10 Ways Impact Wrestling Can Become Major Players Again
3. Sign THE Impact Voice
This is not to suggest that Impact Wrestling should replace Josh Mathews or Madison Rayne. However, the television product needs to take it up a notch at the commentator’s table. They need someone that can either push Mathews to be the lead guy or someone who can simply be the lead guy. Impact Wrestling needs another steady voice to lend credibility to its broadcast.
Impact can go the established route like AEW did with Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone or obscure like Excalibur. It might depend on the level of confidence they have with Mathews in the lead position.
An established commentator who should be on Impact’s radar is former NXT and SmackDown commentator Mauro Ranallo. Ranallo is as talented as they come and has also called numerous MMA and boxing events. Adding someone like Ranallo to the Impact commentary team would give Impact Wrestling a big event feel week in and week out.
