Scott D’Amore has high praise for Mauro Ranallo ahead of his Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling commentary debut this weekend.
Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling owner Scott D’Amore recently spoke with Scott Fishman of TV Insider. When asked how it was getting Mauro Ranallo back in the world of professional wrestling, D’Amore said the process of getting Ranallo back was pretty painless.
“I think Mauro is the best play-by-play man in the history of the business of combat sports,” Scott D’Amore said. “When you look at it pro wrestling, boxing, MMA, kickboxing, Mauro can do it all. He is the most versatile play-by-play guy in history. Having him here is fantastic. We’ve worked together for a couple of years. First in Stampede Wrestling where both of us were out of our teens. He was the play-by-play and I came in as a heel to work Sabu on top. That’s the first time I met Mauro, and we’ve been friends ever since. He provides so much passion and so much talent and credibility.
Mauro Ranallo reached out to Scott D’Amore following the announcement of Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling
“The process of getting him, I don’t want to understate it, but it was pretty painless. We kept in touch. When the news got out, Mauro reached out like so many. I was overwhelmed by how many people commented, posted, and reached out directly to check-in. Mauro was one of those. We were both at a point where we were having some changes in our careers that were unexpected. We always looked for a project to work together on. He said, ‘Let’s f’n do this.’ There is still a business side to this, even as friends, but we worked it out pretty reasonably for both sides. We kick off with the play-by-play announcer out there. I’m stoked.”
