Welcome to another eWrestlingNews Question of the Day!

WWE has its latest addition to the broadcast group with the launching of Joe Tessitore as a play-by-play analyst for Monday Night Raw along with Wade Barrett.

My concern for you today is “What did you think of Joe Tessitore’s debut as a WWE commentator?”

Remember to address with your reaction in the remarks listed below.

As far as my response…

I believed he did a quite damn great task. He’s not somebody I recognized with at all previous to the statement he’d sign up with WWE, as I don’t view other sports in any capability, so I had actually never ever heard his design before. Upon hearing it for the very first time here, I downplayed it. It didn’t stand apart to me at all, which seems like I’m disliking on him, however it’s really a compliment. I indicate that less in the “it was unremarkable” sense, and more in the “it just felt like he was in the same position as any other that we’ve seen before like Jimmy Smith and Tom Phillips” capability.

Now, I will state that that belief does feature the unfavorable that Mauro Ranallo had actually came onto the scene making a substantial impression on me, so it’s not out of the world of possibility that Tessitore might have blown me away, too. He didn’t, however that’s alright. What’s more vital is that he didn’t feel out of location, like we’ve spoken with guys such as Adnan Virk and Mike Adamle—nor did he seem like he wasn’t thinking about the item at all, like what occurred ultimately with Todd Grisham.

Of course, it’s likewise crucial to keep in mind that this was his FIRST day on the task. I’m sure he’s going to get even much better and discover a comfy groove. But there have actually been plenty others that settled in to the gig and never ever left their uncomfortable stage, like Kevin Patrick. Right now, he’s the brand-new guy on the scene who didn’t make a noteworthy impression, however handled to insinuate there like he’s been on the group for a minimum of a couple of months. That’s a testimony to just how much capacity he has in the function, and I’m delighted to see him become it gradually.

I would still state if I were dream scheduling an all-time commentary group for the 3 programs, I’d most likely put prime Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler on Raw, perhaps a 3-man group of Michael Cole with Pat McAfee and Corey Graves on SmackDown, and I’d check out Mauro Ranallo with Bobby Heenan for NXT, as I’d enjoy to see that mix (as much as it would be appealing to simply make that The Brain with Gorilla Monsoon). But we’ll see if ultimately, Tessitore can engrave his name in the books as a go-to finest analyst of perpetuity. Who understands? It might take place.
