The Miller Report - Ambrose News, Matt Hardy Retiring & More
3. Another First Time Ever
Renee Young became the first woman to commentate on Monday Night RAW for its entire duration this week. When Stephanie McMahon did, it only seemed like she was talking for three hours straight.
She went a bit Susan St. James at WrestleMania II on occasion, reacting to moves with only a shriek, but a shriek is far more insightful than Jonathan Coachman’s complete inability to grasp the effects of a bear hug. It hurts, Coach. Only slightly less than your commentary.
Joking aside, Renee acquitted herself well in the role. She is an easy-going and earnest presence as a backstage interviewer, and bar the odd moment of hesitation, she transferred this over to the booth. She brought something refreshing to the table. There was no bickering on Monday night - just a downright pleasant atmosphere we really could do with more of.
