Samoa Joe on Vince McMahon talking while he's on commentary

Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe filled in at the RAW commentary table for a couple of weeks before he was attacked by AOP. He was nursing a thumb injury at the time and was out of action when he took the mic to join Vic Joseph and Jerry Lawler.

Talking to Corey Graves on After The Bell, Joe spoke about how distracting it is when Vince is talking on the headset while they are commentating. He said:

“At times, it was distracting. It’s really hard when you’re doing commentary and Vince is on the headset and he’s like, ‘My God, you’re like the next greatest thing. You have the voice of an angel and the insight of a God.’ I’m like, ‘Stop, Vince, I’m trying to do the broadcast here, this is getting ridiculous.’ That’s tough.

“Also, patting Vic on the back, making sure he’s not tearing up between commercial breaks. That’s another part of my duties and job – didn’t know that. King [Jerry Lawler] is great, he just does his thing, he’s in his own world.”
