Matt Menard replaced Chris Jericho on the commentary team for AEW Rampage earlier this year, and he recently appeared on the “AEW Unrestricted” podcast to reveal the advice his former boss gave him. He said,
“[He told me] just to be myself, do what you’re doing. I had already been doing it for quite a while, I started on Dark Elevation. I did that for just about a year I would say, eight or nine months. I was working with different partners, Ian, Excalibur, Tony would jump in. Paul Wight, obviously. Just be yourself, have fun.”
He continued, “Some of the best advice I ever received was, if you’re having fun, the audience is going to be having fun and I always try to remember that. Just make sure you’re having a good time. Even if you call a move wrong or if you mess up and your words aren’t right, as long as your energy is that of someone who is having a good time, that will translate to the audience at home and that is what I took away from Chris’ commentary for sure.”
