Joey Styles on Returning to Commentary
Joey Styles, who left WWE earlier this year, recently did an interview with the Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, and commented on his new role with the Evolve promotion, returning to commentary.
“It was a lot of fun. Originally, I wasn’t going to announce I was just going to make an appearance but there are people you know in this business and I am willing to work with people I know who come recommended by people I know. So obviously Gabe (Sapolsky) started here in the Arena, he started the Sabu fan club, he was selling programs, he was learning just like I was from the same age but of course we had different roles. So I reached out to Gabe about Evolve because they’ve got a lot of great buzz with so many of their competitors in the Cruiserweight Classic and we worked out a deal I am (I guess) the “authority” figure. I can make matches, stop matches, restart matches and I also make appearances. I call the main events with Lenny Leonard, who is absolutely phenomenal. My first match back I did play by play for the Evolve Championship match between Timothy Thatcher and Drew Gulak and Lenny was nice enough to slide over and do color. Obviously it is his job and his spot and he does play by play and I’ll slide in for the main events and do color commentary (which) is so easy and it is like a night off. I can’t believe people get paid for color commentary, the play by play man does all the prep and research and work and you just get to sit there and bounce off of him and hopefully be witty and you should know how to analyze the holds and the psychology and it is a lot of fun.”
