During an interview on Busted Open Radio, former WWE ring announcer Samantha Irvin discussed never wanting to be a ring announcer.
“Growing up with Vince [McMahon], honestly, if there was a Samantha Irvin, Vince would have taken her off of ring announcing. He would have been like, ‘Put her somewhere else and have her do something else.’ In my head, I always thought that’s what would happen. That wasn’t the case.”
“I’m so proud of everything I accomplished, but ring announcing is not my goal, and I’m very goal-oriented. When I accomplished all of that stuff, it was, ‘Okay, that’s it. Now I’m going to keep doing it, and there is nothing else to work for or reach,’ that’s when I had to step away. If there is some work that needs to be done and something that I think needs to be improved and I can contribute, I’m going to finagle my way back in there when the time is right, wherever that may be.”
