Well, from one broadcast superstar,
Tom Rinaldi to another. He, well, you might have seen him
on ABC doing some college football. How about championship boxing or
even Holy Molly? I'd like to welcome our newest
broadcast partner, Joe Tessitore. Welcome, Joe. >> It's great to be here, Michael. And folks, let me just say this. You haven't lived until you've come
through the entryway with Michael Cole at SummerSlam. Place goes crazy already. You are a living legend, my friend. >> Joe, welcome. And I know that you're a longtime
professional wrestling fan. >> Yes.
>> We talked a lot about this last night. You're very honored to be a part of this. >> Blessed and
honored to be a part of this. But this is absolutely not the Washington
Avenue Armory in Albany, New York, when I was a little kid,
seeing Chief Jay Strongbow and skipping school to go to PYX 106
parties with Big John Studd. This is special. And as you know, I've been coming
to PLEs for years and years now. I am psyched for tonight. >> Yeah, we talked a lot about
watching wrestling on WRG. Would you actually work-
>> That means we're old. That means we're very old. >> But listen,
I want to make an announcement tonight. Joe is actually going to start
on Monday Night Raw, Monday, September 2, Denver, Colorado,
will be Joe's first show. I'll be shifting over to
Friday Night Smackdown on USA. It's gonna be exciting. >> Yeah, tonight's good. What are you most excited about tonight? >> I mean, the main event,
Cody and Solo, now Bloodline. >> Let me tell you something now,
CM Punk finally coming out for a singles match after all this time away. I cannot wait for Punk McIntyre. >> And again, welcome to Joe Tessitore,
and I can't wait, again, September 2nd, Monday Night Raw will be Joe's debut. Welcome aboard. >> Thank you, Michael. >> Let's head back up to Jackie and
company.
