Maybe we should speak a little about the new commentator before we congratulate him on his new job offer.
Mauro Ranallo was formerly doing boxing commentary for Showtime before he got the SmackDown job offer. Mauro has the ability to wedge heavy task and there seems to be no occasion to big for him to perform. Worthy to note is that, Mauro was the one that was tasked with the responsibility of doing the international feed for the massive fight between Floyd Mayweather, who has performed at Wrestlemania, and Filipino fighting legend Manny Pacquiao. Ranallo also has experience with Pride Fighting Championship and GLORY Kickboxing, the promotion that Goldberg considered fighting for.

We won’t be surprise if quite a number of WWE fans don’t like him because of his boxing and mixed martial arts background, but the 45-year-old has always been a great fan of professional wrestling. Mauro is not entirely strange in the WWE industry, no it isn’t! Mauro and Renee Young once hosted a professional wrestling show in Toronto together.

The main reason why Vince McMahon hired Mauro Ranallo is because McMahon is making effort to see that Smackdown improves as best as it can and there should be an increased viewership before the move to the USA Network.
Also, McMahon is determined to see an improvement in the business relationship between World Wrestling Entertainment and NBC, which is the parent company of the USA Network, stays strong. The network recently helped McMahon secure new advertisers, including Coca-Cola.
Now can we say congratulations to Mauro Ranallo on his new job?
