Efron on a potential match: “It’d be fun if we could get in there with some of the guys we worked with, with Chavo or even the Von Erichs coming back with AEW. I’d love to do something with them. If we had some time and prep and, especially if we were all out there together, that would be fun as hell. Who knows. Don’t count it out, that’s for sure.”
