![]() Graves also has a new WWE Podcast called After The Bell, which is half kayfabe, half-real. And no, I’m not talking about his girlfriend. It also added to the overall product, which is more than you can say for Graves, who all too often will spend the majority of a match shouting at his colleague in order to get a juvenile joke over.Īs much as Graves enjoys bashing his partners about their skill level on the mic, one has to ask the question, how many great calls has the man himself made? The answer would be zero. It was funny when JR and The King would argue with each other because they’re great friends, it was entertaining and you never felt any bullying was taking place. Those are his positives.Īs far as his negatives, how long have you got? His constant on-air bullying of Byron Saxton. He’s also close friends with a lot of the current roster which can help when he is putting talent over. ![]() He has a good voice and a vast knowledge of the product. Graves has a unique look that appeals to producers and Vince McMahon in particular. Things got even worse when he was put on both Raw and Smackdown on a weekly basis as well as every PPV to boot. He became too comfortable in his new surroundings too quickly, which made him lazy and dull to listen to. While he was at first an instant upgrade on the inane ramblings of JBL and Jerry Lawler, the shine soon faded. However, it was a false dawn as we would all find out the moment he made the jump to the main roster. He was a fresh voice, who could analyse the in-ring action without being obnoxious. Triple H, seeing the passion Graves had for the business, decided to keep him around and put him behind the announce desk. The tatted-up chap was a mediocre wrestler in NXT (he did win the NXT Tag Team Titles) before injuring his knee and being forced to retire. Especially to a man who has gone public with his battles with depression and anxiety.Īnd why do bullies bully? Because they see the perfect version of themselves in their victim and get jealous so they attempt to bring them down.įor those of you unaware of who Corey Graves is, and there’s a lot, let me explain. This will be called “banter”, but it is bullying. Goldberg is a "top target", so maybe soon we could actually see him calling pro wrestling.Famed NXT, boxing and MMA announcer Mauro Ranallo, was forced to delete his social media account this past weekend following snide remarks and comments about his commentary from WWE colleague Corey Graves. As of now, nothing is final yet, so this might not even happen. I'm not sure how Goldberg will do calling pro wrestling, but I'm sure he will find his part, and do just fine. Triple H has been in contact with Ross to get Goldberg to join the company, but no one has spoken with Goldberg yet.Īs a fan of the UFC, this would be a pretty big pickup for WWE. When Goldberg was contacted back in 2005, he was going to be the announcer to replace Ross. It's interesting to note that Goldberg is a good friend of another former WWE Announcer, Jim Ross. ![]() It seems like he would join the Smackdown announcing team. After now being done with UFC, Goldberg may now have a job with WWE. Goldberg was offered to join WWE back in 2005, but he decided to stay with the UFC. Much like Goldberg, Ranallo called his fare share of MMA as well, going back to his PRIDE days. ![]() This has come about with the recent release of Mauro Ranallo. It is currently being reported that WWE may be interested in signing former UFC Play-By-Play Commentator, Mike Goldberg.
