WrestleMania is over and it’s time to get back to business. Well as you may or may not have heard, we have an opening in the announcing teams! SmackDown colour commentator, Tazz left the company last week leaving JR short a partner. It had been expected that after retiring last night, JBL would take up the position but in his farewell blog at WWE Universe, he denied he’d be staying with WWE.
So JR needs an announce partner… Who else could it be? It got me wondering, what if we had a female announcer? Back in the day, Lita did some commentary on Sunday Night Heat, but it’s unlikely she’d be willing to come back to WWE full time. If a ex-Diva were to take up the position, it certainly couldn’t be someone like Joy Giovanni (Oh hey girl, nice seeing you last night). The chosen Diva should be someone that could add some life and colour to the commentary, a Diva that’s outspoken and full of personality. Which brings me to two options: Sunny or Victoria.
Both of the Divas have the gift of the gab and could come across very well as a replacement for Tazz, Victoria in particular. Unfortunately, I don’t see her willing to come back to WWE full time as she’s set her heart on training for MMA. As for Sunny, she’s not got much going on these days so it could be a perfect arrangement. The Diva has done some hosting work for WWE in the past too.
Okay, so we all know that a female announcer is highly unlikely, but I’m just putting it out there!

I Guess Sunny would be interesting.
I actually heard rumours that WWE were considering hiring Sunny for an announcing spot. I hope they do, she’s always been entertaining to me and doesn’t have an annoying high-pitched voice like a lot of the divas do.
mpezza I’ve heard that rumor too.
Even though I’m not a huge Sunny fan, I would still love to see her a commentator. It would be interesting!
On a side note, did you guys see her help Torrie after she got eleminated? I thought that was sweet. She like ran towards her.
First off, for this arrangement to work, this would involve WWE actually caring about its women enough to grant her this position. Personally, I would love it. Additionally, I’ve always liked the idea of having a female referee for all the Divas matches. Like, how Tracy Brooks sometimes officiates the Knockout matches on TNA. Except, this way WWE seriously trains a woman to be a referee, preferably an existing female wrestler. I think Maria would make a much better referee than she does a wrestler. I think it would help forming a more well-rounded and respected women’s division.
This would be interesting, and something new. They could at least see how it worked out. It’s not like they haven’t taken chances with commentators before (see Mike Adamle).
Interesting enough, I emailed Jim Ross about a female announcer a month or so ago. I mentioned Ivory, Sunny and Victoria as ones I could see filling the seat. He responded that all three would do very well, and that he would add Natalya to the list.
DO IT WWE!
lol
Sunny would actually be a pretty interesting commentary choice. I think WWE should do it!
i love it.
Sunny would be good but i would kill to see Torrie Wilson haha
hopefully they get someone good for the job
