Former WWE Name Criticises Company For ‘Lack Of Trust’ In Announcers

Former WWE host Matt Camp has criticised the company for a “lack of depth and trust” in their announcers.

Earlier this year, Matt Camp was released from WWE after nearly five years with the company. Since then, Camp has been vocal about his issues with the promotion, including how they handled his WWE release.

On the latest edition of The Wrestling Matt podcast, Matt Camp criticised WWE for a “lack of depth and trust” in their announcers. He said:

“How short is their bench? I know the answer already. And you can make the argument, and I won’t push back against it, ‘we only have two main shows, put the same guys on them’. Well, okay.

“I guess Joe Tessitore’s showing up soon, I don’t know if he’s working with Wade or what they’re doing. But it’s a short bench when it comes to play-by-play guys, that’s all I’m saying.

“A short bench because of who is trusted to call the shows. Think about it. Really think about it. It’s JR and Michael Cole. Tom (Phillips) got his shot a couple of times, Tom should have been the successor to Michael Cole, didn’t happen.

“Maybe there is something to having that esteemed voice that’s there forever but, oof, it exposes a short bench and a lack of trust in other people in that role. A lot of moving around to keep the same people in play, to use the same people.

“The fact that Michael Cole’s got more responsibility at this point in his career to do Countdowns and stuff like that is wild to me. To host the first hour of Countdown, to do the Kickoff, like, you’ve got a lot of people that can handle that stuff. He’s not gonna be around forever. I don’t think he wants to be around forever.

“Maybe he’s happier now that he doesn’t have the same (backstage) responsibilities that he did and he can focus on being a talent, but man… you’ve gotta build the future at some point.”
