Corey Graves was recently a guest on E&C’s Podcast of Awesomeness. Graves spoke on a wide variety of topics about his career and current role on the WWE commentary team.
Graves explained what it is like to have multiple voices in your ear during a weekly episode of WWE Television. Specifically, what it is like to have Vince McMahon in his ear.
Here is what he said [h/t to Fightful]:
“I went from NXT where it was obviously a taped show so I had my producer in my ear and I had my partner. Every once in a while [Michael] Cole would produce and jump in and say something but generally, it was very easy. You didn’t have to worry about hitting counts to live commercial breaks or anything like that. So fast forward to Raw, now I’ve got Booker, I’ve got Cole, I’ve got [WWE producer] Kevin Dunn, I’ve got any number of people sitting in gorilla who have information they want to pass on to me. Then we’ve got the wacky 71-year-old billionaire who decides to spew things out when he feels like it, and when he says it, you better say it. That was the hardest thing because I think on a human level when you have someone talking in your ear you stop. You stop talking. That’s your instinct.“

He continued, saying that he has gotten used to it:
“[Now] I can almost parrot something out as they’re still saying it to me. I’m like a word or two behind the phrase that they’re spitting into my ear.“
Graves has also been in the news lately for his feud with Booker T. Here is the latest on their beef.
