WWE releases Justin Roberts
 
Quote:


WWE has chosen to not exercise its option to renew ring announcer Justin Roberts' contract. Effective immediately, Roberts is released from WWE.

WWE wishes him the best in all his future endeavors.

wow

Simple Fan 10-14-2014 01:09 AM

TNA is foaming at the mouth.

Damian Rey 10-14-2014 01:26 AM

He's the best they got. Who's taking his place?

Disturbed316 10-14-2014 01:32 AM

Wow, surprised by this.

DAMN iNATOR 10-14-2014 01:41 AM

Came in here hoping the thread title was referring to releasing him from http://cdn3-www.wrestlezone.com/asse...9_0_daniel.jpg

But seriously, though...I'm both shocked and disappointed in this move seemingly out of nowhere by WWE.

Juan 10-14-2014 03:46 AM

Can't say I'm too sad about this...

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-14-2014 04:12 AM

Holy shit. Felt that he was going to be a lifer.

The Fink is the best they got.

They have a few that can do it.

1. Lilian Garcia
2. Tony Chimel
3. Eden/Brandi Rhodes.
4. Byron Sexton.
5. Jojo Offerman.

Tazz Dan 10-14-2014 04:31 AM

Woah, he was the best announcer they had. Legit shocked by this.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-14-2014 04:32 AM

Yep, he had the best announcement of the Undertaker and Triple H ( 2008 era)

Tazz Dan 10-14-2014 04:41 AM

He was the best they currently have, period.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-14-2014 04:46 AM

If Howard Finkel isn't coming out of road-retirement that is true. Probably not coming out of road-retirement.

there's no "probably" to it.

Cool King 10-14-2014 06:30 AM

Wow, this sucks.

It's already been said, but he actually was the best they had. I'm slightly confused as to why they wouldn't renew his contract, but now, I wonder who's going to take his place next week.

It could be Lillian, or a worrying thought would be that Lillian remains on SmackDown and Raw gets someone completely new, which if that happens, I'm so sure it'll be a woman, as the WWE seem to be really wanting to push women into prominent roles within the company these days.

I just hope that if it is some new woman, that her voice doesn't sound like nails on a chalkboard, like a few female ring announcers have sounded like in the past.

Cool King 10-14-2014 06:33 AM

Also, what a way to go.

You arrive at work like any other day, you do your job, then as soon as you finish for the day, you get told that you don't have a job anymore.

ClockShot 10-14-2014 07:27 AM

So, Raw was his last show? Wonder what it felt like when he got in back when it was all over?

Not many names come to mind aside from Tony Chimel and Lillian Garcia who can take over. Should be interesting this or next week to see who gets the job.

ron the dial 10-14-2014 08:58 AM

Heisenberg 10-14-2014 09:16 AM

Well stick two wieners in the microwave, did not see that coming. I think his face will find work, I hold no hatred to him, but I don't think he was the best at anything. That cutie from back then though that Shisen posted, what trailer park is she at these days?

screech 10-14-2014 09:22 AM

He was at least better than the girl on NXT. Can't stand her.

Vastardikai 10-14-2014 09:25 AM

Now who am I going to insult when they come to the airport?

- Some have speculated Justin Roberts was let go for a wellness violation. Others have said it is to make room for Kevin Nash, who WWE has been thinking about bringing back in a non-wrestling capacity. There is a good chance Kevin Nash will be the new full-time ring announcer for the RAW brand. Only time will tell what is accurate and what is hearsay.

If Nash is the new Raw announcer then I am completely ok with this.

ClockShot 10-14-2014 10:36 AM

What's Scott Steiner doing these days?

If he is, then hopefully he'll use the name "Chet Lemon".

Damian Rey 10-14-2014 12:10 PM

The guy (not Michael Buffer) from WCW wasn't bad.

Seth82 10-14-2014 12:10 PM

bring back Gary Cappetta

Money problems mostly because of the Network struggling and how badly the WWE has bungled things recently.

Lillian seems like a safe bet or maybe Cody Rhodes wife for the short term until they find someone else.

Droford 10-14-2014 04:33 PM

At least we know it won't be Eva Marie.

couldn't hear him 95% of the time in WCW because the announce team was ALWAYS TALKING OVER HIM
