Bro honestly AEW hired Justin now it's time they hired you as well my man!!!You would be like the perfect interviewer.
Gold8neye AMBY (Alicia Atout) is AEW intervier
Bro you know he probably got signed on the DL and won’t say anything.
I actually disagree. Hear me out, as it's not an insult! He's a great interviewer at actually going in-depth into the real-life of the person behind the wrestler, and that's way better and more fulfilling to us fans than simple fluff promo pieces in kayfabe. It'd be a step down, in terms of what he clearly enjoys doing most, even if the money is better (and money really isn't everything, and in the long-term, he'll earn more by dedicating himself to doing his own, great thing and building this audience instead).
He's good at this but wrestling interviews are his side passion because he makes a comfortable living as an entertainment interviewer.
But then he wouldnt be able to interview WWE employees
I remember being like 10yrs old and finding Justin Roberts on MySpace. He had a PO Box to send $5 in return for a signed photo, so naturally, 10 yr old me gathers $5 in quarters and sticks them in an envelope 😂
A few weeks later, I got a letter back saying that he received an empty envelope, but hooked me up anyway. Good fucking guy.
Mailman had a big take from that envelope! lol
WWE: JOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNN CENA
AEW: JOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNN MOXLEY
Languérand Yacine jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeon
both got that JEEEEOOOOON thing going on lol.
Great announcer, him announcing CM Punk is the best thing
Loved when he would announce Punk in ECW.
@Gene Bone I guess a WWE title winning clown
@@blacktytrix who hasn't won the WWE title?...I've even got one. It gets tossed around like a hot potato
@Gene Bone aleast cm punk the'' clone'' who have a balls to enter octagon when a real clone like you dont do a shit in your life you must be the clone who doing a gas station cashier job
He announcing John Cena was the best!
Chris has been killing it lately, like these last 3 months have been non-stop amazing interviews. Good stuff dude, really cool to see you getting access to these interviews so often.
@Bob Ross lol
@Bob Ross right
Justin roberts announcing your name needs to be your permanent intro🤘🏼
I love it haha. It‘s part of my intro on my podcast 👍
This guy has an amazing voice, Justin got nice one too..
😂
all joking aside, they both got good voices
Haha
Man all this effort you put on your channel and you only have 140k subscribers??!! You should have 800k already!
Thanks man, we’re on our way to 1 million!
Chris Van Vliet Keep it up buddy. Wish you all the best
#makeCVVfamous
Chris should have a million followers already. It'll come though, as long as we keep getting this great content the followers will come.
no kidding!
Seeing this video showed me how much I miss this dude, wish nothing but succes for him
So glad he's on AEW. He also showed up on Sammy Guevara's vlog and did a macho man impersonation for a min.
I love ever interview Chris does, my only regret is I didn’t find this channel sooner
I know man.
Literally years later for me.
The best news is that you found it! and have so much content to go back to!
At least were all here now ! The old content makes time at work fly but sadly I almost ran out of old ones to watch lol
I'm glad you found it at all!
@Gene Bone He does the opposite! I've seen many who do that,chris is genuine and makes friends with them and tries to be polite.
What a LEGEND!! He is naturally gifted... One of the best announcers of all time.
I recommend getting Justin's audio book which he narrates, it is so impactful to hear his journey from the man himself.
I couldn’t agree more! It’s so inspiring to hear his story
Agreed, his audiobook turned me into a big fan of his. It's one my top 3 favorite audiobooks. Quite a good story teller, even with the horrible editing. Lol. Even the updated version with the Dreamer intro still has all kinds off errors. There is even a toilet flushing in between 2 late chapters. I think that may have been a subtle hint at his feelings of the company at that time.
I thought this would be an amazing interview when I mentioned it a while back. Glad Chris made it happen. Excellent stuff.
The best opening you've had thus far on this show Van Vliet!
There’s no question! Haha
What an honor that was!
