Sports journalists react to Mauro Ranallo's SmackDown debut
When SmackDown moved to USA Network, Mauro Ranallo made his highly-anticipated debut as "The Voice of SmackDown." A veteran commentator for MMA, boxing and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Ranallo is right at home joining Byron Saxton and WWE Hall of Famer Jerry "The King" Lawler on Thursday nights.
The response for Ranallo's debut has been overwhelmingly positive from the WWE Universe, as well as fellow sports personalities and journalists.
