Former WWF Announer Wants To Make an Comeback, JR thoughts from R.I. Hotel Room
Mike Mooneyham of The Post and Courier in today’s article talks about former WWF ring announcer Charlie Minn. Minn was an ring announcer who worked for WWE (World Wrestling Federation at the time) in 1994 for only six months. Now being 15 years later he believes he has more insight to give to the WWE and hopefully redeem himself.
“I would love to return to the WWE. I feel that I have a story to tell,” he says.
Minn, 39 of Korean descent, believes now that WWE is global he has more to add being of an Asian background.
“The fact that WWE is global … just having an Asian announcer now would be more visible than 15 years ago. I was just a kid, a few years out of college, 15 years ago. I’m still young and feel I could go back and do a good job. People say you’re in your prime in your 40s as an on-air person.
“I don’t know if they’ve ever had another Asian announcer. Most of Vince’s Asian talents have been managers and performers. Wrestling is popular in Asia. With the Internet, the reach and visibility would be tremendous if he decided to go back in my direction,” says Minn.
“If you’re Asian and you’re on the air, it’s a rallying cry for Asian people because they’re so underrepresented in the business. I’ve been very popular with the Asian audience in every city I’ve worked in.” read the complete article ..Shawn Michaels taking much-needed break
