Joey Styles Signs 5-Year Deal With WWE

[Si82]

WWE.com interview with Styles

[hyperchord24]

WWE.com: How do you think you’ve been received so far by Jerry Lawler, Jonathan Coachman and the RAW Superstars?

Styles: Jonathan Coachman is and is not very much the person you see on TV – The Coach. When I say he is the person you see on TV, I mean he is cocky and he loves being a star. A lot of times he enjoys the fringe benefits that go along with being a star. He likes to go out to the hottest clubs and all that. But at the same time, The Coach seemed very uncomfortable doing play-by-play and was thrilled and welcomed me and really shepherded me through my audition.

Is this kayfabe or what?

The part about Coach not liking doing PBP is true. I don't know about the rest.

So what's the deal with J.R. now? Is he going to be doing the online thing or is he completely fired?

[RavishingRickRudo]

"I never dreamed bigger than this, so I feel like I am truly blessed that God and WWE has given me this opportunity."

 

Putting God and Vince on the same level. C'mon Joey, you already got the job, no need for that.

[Guest Human Highlight Reel]

Fuck yes. We suspected, but at least now it's official

[haVoc]

Styles announcing Wrestlemania.

 

That's fucked up.

 

I wanna hear him get owned by Tazz again.

[Guest Manus]

Great news. Styles has been awesome since taking over the lead announcing position at Taboo Tuesday. Even though I love JR, Styles is a welcome change in my book.

[The Czech Republic]

What's with that picture on his bio? Yeah, Joey Styles needs to look menacing.

[humongous2002]

This is great news, Joey Styles is the only reason I watch RAW w/o falling sleep.

[NoCalMike]

I think last night showcased Styles a lot better then when they were running with the 3-man team. The man is choice.

[Guest New Jake]

Kudos Joey. Now just get rid of Coach's redundant little hide.

[TheInsane]

I think they should make it a two man team. Styles is great and he seems to bring the best out of Lawler. When Coach is in there as well they all loose something I think. It just doesnt work as good as it should. Thats why I hope they get rid of the announce Coach because they also fired Bischoff (and of course The Coach had his head up Bischoffs ass for so long).

[Enigma]

RAW was awesome without Coach to stink everything up.

[hyperchord24]

I hate blatently kayfabe color/PBP guys. Joey does a good job not doing this.
