Rich Brennan releases statement on his WWE release.
You might remember Rich Brennan as the voice of NXT and Smackdown prior to the arrival of Mauro Ranallo. He also was a backstage interviewer for a short period of time prior to his WWE release last month. It appears that Rich Brennan has taken the high road after getting the axe from the company. In a statement given to Uproxx, Brennan said he was very appreciative of his time in WWE. He hopes to call hockey games in the future.

Here was the full statement.
“As someone who grew up as a wrestling fan, I’m beyond appreciative to have had the opportunity to do something so many dream about. I’m incredibly grateful to have learned from so many great minds in the business. In particular, I will always cherish learning from and getting to know Dusty Rhodes. Calling the action for some of the cornerstone moments of NXT as it grew was amazing. Hopefully my enthusiasm and passion translated to viewers. I’m proud of what I accomplished during my run with WWE. I know I grew as a wrestling announcer, and definitely got better as an all-around play-by-announcer and TV presenter. I can hold my head up high knowing I worked hard, treated everyone with respect, and generally went about my business quietly behind the scenes. There’s excitement for what the next chapter brings. I have a passion for hockey and would enjoy calling games again, and feel my style of calling wrestling could fit somewhere if the opportunity arises” (Source: Uproxx).
We wish Rich the best as his career moves forward. As a hockey fan, I would love to see him get a job with a hockey team!

I always liked Rich Brennan. His play by play was good, pleasant speaking voice, he seemed to work well with everyone. He wasn’t serious all of the time, he could joke too. I have missed him.
