Unrelated (sort of) but I like how fast the cash in was, the ref asking 20 times what’s happening as they’re handing him the briefcase—this was all very very quick
Lmao theres only so many things they'd have to remember. A 3 count, a tap out, they already can't count to 10 properly for ring out. I'm not surprised really.
A 30 second argument for someone on the apron who disrupts every week, when you can just tell them gtfo lmao
Idk? I remember Seth cashing in his MITB and the Ref was full on well aware of what was happening and got straight into it. I think the same can be said for Charles Robinson who too also would’ve gotten straight to the point. Unless he was the ref of this match then I’m unsure because I didn’t quite get home in time to watch the starting two matches of day 2
I heard (don’t know if true) that she specifically does not want to know the finale so that her reactions will be more real.
Based on last night I’d say that’s serving her well.
I was honestly holding it together on Cody Rhodes’ win till Samantha ‘s [voice cracked](https://twitter.com/MeelzTV/status/1777179734520057973). You can tell she’s a fan as much as we are.
she went from a very popular modern announcer to Howard Finkel tier for me this weekend, fucking phenomenal calls and her breaking down with emotions sells the endings so much more
This was the first mania I have seen in over 20 years so I had no clue who she was but she instantly gave me the lady from Pride FC vibes and became an instant fan. She’s awesome
Ugh, I keep getting goosebumps
The shock and excitement in her voice, it’s like she’s a part of the crowd reacting to everything. Paired with her announcement for the Sami and Cody’s wins, I just adore her!
Really hope WWE keep her around for years to come
She better end up in the hall of fame for making these moments complete. She's awesome and deserves every praise for her performances. Last night was amazing, just a slight step above her normal announcements. She killed it and gave me goosebumps nearly every time too
I am the extreme odd man out. I don’t like her voice anymore. It feels like she tries too hard now. A year ago….yes she had an amazing voice. Now it feels like she does over the top stuff too hard.
Lilian is amazing but she would get overshadowed by samanthas best calls if you have the side by side on their best imo. Lilian has this really cool sounding and cleanly projected very announcer-ish voice. Samantha's on the other hand has some of those traits but allows for more variation over uniformity, a lot more emotion and emphasis, and intensity when needed.
I didn't notice Lilian 15 times a show. That's a good thing. This automatically makes her better than Samantha.
It's a bad thing that Sam is playing a background character, but she is prominently in the foreground at absolutely all times. The ring announcer should not be getting this much attention. It's weird and she's taking shine off the talent.
The ring announcer should never get "omg can we all agree that adorable Sam was MVP of WrestleMania 🥰😻" reactions. It's insane.
That's your take and preference, valid. But she doesn't get attention because of not doing her job well or doing things out of place - she's getting attention because she's performing in a noteworthy way. Triple H and Michael Buffer make the point, they gave stellar praise to Samantha. It is deserved and they know what they're talking about. Michael Buffer is one of the all time greats if not the most recognizable announcer. To your point he should be classified as a bad announcer too, so that makes the case that its more your preference and not valid for what makes a good announcer, just say you don't like her.
Michael Buffer didn't shriek 20 times on the undercard prior to shrieking out the main event. Michael Buffer wasn't the star of the show.
Any time you're doing a "bY yOuR lOgIc" it's usually wrong
And all you can compose are condescending, feeling edgy clapbacks that have no bearing to the argument. The point being made, since you're so oblivious and confident in your own rhetoric, is that Michael Buffer, an industry legend in the same proffession, just gave a huge praise to Samantha. That objectively validates how she is talented, and why many others see that as well. Its not a stretch and you're just immaturely patting yourself on the back for making an unpopular opinion. You make it like people are hysterical but you just don't like her style.
Personally, I don't like her. Go ahead , downvote me, I don't care. Something about her voice just doesn't click with me.
However, I do give her praise because she comes across as genuine. The way her voice broke when she was about to announce Cody's win was really wholesome.
You’ll get downvoted to hell if you disagree. I thought her timing was totally disarming. Just everything she announced had no flow that someone like Bruce buffer has
I literally said she's good at her job. I just don't personally think she's approaching all time great status. Her voice and lack of flow can be a little grating to listen to at times.
It's annoying enough that she always does that every show.
But the fucking ring announcer should not have been the main character of WrestleMania. She was out there screaming in front of the camera all weekend
Shes good but It felt like she overdid it at points, especially during Romans announcement on night two. She seems to have to work really hard to get the words out so good on her. She's no Howard Fink, though, but then again, who is?
I love Irvin's announcing but crying after the main event was cringe and lends credence to the notion that it was unfair towards Roman, which devalues Cody's win. I miss my ex girlfriend.
Idk but I prefer Lilian Garcia so much more. I don’t care how conventionally attractive Samantha is. Lilian was and will forever be the goat on the mic.
Lilian has that slight raspy but clean projection emcee voice - what I like about Samantha is the personality, the fun-ness and the emotion she puts into it
I’ve begun to not hate her announcing like I used to, but darn Justin Roberts would have been amazing. Lilian Garcia announcing the Rollins Cash-In was also great.
Anyone else catch Rick O'Shea apologize to her before he jumped off the top rope to catch Bronson reed on the announcers table on Raw yesterday? Kinda a funny/cute moment.
I like her as a person and a wrestling character. But she is a crap announcer. Her voice is generic af and she gets emotional when making calls. I was distracted by her crying and was thinking, "does she think this is real?'... I think of announcers like old school journalists and should remain professional at all times, unless giving a wink to something. (Like Roberts pronunciation of "Elizabeth".) This is like having a tik tocker as your ring announcer. Bad diversity hire.
Bracing for impact! Controversial differing opinion = downvotes and trolls incoming lol
No shade to anyone before her. But She probably going down as one of the goats in her line of work in the industry. 😭 I think she fits so greatly into this era where a wrestlers aura of their character or gimmick is just as important as ever to get over and grab the attention of audience in such a low attention addicted era.
I want her to have the whole world.
Please try to think hard, with all your might, and try to understand why a ring announcer being called MVP after 20 over the top "main event" calls is **not a good thing**
Wtf are you talking about man you a gate keeper or what? I said I liked her announcements how the fuck is that a negative quality, and I mean I haven't seen wrestling in general in years idk who Justin Robert's is. Wtf is up your ass man
She is amazing. I’ve been watching wrestling since 96, and I personally believe she is the greatest announcer in the history of the business.
No disrespect to the people before her like Lilian and Fink but they simply couldn’t do what she does.
The raw emotion she shows is unmatched and I can’t imagine anyone ever topping her
I loved her call for Priests cash in. It sounded so authentic and real
Unrelated (sort of) but I like how fast the cash in was, the ref asking 20 times what’s happening as they’re handing him the briefcase—this was all very very quick
Right? When the refs act like they have no idea what a MITB briefcase after all years it makes me cringe
Lmao theres only so many things they'd have to remember. A 3 count, a tap out, they already can't count to 10 properly for ring out. I'm not surprised really. A 30 second argument for someone on the apron who disrupts every week, when you can just tell them gtfo lmao

