Former WWE Superstar and current Impact Wrestling star Rhyno talked about being the godfather to WWE RAW commentator Vic Joseph's son in a media session for Impact Wrestling. The ECW legend spoke about how he met the RAW play-by-play commentator when the latter was involved with baseball.
Rhyno on Vic Joseph
Rhyno praised Vic Joseph's work ethic and his passion for pro-wrestling. He also added that he did not like Joseph at first.
I don't know if you guys know the commentator, Vic Joseph, from WWE? I'm his kid's godfather. This is probably seven years ago now. He was in baseball. [He did a] really good job in baseball. [He] went to school in announcing and all that stuff, but his passion was in wrestling, and I [saw] that the guy would literally sit in his car for nine hours, one way, to drive to independent shows.
[He would] watch a show, pick my brain, and try to figure out the question he's asking me on his own. We put together a five-year plan, and he signed with WWE. When I first met the guy, I didn't like him. I thought he was a real a**hole. (h/t: WrestlingINC)
Rhyno also said how Joseph followed his advice and went to independent wrestling shows to analyze the matches and learn from them.
