Silly Little Guys Who Didn't Belong In WWE ?

Adnan Virk tried his best.

Between April 12th and May 25th 2021, the sports and movie broadcaster took his place at one of the most legendary (and legendarily difficult) desks in all of pro wrestling, ostensibly landing the Monday Night Raw commentary gig out of nowhere. Virk was an affable enough guy, but when has that ever been associated with anything World Wrestling Entertainment? Not least one still operating within the confines of The ThunderDome.

Virk was passable enough thanks to his prior broadcast training, but didn't seem to connect fully with the deranged activities suddenly in front of him, and wasn't given the easiest of rides by viewers online in the time it must have taken to wrap his head around it all.

Outside of being the man to call the infamous WrestleMania: Backlash Zombie Lumberjack match (complete with charmingly naff Twitter photo), Virk left no other impression, with fellow non-wrestling replacement Jimmy Smith becoming a welcome presence in the spot.
