Kevin Patrick says he is learning when to stop talking while on commentary for Monday Night RAW.
Paul Heyman was a guest on the most recent episode of WWE After The Bell with commentators Corey Graves and Kevin Patrick from Raw to preview last Saturday’s WWE Crown Jewel. Patrick reflected on his initial few weeks as Raw’s lead announcer.
I think the feel for it, if that makes any sense at all [Patrick said when asked what he is learning the most about doing commentary on Raw]. That smell and feel for every single moment within a three-hour show is quite complicated, and I know you’ll [Corey Graves] totally agree with that. You’ve been part of this business for way more than half your life, right, Gravey? And yet I’m sure when you jumped into commentary, at first, that feel for do I jump in right now? Wait, let this breathe.
Roman’s about to say something in front of the camera, like he did as he’s leaving ringside on Monday. Just shut up, lay out, leave it be. But at other moments, I’m figuring out that I need to jump in maybe a little bit quicker.
It’s all completely and utterly nuanced throughout the entire show, and it’s figuring out that feel I think, which will take time. It’s not something that you’re gonna jump in and, on your Thursday in a work week, have that totally and utterly figured out. It’s a privilege, it’s an absolute joy to be in this role and I hope folks will take to me and take to us in time.