Grew up listening to Tony Chimel and Lillian Garcia. Remember when Justin Roberts came to WWE; it was a different voice and style.
AEW is definitely going in the right direction.
Tony Chimmel is my favorite ring announcer
Mine are Tony Chimel, Lillian Garcia and Howard Finkle
A new voice and style you appreciated.
Justin Roberts is my all time favorite ❤️
and this is why I watch these interviewers, and its great to hear from Justin's perspective on WWE
Justin was my favourite announcer, great to see he's going to AEW
That intro though! Chills man.
SO awesome that he still has the tie.
There are so many memories connected to that.
The awesome nexus angle , his facial reaction , daniel bryans firing (and rehiring)
I love it!
Justin Roberts is a gem. I’ve always liked him but came to really love and respect him once I saw him work the AEW Live Show in Salt Lake City, so charming and very good at working the crowd.
I love how these interviews are getting longer and longer!
Thanks for being a fan Chris and doing what you do.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
ONE OF US!!
Justin Roberts was great. He will be a tremendous asset to AEW
Daniel Bryan purposely choking Justin will always be my favorite memory of him
Like andre the giant choking mean gene xD
How do you accidentally choke someone?
@@roodboy606 it's pro wrestling. Worked chokes are a thing.
I'll always remember him saying "THIS, isss a divaaaaaassssss contest scheduled for one faaallllll!" and how he said the word "Champion"
Waiting for that AEW Signing announcement as one of the lead interviewers. Hope that talk with Khan went well. Just getting started into this one but every interview is always great. Your class is always top notch and I thoroughly enjoy the fact that you are not an interviewer who doesn't let their guest speak. And your passion for the business is so genuine that your interactions with your guests come off just as that and its refreshing to always watch your content and see your interviews. With all these great names and this huge portfolio you're building up, realize you are a brand now and should definitely capitalize on that. You have worth in this business. Been watching for a while. Keep up the great work! Cheers Man!
Ring Announcer vs Ring Announcer Mic on a pole match! Book it VP's!
I'm in lol
I read this in Vince Russo's voice
Great interview! Alot of good insight from a great announcer.
Another cool casual interview Chris. I like how composed and connected you are as a interviewer man. Inspiring
Thanks so much for that! 🙏👍
Chris with another banger...and so glad to see Justin doing well...looking like he might get in the ring lol
He's already been in the ring
Great stuff as always, Chris! Been a follower for over a year and have never been disappointed. Keep up the good work!
“Ladies and gentleman ….
Sh**s about to his the fans, next this is anarchy in the arena!!!!” 🔥🔥🔥
I love Justin Roberts always under appreciated . Great ring announcer . Keep it up Justin
I miss when he used to announce John Cena in WWE..... Man those were some good times👑✊🏾💯🔥
Crazy to think he's 40. Dude looking like a college student a couple years out of high school lmao.
That happens when you take care of yourself and don’t have extra stress like having kids.
Always enjoyed Justin. He was cool. Loved the interview and especially the intro!
Justin also did a cool randy Orton intro also
“He is the viper, raaaaaaandy ORToooooooonnnnn”
I know you work hard to get these amazing interviews with wrestlers and other performers, but the end of this where it's like MTV Cribs, was pretty special. I hope that kind of opportunity presents itself in the future.
Howard Finkel, Tony Chimmel, Lilian Garcia and Justin Roberts
Are my favorite ring announcers, all AMAZING at their jobs
Justin Roberts giving you the kudos you deserve, my man! You are indeed a go-getter and you don't let anything stop you. You work to bring out the best interviews and time after time you deliver them!
Everything he said about you, I'm sure thousands here agrees with. You ARE the top interviewer of this day (In my opinion) and I absolutely love how everything just seems to be a random talk, more than an actual interview.
Thanks for the kind words Richard!
44 minute treat bois! You spoil us so much, Chris! Thank you again!
