I was certainly one of the people who was never a fan of his in-ring work, but I've really enjoyed and been impressed by his commentary and hosting work. Even though I wasn't a fan before, it's always sad when someone has to step away because of injuries. He definitely seems like a cool dude from this and some other behind the scenes stuff I've seen, so I'm glad he's found something new.
***** im certain its not a work..he would be working alongside Baron Corbin right now actually. BUT it could happen that in ..lets say 5 years he could be clear to compete again. You never know ^^
I thought I was the only person who heard that. I had to rewind it a couple of times to make sure I heard that clearly then afterwards I just busted out laughing
Hey Sam, how do you ask your questions man? You seem so natural and unscripted. Do you memorize your questions or do you think on them on the fly? Great work as always.
He was amazing in the indies as Sterling James Keenan and even so at the end of his career as Corey Graves. It's too bad that concussions made him retire but, I'd rather have just him now rather than never. "STAY DOWN".
FullBoarDaniel I agree but going on what WWE have done for the past 2 years with the guys coming up from NXT, i won't hold my breath. WWE never do whats best for business, quite ironic actually.
I was at that Starbucks Sam mentioned when Rusev and Lana were there. Unapproachable is an understatement. Alex Riley was there a few minutes earlier, as were Mick Foley and Miz-Dow.
FrazzaB when you are a pro wrestler like he was/is you probably aren't going to be able to know of the 50 million wrestling matches that have happened throughout the world in all of history
Its called doing your research people. All he had to do was google them. If he didn't know he shouldnt pretend to. Thats why he sounds stupid. Dont try and be a historian like mike tenay or matt striker if you dont know your history.
Gothic Wigga he said "fill the gap that CM Punk left". Rollins has become the top heel on a week to week basis that delivers some of the best matches. Hes got some mic work to do but he definately looks to be what a young, healthy CM Punk could have been if HHH was on his side.
I'm sorry but the part where he mentions how the crowd at the 2014 Rumble wanted Reigns to win is total bullshit. They didn't want him to win, they just didn't want Batista more...
FUNNY STORY: I'm pretty sure I read that triple h signed adrian and then much later finn BECAUSE of the match they had agenst each other in Japan, and I saw the match, great stuff fin wore blue tights and blah blah. Still like Corey Graves even though his facts are very Michael Cole.
I just hope Corey doesn't become the new JBL. Heel announcers tend to get annoying and not in an entertaining way. Purely because they disagree with and are negative about things to an almost ridiculous degree. Half the time I listen to JBL's commentary and think: "What the hell did he just say with a straight face?"
Is kissing Vince' s ass included in every WWE contract? I am sure he does excellent things in other areas of the business but the creative aspect is horrible.
By far, my favorite guy out of NXT.
I wish he could've finished with feud with Sami Zayn though.

This dude had so much potential
***** surely not for an NXT guy

Corey Graves and Mauro Ranollo are the future of announcing. Put them on Raw.
"What's Emma going to teach her, how to perform a misdemeanour?"
That line sold me on Graves as a commentator right there haha
I thought I was the only person who heard that. I had to rewind it a couple of times to make sure I heard that clearly then afterwards I just busted out laughing
rPk0hu I didn't catch that but that is funny
FullBoarDaniel Emma was involved in a Walmart scandal where she walked out with an iPhone case. Hence the misdemeanour reference XD
Corey is awesome. Great wrestler. Shame about his in-ring career

still sad he retired at 31 -_-
Graves really knows his shit about the business. Would actually rather him on commentary than JBL or Cole.
***** I think he is the best commentator WWE has right now and they need to bring him to the main show eventually.

Man, Corey seems like very cookie guy, and he is so laid back, awesome interview.
MCShvabo very froot

I do t know why they didn't bump him up for commentary over Byron Saxon...he would be so much better.
Really thought that Graves would know of the Pac/Devitt match in the Super Juniors...
yea he sounds so dumb lol i think he got mislead or "ribbed" i should say lol
dre nova he did say he asked Neville...so it wouldnt make him dumb if Neville said no.

dre nova
yeah im sure you've never said anything wrong..He even said he may be wrong
GREAT INTERVIEW SAM
So much potential
Love SJK, he was really over in England on the indies!
It is a shame he retired he had a future ahead of him I would have loved to see him compete with the guys on the main roster
I wish he didnt have to retire, i feel like he could have somewhat filled the gap that was left by CM Punk.
the guy in your avatar has that spot covered pretty well
Shanta Rashid no seth is his own character
Gothic Wigga he said "fill the gap that CM Punk left". Rollins has become the top heel on a week to week basis that delivers some of the best matches. Hes got some mic work to do but he definately looks to be what a young, healthy CM Punk could have been if HHH was on his side.
Gothic Wigga and so is Graves...?
Shanta Rashid kids like to compare and can't let go rather than let people be themselves
I'm sorry but the part where he mentions how the crowd at the 2014 Rumble wanted Reigns to win is total bullshit. They didn't want him to win, they just didn't want Batista more...
Wasn't this guy on the ultimate fighter I swear I saw him on the show a long time ago
Loved his theme song to bad he has to sit out permanently from wrestling. I think he would of been a great star for WWE

Kinda looks/sounds like Edge am I right?
Moe Howard sounds like
why did that broad just stop walking and decide to text right behind cory?
Probably his wife
+Will Strawn that's his wife....
+Will Strawn that was his wife.
Could have filled cm punk void
Does anybody else think that, that chick in the background looks like Sasha Banks? Or is that just me?
I KNOW HE MIGHT NOT BUT I HOPE HE COME'S BACK IN THE RING SO I CAN KICK HIS ASS
I wanna see Corey do RAW because they need to replace the whole team except for Booker T
FullBoarDaniel agree.
balar wrestled neville before (devitt vs pac) but he never wrestled kenta (hideo itami)..
lol he so fucked up his line..
Corey Graves is so Hot!!!
Ha! Insecure with your masculinity ... and fat.
Da Fat Guy! Because I am gay, I can't help that my brain likes men.
is that his wife?
yea

Sam Roberts is such a WWE shill.
The woman in the background is annoying me.
You mean his wife?
