Todd Grisham leaves WWE

Quote :

Todd Grisham finished up with WWE at tonight's WWE NXT TV tapings. He is leaving the company to take a position at ESPN.

According to sources, there had been talk backstage within WWE of Grisham leaving for the last few months. His WWE responsibilities had been greatly scaled back over the last year or so.

Fellow announcer William Regal acknowledged during the NXT broadcast that Grisham was leaving.

Regal later wrote the following on Twitter:

“I would like to thank @todd_grisham for all his help get me through NXT.Best wishes for your new career at ESPN.”

It should be noted that Grisham used to do play by play for numerous soccer games on FOX Sports. He had been with WWE since 2004 and hosted shows such as ECW, NXT, Byte This, Sunday Night Heat and The Bottom Line. No word yet if Grisham will still call Major League Soccer games.

Best. News. Ever!

Who'll move to NXT commentating then?
Hopefully Abe Washington.

good he was shit

and nothing of value was lost

I thought he was on par with Josh Matthews. That's not neccassarily a compliment but I don't think he stood out for being shit. Can't comment on William Regal or Scott Stanford as I don't watch NXT (has that still not ended?) and Superstars.

The current season of NXT is taken the piss, it sbeen going on for ages.

fuck sake i didn't even no that was still going till i was flicking through and saw it last night

And the winner just moves onto the next season, right? Titus O'Neill (hope that's his name?) will be a 10 year veteran before he moves up to RAW or SmackDown.

fucking hell we dont get tough enough but we have to put up with this shit.

Everytime I flick past it, Maryse seems to be getting sexually harassed by Hornswoggle. Watching midgets get it on with models late at night isn't my thing, perhaps contrary to popular belief.
