Brothers and sisters of the wrestling congregation, let me lay it down for you! The Attitude Era legend and current WWE Senior Vice President of Live Events, the one and only “Road Dogg” Brian James, is considering a move that could shake the foundations of WWE broadcasting as we know it!
Ever since D-O-Double-G hung up his in-ring boots and shifted gears to work behind the scenes, many of us have wondered if we’d ever see him grace our screens in a different capacity. Well, according to his “Oh You Didn’t Know” podcashttps://prowrestlingplus.com/tag/road-dogg/t, the Hall of Famer is not only thinking about it, he’s itching for it!
James quipped, “I think I’m pretty good at talking.” And honestly, who can argue with that? The charismatic charm and unique style that once had arenas across the globe echoing “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls…” could soon be part of WWE’s broadcasting team.
“I would love, before I get too old, to do commentary. I would love to do the [kickoff panel for WWE PLEs],” he mentioned. Now, doesn’t the idea of Road Dogg spicing up the commentary booth just give you a nostalgic rush?
But here’s where it gets intriguing – Dogg’s desire to transition into broadcasting isn’t just about rekindling old flames or indulging in nostalgia. It’s about embracing a challenge. Being part of the live event management, he’s expressed immense gratitude for his current role. “It’s such a great gift that’s been given to me,” James stated, humbly crediting his team for WWE’s flourishing live event business.
But the fire to evolve and take on new challenges still burns bright in him. As much as his podcast is an “escape,” it’s evident that broadcasting provides an allure that’s hard for the Road Dogg to resist.
However, there’s a somber side to this tale. James’ past struggles with addiction and the grueling toll that wrestling took on his body mean that returning to the squared circle is off the cards. The lingering health issues from his in-ring escapades make a physical comeback unlikely. But, in the world of professional wrestling, never say never, right?
In my books, Road Dogg stepping into the realm of broadcasting would be nothing short of electrifying. The blend of old-school flair with contemporary WWE programming? Oh, you better believe that’s a recipe for some unforgettable television moments!
So, do we want to hear the D-O-Double-G’s voice chiming in during those pivotal wrestling showdowns? Damn right, we do! But as always, only time will tell if WWE will capitalize on this opportunity.
As always, grappling fans, stay tuned, keep those eyes peeled, and remember – life’s a shoot, but wrestling? That’s pure magic.
