TNA Wrestling star Josh Alexander recently spoke with Fightful on a number of topics including his and his wife, Jade Chung’s reaction in her new role as TNA ring announcer.
Alexander said, “Well, my reaction is, being supportive and being like, ‘Oh, yeah, you’re gonna kill it. You’re gonna be awesome.’ Her reaction initially was, ‘Uh, I hate the sound my voice. What am I gonna do? Oh, my God,’ you know what I mean? All this stuff going through her head. But I know my wife better than anybody, I’d hope. I know how hard of a worker she is. Whatever things she has to do, she’s gonna hit it full force, much like myself, in pro wrestling. It’s been, I’m gonna say, fun.”
Alexander also talked about what Chung did to prepare for the role.
Alexander said, “But having her watch Samantha Irvin and telling everybody to quiet down while she’s introducing people so she can study tape and then watching her practice and memorize so that she doesn’t have to read cue cards while she’s doing it. It’s just very impressive and I’m very proud of how hard she’s worked at it. To see her from a show to show basis improve, all these little things that people give her tips on. She’ll finish at Hard to Kill and they’ll be like, ‘Ah, maybe try this,’ and then she’ll fix it by the next day when we have IMPACT tapings. That’s how seriously she takes this, man. She wants to be the best at whatever she does, and that’s something that I sympathize with. So it’s really cool.”
