The Jim Ross Report Recap w/ Renee Young – Thoughts on Elias, Being Produced by Vince McMahon, Transitioning into A Play-by-Play Role, More!

Ross welcomes Renee Young to the show.
Ross says he enjoyed working with Michael Cole and still enjoys Cole’s work to this day, but he feels that Cole is overexposed on WWE programming right now. He adds that Graves needs to be concerned about that as well moving forward. Ross thinks someone needs to step up and take some pressure off of those guys at the commentary booth. Young says that Graves is a natural at the commentary booth and she calls Cole an unsung hero, adding that he’s amazing at what he does. He’s also been a great resource to her since she’s moved into a full-time role at the commentary booth.

Young admits that when she first did commentary she wasn’t sure if it was something she wanted to do. Over the last year or so it became evident to her that she wanted to get back to the commentary booth, and she really wanted to put the time in to get really good at it. She also points out that she’d be interested in becoming WWE’s first female play-by-play commentator at some point in the future as well.
Ross asks her if she’d be able to fulfill the play-by-play commentary role for Evolution if she was asked to. She says she’s always up for a challenge, but she can’t honestly say whether she’d be able to do that or not. She doesn’t think she’d be ready to do that at this point in time, but she’d certainly give it her all if that’s what it came to.
