Joey Styles To Announce Taboo Tuesday Tonight




Page 1 of 2:      1    2   Next  >>
From WWE.com:

Earlier today, former ECW announcer Joey Styles was spotted backstage at Taboo Tuesday.

WWE.com: Why are you here and who invited you? Joey Styles: I was invited by Kevin Dunn (Executive Vice President of WWE Television Production). Because Jonathan Coachman will be getting his head kicked in during his match tonight, there was an opening at the announce table, so I was brought in for the night to do play-by-play. Being a huge Internet wrestling fan, I couldnt think of anything that would be more fun than Taboo Tuesday  the interactive pay-per-view. I think its a great idea to have fans pick the stipulations for the matches. Im a little surprised the fans didnt get to choose an announcer for Taboo Tuesday, but I like to think that if fans did get to choose, they would have chosen me.

WWE.com: What do you think lead WWE to calling you? Styles: Im sure the decision to call me was made a few seconds after WWEs original choice realized he didnt know enough about professional wrestling to fill the shoes of Jim Ross, even for one night.

WWE.com: At this point, do you know if this is another one night stand for you? Or is this a permanent move for you into the RAW announce booth? Styles: As far as I know, this is another one night stand, which is funny because I was never the most successful single person in the world. The only pickup line that ever worked for me was Will you marry me? So Ive now had two one night stands in one calendar year, which is probably more than I had in my entire single life.

WWE.com: At this point, has WWE told you anything about your future past Taboo Tuesday? Styles: First of all, I want to say that I think Jim Ross was the greatest play-by-play man there has ever been in professional wrestling. I dont think anybody could fill his shoes, his hat or his headset. But Id like to think if somebody can, it would be me. It would be an honor. As far as I know, though, I was brought in for one evening because Coach cannot wrestle and do play-by-play at the same time, and some would argue that he cant do either. So Im just here for the one night. Ill be doing play-by-play tonight. Then Ill be on a plane, going back to my anonymous career in advertising sales in Atlanta. While Im here, though, Ill be sure to check out catering. The cheese plate was exquisite in New York at One Night Stand. I cant wait to see what it looks like here in California.

WWE.com: What will it be like working with Jerry Lawler? Styles: I have not seen The King since ECW Hardcore Heaven when he battled Tommy Dreamer. Ive never had the opportunity to work with him in the broadcast booth. Im looking forward to it because hes a lot of fun.
