WWE SmackDown Announcer Mark Nash Comments On His Introduction Of John Cena Putting Him On The WWE Map
New WWE SmackDown ring announcer Mark Nash reflects on getting the chance to perform John Cena’s elaborate ring introduction during his final reign as WWE Champion.
Mark Nash’s journey into WWE coincided with John Cena’s farewell tour. As part of the farewell tour, Cena won his 17th WWE World Championship. As he was a heel at the time, Cena demanded an elaborate ring announcement from Nash, and subsequently, the new WWE voice found himself a part of History.
Speaking about the opportunity with Chris Van Vliet, Nash would say that Cena helped propel him into the WWE universe in the best way possible.
“I’m gonna just say it. This [Stanley Cup] ring is pretty special, and that’s an iconic moment from the Stanley Cup. I don’t know that I will ever be a part of a moment. Let’s knock on wood that they keep happening as amazing, I don’t have another word for it, just unreal, amazing, incredible, as this last three months that I’ve had with John Cena. Again, what is life? He points at you and calls you into the ring and tells you, ‘Your announcement sucks. Read this instead.’ Then I’m like, okay. I get this elaborate ring announcement for John, and it goes bananas and viral, and everybody loves it. I’ve had the privilege of now repeating it for three months, and you know that came to an end two weeks ago, his last appearance on SmackDown, and I had a moment with him where I just, I literally just looked him in the eyes, and I said, Thank you so much for this incredible opportunity. Again, I don’t even know that we’d be sitting here if it wasn’t for that, right? Because it propelled me in the WWE Universe in a pretty cool way.”
John Cena only has five more appearances as a WWE Superstar. See what’s left for John here.
