#2 Former wrestler
Trending
Before being offered the two-year deal as an announcer, Corey Graves was an impressive wrestler down in the NXT developmental system.
Unfortunately, a string of concussions forced him into early retirement, and he's now pursuing a different dream within the company. Whilst it was sad to see, it was also extremely promising for his broadcast future because he had the experience of being in the ring at a successful level.
He can draw past experiences from his time down in FCW and NXT, and you can tell that he knows what he's talking about because his character work was exceptional in addition to his in-ring style.
If you need an example of why being a former wrestler is so important in this role then just look towards Jerry Lawler, also known as one of the most successful men in the history of that position.
We stay around this topic with another plus point for Graves.