That intro was dramatic 😂
Happy for Justin!
weather its in a car or a backyard or a boat marina. chris makes the interview his own. and much different from most interviews out there. and when the person is in a comfortable place liek that. it makes for a better interview.
@Gene Bone still alot better than other ones that try to interview people. the ones ive watch seem like they never or prepared enough liek guy who does rf video shoot videos
@Gene Bone YEAH hannible is good too.
Don't forget the bar interview with RVD. The bar owner was kind enough to let them have they're own space to do the interview. 👍
Is your last name rood? That’s my last name.
You are literally the GOAT of interviews
I was really sad when he left the WWE, He's my favorite Ring announcer
Jacob Cass same
Can't appreciate your efforts enough, Chris. To make a five hour flight for an interview is just amazing commitment -- and the quality and efforts really shine through.
Thanks man! I don’t like to say no to an opportunity, so if there’s a chance I can do an interview I do whatever I can to make it happen.
Thanks for this interview. I didn't even know who Justin Roberts was but watched the entire video couple of times. Really liked it. Good job man.
Loved this interview! I wish you could have interviewed Mean Gene Okerlund before he passed.
I wish I could have too. He’s the goat
@@ChrisVanVliet He really set the bar high. Keep up the amazing work, I'm rooting for you!
Ever since I've read his book, Justin has been a favorite of mine. His passion for the wrestling business is amazing. Glad he found a new home with AEW. Plus, I'm stoked for the future of this channel. Chris, you're a damn boss.
I don’t speak English but watching the complete interview and i loved! Hahaha Thank you for this! Hugs from Brazil!! 🇧🇷 🇧🇷🇧🇷
These interviews are amazing!!
Lovely seeing this interview chris keep cranking it in!!
Thank you so much for interviewing Justin Roberts because he's one of my all time favorite ring announcer when he was with the WWE. He's really a nice person. Hopefully I get a chance to interview him someday. I consider him as a friend even though I don't know him personally, I still consider him as a friend. I am loving this interview!!!
This is awesome!! Man, he's one great ring announcer. #ruthlessaggressiondays
as always great job man. #applause #JustinRobertstoAEWconfirmed
Gavin says: what a fantastic guy, so glad AEW got him!!!!
Your on a roll chris another great interview
Justin Roberts was somebody memorable in a era where respectfully a lot of WWE none wrestling personalities blended together and left zero impression on me as a viewer. Where as Justin was a memorable figure and not because "He was trying to get himself over." but because he was great at his job much like Tony Chimel and Howard Finkel before him.
Thanks Chris, you give us old memories back interviewing all of our favorites.
I’ll never forget when he announced CM PUNK at MITB 2011 in Chicago.. my favourite ever entrance, that video gives me chills
An interview with Justin Roberts was something I never realized I needed to see until now. So happy to see him back and announcing with AEW
This is one of my favorite interviews you've ever made, not to take anything out from the other ones. But this just showed two genuine wrestling fans being able to do what they're mostly passionate about in life. Mannnnn the end part with the mini-tour gave me so much goosebumps, soooo amazing!!
I'm so happy that I discovered your channel quite a while ago. All these amazing interviews, also giving us a chance to see a different side of Wrestling personalities. I believe you never had the chance to interview The Undertaker and I guess this is one of your dreams and since you were talking so much about chasing your dreams, who knows, right? May be this opportunity comes around soon.
Justin seems to be a super nice person with interesting stories and an interesting mind, so thank you from us wrestling fans to both of you. Every day I check if there is a new interview up by you which I haven't seen yet. Keep it up and yes, you should have waaay more subscribers here. There is so much quality in your work here. Greetings from Germany.
I really do dig the positivity that Justin Roberts speaks about at the end as far as "don't just speak about your dreams," that is something that is infectious.
