AEW’s Jim Ross has praised the work of Joe Tessitore, as the former ESPN correspondent continues to impress in his role on Monday Night RAW.
Tessitore joined the red brand earlier this year and is currently calling action on Monday nights alongside Wade Barrett.
On a recent edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, Jim Ross weighed in on Tessitore’s role on the red brand so far. He said,
“He does a better job than I thought he ever would this early, to be honest with you. So they made a good hire there.
“I didn’t know he was a wrestling fan. You can’t be as successful as he’s been and as informative, timely, etc., without being a fan.”
Ross added that in addition to Tessitore, WWE is building a strong base throughout its commentary teams. He said,
“Looks like they’re building their announcer base. It’s a good fit for them. Joe does a nice job, and I’m proud that he’s representing our trade as well as he is.”
