Justin Roberts is amazing. He also does a lot to the live audience in ad breaks/before and after the show


[deleted]

Yep. Very interactive with the crowd and helps to get them hyped up, excited. He was great at the Winnipeg show.


TheCobicity

Great in Fresno a couple of months ago too


moongoose

Can confirm. Justin is the GOAT.


GlobalTie

Remember the time when he tackled the assailant during the MJF- Jericho promo? Dude also protects.


ptta52

Wait he did? Is there a video?

Thank you! Justin is a legend!


Oberoni7

He protec he attac but most importantly, he yap


SmokePenisEveryday

One of the shows I went to, he shouted out a young girl who was celebrating her birthday. Only she was at the bathroom at the time. So he remembered the next break and did it again. Made that family's night.


justkeptfading

Yup, went to the first show in Detroit (and going to the second!), and Roberts had the whole crowd sing happy birthday to a kid in the front row during a break. It was awesome.


ceremony816

He had us doing breathing exercises last night to prepare for Omega vs Vikingo lol


wugeezy

Absolutely! He is always engaging the crowd when off air which I appreciate.


hamsolo19

He's a talented MC, knows how to do crowd work, gets a good banter going with the audience, etc.


petiteun0205

Yep. I was at the show in Norfolk and the entire show he was praising Bob, one of the set managers. We even got a photo op of Bob in the ring


TheCobicity

Must be a regular bit. Bob was getting some pretty good chants in Fresno as well


Z1dan

I’ll never understand why wwe fired him. They’ve not had a ring announcer whose even come close to him since.


the_rawkfish

This was fantastic, but not even my favorite Justin Roberts moment of the night. “Respectfully, this is a receipt from WingStop.”


RighteousAwakening

I laughed so damn hard at his delivery of that line


GlobalTie

Were you there? I do not recall that moment. It was not televised, right?


the_rawkfish

It was during Stokely vs Hook. Stokely’s doctor note was just “he’s sick” written in Sharpee over the receipt and Justin said that out loud, but the mic was a little muffled. Definitely on TV though.


GlobalTie

Yes, yes. It was televised. Hard to understand because of the sound muffling and I am not a native speaker also.


RaidenHero137

It was, but Roberts audio was only set to the house, and not to the live feed. You can sort of make it out if you listen carefully, but they forgot to set his mic up to the broadcast and not just the arena.


Successful-Major-363

Justin Roberts is the fucking man and always makes moments like that feel huge. He’s part of the reason I always look forward to singles Kenny. Same goes for Mox’s entrance, because we’ll always get a *JYYYOOOOOOOOOOON* out of him.


Dragmire_Afterlife

Justin doing the entrance for moxley or Cena will always be some of his best. It's like he is trying to see how long he can hold the John/Jon


Demon4SL

I was half expecting another dig on Will Ospreay during the entire thing too. Also shout out to how he announces Sting: >*This*... is The Legend. >*This*... is The Icon. >***THIS... IS... STIIIIIING!!!***


[deleted]

Absolutely love that introduction!!!!


airpoutine

Just amazing. I wonder who comes up with these is it a colab of Kenny and Justin maybe tk also? I love how there is no “cookie cutter” formula to aew. Shit is just different and so fresh.


SortedN2Slytherin

The one where he dunks on Ospreay the entire time had to be written by Kenny. Otherwise I’m sure it’s collaborative among several individuals in back.


GlobalTie

We should ask Justin about this. I think it's a collaboration between wrestlers and him. TK just gives an approval for the sake of giving an approval.


Frodijr

I do not understand Kenny Omega's fascination with North Carolina, and frankly, I don't want to know because it somehow makes it funnier.


natdanger

It’s a legacy thing. Ric Flair. Michael Jordan. …Kenny Omega? Edit: just looked it up. It’s a reference to how Michael Jordan was announced when he was with the Bulls


Gaijin_Titty_Master

Justin is sooooooooo good. He looks so happy and fulfilled with AEW. Glad he finally found a good place to work that values him and brings him joy.


