Adnan Virk talks time as WWE commentator

[Chris]

Adnan Virk says he appreciated how direct Vince McMahon was with his feedback.

Virk was the play-by-play commentator for WWE Raw from April 12, 2021, until he was released on May 25, 2021. He appeared on the Sports Media podcast recently and spoke about his short time in the company.

"I was only there for seven weeks, but I tell ya, it was such an overwhelming experience," Adnan said. "Obviously, I was being criticized heavily in all corners."

He continued to say that the current Raw commentator, Kevin Patrick, offered him some advice during this time.

"He came over to me and he was like, 'Listen, I know what you're going through. We are not from this world.'"

"In that wrestling world, you're not one of us, you don't belong here. And he goes, 'I feel that too, I'm coming from MLS and soccer, you're coming from baseball and ESPN, so I sympathize with you. Every time I hear you calling this stuff, I'm like, man, don't check Twitter.'"

Virk continued to talk about what it was like working with Vince McMahon.

"Vince was very cordial. He was respectful. He's not hobnobbing in the locker room asking what I think about the [Toronto Blue] Jays but at the same time, he wasn't screaming at me every five minutes. He does his own thing and he would be very direct, he was very blunt with his feedback. He's not in the mood to offer pleasantries but at the same time, I appreciate a direct approach."

Virk was alright I didn't have any problems with him or Jimmy or Kevin now think they are all fine

Only problem is WWE bringing in legitimate sports commentators and expecting them to be like Michael Cole.
