Former WWE Ring Announcer Samantha Irvin says she isn’t done with the wrestling industry. Irvin left WWE in October of last year. She vocalized she wasn’t a huge fan of ring announcing and wanted to do so much more in the industry.
While speaking with Busted Open Radio, Irvin said:
“I don’t really say much about it but I just wanted to have an opportunity to challenge if maybe it wasn’t just the ring announcing people loved. I just wanted an opportunity to challenge that notion. Give me a chance to see if it’s just Samantha. Let me be in a backstage (role), let me speak. I never spoke, not one time, except when I said, ‘Thank you, Lilian [Garcia],’ when she hugged me, but I’ve never said a free word.” (Transcript: WINC)
She continue, “I’m not done with wrestling at all and I now have realized that I will need to have an opportunity where I can make something, I have to be able to make something,’ Irvin commented. “If there is some work that needs to be done, if there’s something that I think needs to be improved and if there’s a way that I can contribute, I’mma finagle my way back in there when the time is right, wherever that will be.”
Irvin went on to clarify that she would not want to ring announce again. She found it hard to memorize and also keep her emotions in control.