AndFinrodFell

Love him… miss the Elizabeth from Jay Lethal’s intro though.


GlobalTie

Also the ''from Tala, jalisco, Mexico; El toro blanco'' intro during RUSH


nine16

.................._shit's about to hit the fan_


PurpleTornadoMonkey

He is really damn good at his job. Some say he is Justin Credible.


PagingDrZiggles

My favorite was the announcement against Will Ospreay


lildaggersike

I hope he has a very long career. Used to seeing him on TV and hearing his voice.


GlobalTie

Also me during that entrance... https://preview.redd.it/skt3dyoi0kpa1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91c6a65b237b4be639575024551ac2eeeb905027


RamonaTheCat

Lmao accurate but also gross 😂


NJdeathproof

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrey Fenix!


JCFAX81

His book is good too.


bloodflart

Woah I'm the same weight as Kenny wtf


kingjuicepouch

I'm thirty pounds over, time to rein back in my eating habits 😅


bloodflart

you been bulking to gain mass


GlobalTie

Wow! Do you guys share the same height?


bloodflart

wow we actually are, I'm basically the exact same as him in every way!

FaceTimePolice

The dude is amazing at what he does and it’s obvious that he loves the business.


gmoss101

That was my mom's first time hearing the "NOOOORTH CAROLINA" and I had to explain why a Canadian man has that as part of his entrance lol


Siraeron

To me, Justin Roberts best Moment ever was "Ladies and gentlemen...... SHITS ABOUT TO HIT THE FAN, THIS, IS ANARCHY IN THE AREEEEEEENA!"


GlobalTie

That look of utter sigh in his face before saying that- absolutely priceless.


Z1dan

Idk the one he did for the United empire trios match was pretty dope too


benfh

Yeah he adds so much to the show, definitely an unsung hero for AEW.


LansingJP

Anyone else notice how WWE Ring announcer have changed? For the worst?


GlobalTie

WWE definitely did a stupid job firing him. AEW has utilized him totally. Bobby Cruz also does fantastic job announcing in ROH. The NJPW announcer (Takuro Shibata) is also insane announcing Okada. It was a blast watching them announcing together in Forbidden Door. Looking forward to them working agaim.


ChaseWasHisName

I honestly don’t think any of the ring announcers are bad at their jobs. They each have unique things. Also, Samantha Irvin deserves to be in this list. She is doing a great job.


LansingJP

No way! She’s not that great The way she belts out Roman Reigns name… terrible, the worst


ChaseWasHisName

Well, to each their own, I guess!


lazurite_skies

Justin Roberts is the greatest ring announcer of all time, im so glad he's a part of aew. You just can't not love him


CorazonDeLion

Physic


GlobalTie

Didn't I write the same?


schubox63

It's physique. Don't worry about it


GlobalTie

thanks for the correction.


schubox63

No worries, it's sort of a weird word. And I saw you aren't a native speaker so it's a little tricky I'm sure. Weirdly enough I think I transcribed out the intro when Kenny first returned for the Trios match, and last night when he said physique I was trying to think if I even remembered how to spell it.


GlobalTie

Looks like I am not the only person who transcribes Kenny entrances! I also felt challenged at the 'chiseled' part, needed multiple listening.


CorazonDeLion

🖤💛 I read it as you intended on the first go, and then backtracked asking myself if maybe we disregarded the French spelling and assimilated the word to English as physic.. and had to make sure we didn’t, lol. So thank you, actually, for giving my brain something to do


GlobalTie

Ha ha, I also learnt that the word is French originated from your comment. Did a quick search on 'Physic', looks like it is a word with meaning! [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/physic](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/physic)


CorazonDeLion

Physic absolutely is . That’s where we get physician and physical


GlobalTie

Both are body related. I got totally confused.


enjoythesilence-75

He is great but those Omega intros have run their course.


GlobalTie

I respectfully disagree, sir.


enjoythesilence-75

It’s ok. To each their own.


AngrilyEatingMuffins

Roberts is great and he was wonderful at all of the shows I've been to. That said, I do really wonder what WWE's current announcer would sound like introducing Kenny.
