Fans largely praised Jimmy Smith for his announcing on WWE RAW. There were others who said that he fit right in on commentary. There is a reason for that, because he has experience in combat sports.

A number of fans also reminded each other that they are comparing Jimmy Smith to Adnan Virk, someone who came in with zero experience calling any type of fighting action. Smith knows how to keep the pace and roll with the punches, no pun intended.
