18 Things We Learned From Former Ring Announcer Justin Roberts' AMA
18. Did Wrestlers Ever Make Special Requests?
One fan asked if any of the wrestlers ever made special requests to Justin, such as how he would pronounce their name to make it stand out, alluding to the over-the-top way he was known for introducing John Cena.
Justin said that in all the years he was with WWE he never once had someone ask him to say their name a certain way. He does admit they'd request that he'd change their weight if they'd lost or gained a few pounds, or even adjust their hometown when they were in certain cities.
When someone asked for clarification on whether or not their announced weights are legit, Roberts said they aren't, but that Vince did go through a short-lived phase where he wanted to use the talent's actual weights before quickly returning to kayfabe weights.
He replied that he never really received any feedback from the talent, although they were all big fans of his closing line of, "I hope you had a great time!" that he'd deliver at the end of each show.
