Report: WWE Allegedly After Former UFC Announcer Mike Goldberg

[AronaBeatsJones]

Now that Mauro Ranallo is now officially done with the WWE, the company have set their sights on finding a new announcer. Mike Goldberg is said to be the top target. It was also said to us that one of the key reasons Jim Ross was re-hired, aside from the WWE not wanting their former lead announcer on ITV's World of Sport or New Japan, was because of his friendship with Mike Goldberg.

Triple H believes that JR may be able to influence Goldberg to join the company and also assist in bringing him up to speed with the WWE product and the way Vince McMahon wants the commentators to call matches. It's possible Jim Ross could even produce Goldberg and lead him through his first few shows, but that job is more likely to be assigned to Michael Cole, who regularly produces the current crop of announcers.​

So UFC just got former WWE announcer Todd Grisham to replace Jon Anik, while Jon Anik has been promoted to replace Mike Goldberg, and now WWE is after Mike Goldberg?

Wish they would just go full circle and get Goldberg back in the UFC. #MichaelJordanOfMMACommentary

 

[superpunch]

He would actually be great at that job. He was almost born for it

Yeah, Goldberg was a beast.

 

[Candy Routure]

I hope he does it! I also hope Mauro ends up in the UFC!!

 

[RealMadridMMA]

Yeah, Goldberg was a beast.

[Irishwhiskey119]

He's had plenty of bully experience from MMA fans.

 

[JackWhite]

Watch Goldie mess up the names of the finishers for said wrestler.

honestly this describes pretty much every industry. i live in an area of over 8 million people but jobs are very specific. you run into people at different jobs at different times all the time. you leave and you find out someone you know is taking your old job or vice versa.

Mike: "The Blue Meanie is Undertaker'esque in his ability to perform at Wrestlemania".

JR: "No"

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

The flubs will be epic.

"Chris Jericho is the Michael Jordan of Catch Wrestling."

"Brock Lesnar lost the WWE Heavyweight Championship to Alistair Overeem."

 

[UL]

Yes!

 

[JonnyboyATL]

He turned down an offer in the early 2000's. He would probably wind up in Bellator before WWE.

I think goldie would be a much better fit for the wwe. Lots of sizzle and no steak let him down in mma but his enthusiasm and showmanship is perfect for WWE

 

[PapaBherd]

Full circle. Funny.

 

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

Might be a good fit for Goldie. Hope he goes and gets paid.
