Madison’s Mindset: This deal couldn’t have happened to a better commentator and a better person. Ranallo brings to commentating a sense a refreshing sense of enthusiasm and passion that isn’t heard nearly as much with some wrestling/sports entertainment commentators. In having Mauro Ranallo, maintain the lead commentator position fans are assured that they will continue to be surrounded with the best possible person in that position in the WWE and their NXT in the foreseeable future. Often times, Ranallo’s enthusiasm behind the microphone has been captured by fans in attendance.
