A Staple of Dana White’s UFC Prompted Billionaire Vince McMahon to Make Major Change in WWE

Vince McMahon and his ideas have made the three letters organization the greatest in pro wrestling history. The Big Man never missed an opportunity to experiment with how the objective could be turned in different directions. He would keep upgrading the little components.

Recently, Justin Roberts, made some remarks on ‘Talk Is Jericho’ regarding a particular aspect of UFC. Apparently, that caused The Big Man to make a significant shift in the WWE back then.

In sports, commentary serves as the soundtrack and keeps the spectators on the edge of their seats. The announcer similarly builds the tone of the contest with their introductions of the stars in combat sports.

Bruce Buffer is a legendary announcer at UFC who frequently gives the crowd goosebumps with his introductions. However, Roberts revealed in his conversation that, after seeing Buffer’s UFC introduction, McMahon asked him to tone down his own way of introducing the wrestlers.

Buffer has been with the UFC Octagon announcer for a long time. In fact, he is a staple in the promotion and fans look forward to the hype he creates. However, Vince McMahon didn’t feel the same.

What made Vince McMahon ask Roberts to be more subdued?

If you have been a longtime WWE fan, you might remember that Roberts used to introduce superstars like John Cena or The Undertaker in an empowering way, since they are sports legends. However, after watching UFC, McMahon asked Roberts to simplify his announcement.

As fans know, McMahon has had a peculiar way of making decisions in the promotion.

Talking to Jericho, he stated, “I got called literally out of the ring before we did the biggest Royal Rumble in history in Boston. I think he had just seen UFC. This is what I was told, that he had just seen UFC and he did not like Bruce Buffer and thought he was too over the top. So he talked to me about toning everything down.”

Making such a dramatic announcement, in McMahon’s opinion, would be too over the top. Perhaps, similar to how he felt during UFC’s Buffer’s introductions. Later, McMahon, who is renowned for making swift decisions, ordered Roberts to give everyone’s introductions in the same low tone.

Thus, it was a major change in the way McMahon wanted announcements to be made.