And his Oppenent, From Death Valley Weighing at 299 Pounds. *THHEEEEE UNDEEEEEEEERRRTAKKKKERR*
His voice is just magic
Specially when he use to announce the name of John Cena Triple h and Undertaker
Nobody brings undertaker out like him he's amazing
I think Justin Roberts is the best announcer today, his voice and a way of talking is iconic!
Honestly my favorite ring announcer of all time (with all due respect to the great Fink)
God I miss The Fink and his announcing
Justin's one of the most talented and classiest guys out there.
Been Waiting For This Interview For A Long Time My Favorite Announcer Ever
Great video! Love to see you two together, always feel a connection
Thanks my friend!!
This is why you’re the best interviewer out there, just busting out interview after interview. Incredible job man keep it up!
Thanks very much Nikita!
You're on fire dude, always look forward to your videos!
Thanks man! There's plenty more on the way!
I met Justin at Starrcast last year and he wrote, "follow your dreams" on my 8x10. I initially thought it was just a generic, here you go, kind of phrase. But now listening to him and how he thinks, damn that puts some impact on it and makes me like it even more.
Justin Roberts is a cool guy he was talking to me at a Raw Show in Chicago during commercials then he signed my ticket ! Sooo happy for him !
Why is no one in the comments mentioning the fact that Justin Roberts has a framed picture of himself getting choked out with a tie?? More people need to know about this.
He also has the tie itself right next to it lol.
This channel is so underrated. It's more than worthy of a million followers.
You are doin so many great interviews Chris, congrats!!
YES! The best ring Announcer Today! Justin Roberts.
I met Justin at a WWE house show in Chattanooga. I was on the front row, called his name after the main event and we actually talked for a moment. Seems down to earth. I’m glad he’s back doing ring announcing.
Great Interview Chris Van Vliet 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Justin Roberts :John Cena

I love every single interview that you have done, Chris! I have sometimes rewatched a few just because they were so good! I'm so happy to see Justin Roberts again. He's a really great announcer and I am so excited to see how well he does in AEW!
He's always been my favorite ring announcer than other has in.

I love Justin Roberts, such an Iconic voice from my childhood back in 2006 or so.
Roberts is my favourite ring annoucer. And thanks for the interview Chris!
Appreciate the work you’re putting in Chris. Great interview as always
Definitely taking a lot of inspiration from you, Chris. I want to work for WWE as well, & the hard work you put in day in and day out is mind blowing. You deserve many more subscribers, & I’m hoping to follow in your footsteps one day. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks man! Good luck on your journey to WWE!
What an awesome interview Chris! So much positivity from both you & Justin. This year is your year man keep it up!
Chris Van Vliet I Really think you fit in better working with AEW
What an intro and what an interview.
Right? What an honor to be announced by Justin Roberts! And who knew I weighed 298 pounds? haha
Was wondering where the 298 came from. He must've lip read that one wrong. Lol.
Heckuva "fan cave" as well. Great to see and hear from Justin again. Great work!
@@ChrisVanVliet You are svelt Chris.
Another great interview Chris. Love the dedication u put in to get these interviews. Then the interviews are so well detailed and great. No doubt that u will reach that 1 million subscriber goal!! Do the Work!! Well deserved!!!
Thanks for another great interview, Chris!
In my opinion Justin Roberts was the best male ring announcer WWE has ever had. Lilian Garcia is the best Woman ring announcer has ever had.
Fuck you. Ever heard of HOWARD FINKEL??? You dumb ass!!!
Chris excellent interview with Justin Roberts and what a memorable wall of fame, Justin has in his office.
Chris, your interviews are massive assets to the wrestling community and I appreciate you so much.
Chris Van Vliet, you're not only one of the best in wrestling, you're one of the best bar none.
Great interview Chris!
I agree with Justin. You're very good at what you do man. KEEP. IT. UP.
Thanks so much man! I have no plans to stop!
Ric Flair plays basketball on his days off I love seeing him play. Flocking in the last Saturday show was good too wow