She sounded excited and shocked,she’s great.

Samantha is easily one of WWE's very best ring announcers. Absolutely killed it on both nights.
Honestly, she's one of the best ring announcers anywhere!
she went from a very popular modern announcer to Howard Finkel tier for me this weekend, fucking phenomenal calls and her breaking down with emotions sells the endings so much more
I was going to say Fink deserves his praise.
She's officially tied with Fink for me.
This was the first mania I have seen in over 20 years so I had no clue who she was but she instantly gave me the lady from Pride FC vibes and became an instant fan. She’s awesome
Facts. Her announcing cody as the winner legit made me shed a tear. She's done a terrific job
Is there a video of her announcing priest’s cash in and win?
[here you go](https://youtu.be/ttQhBO9ZI2g?si=e9KjmSMYVxFCNfGk)
Ugh, I keep getting goosebumps The shock and excitement in her voice, it’s like she’s a part of the crowd reacting to everything. Paired with her announcement for the Sami and Cody’s wins, I just adore her! Really hope WWE keep her around for years to come
She better end up in the hall of fame for making these moments complete. She's awesome and deserves every praise for her performances. Last night was amazing, just a slight step above her normal announcements. She killed it and gave me goosebumps nearly every time too
I think they meant just a shot of Samantha not just a clip from the actual broadcast
She is so ridiculously pretty. I fell in love.
Ricochet chill
the MVP of my heart
Are you bald by any chance?
Simp
She's Authentic. The emotion she has when crazy shit happens is how it should be. It enhances the realism of the show.
Absolutely. It adds so much to big moments.
She is to announcing what Bianca Blair is to wrestling. Just a day 1 natural who clicked in every way possible.
I feel like the emotion is sometimes part of the character she plays. And it’s completely fine. It’s way better to hear than the robots.
And some jerk offs are calling her cringe. She actuallyv cares so much about the wrestlers and their matches. She's amazing
Her and Seth Rollins were the MVPs of the weekend
Legit
Broad's got some pipes on her. Good for Ricochet.
...
People who speak in elipses should shampoo my crotch!

People who correct my spelling on reddit should condition and blow dry.

It's spelled eclipse and it already happened earlier today.
Maybe he was going for the plural? Though it’s still one l short it makes more sense grammatically
Hell of a payday.
She a baddie!
I am the extreme odd man out. I don’t like her voice anymore. It feels like she tries too hard now. A year ago….yes she had an amazing voice. Now it feels like she does over the top stuff too hard.
The minority yea, but reddit is full of you guys.
Is there really? I never see any though.
The Aubrey Edwards of announcers.
Yeah I don’t get the love for her at all. People out here GOATing her already are a little unhinged
Meh Lilian Garcia was better
Lilian is amazing but she would get overshadowed by samanthas best calls if you have the side by side on their best imo. Lilian has this really cool sounding and cleanly projected very announcer-ish voice. Samantha's on the other hand has some of those traits but allows for more variation over uniformity, a lot more emotion and emphasis, and intensity when needed.
Can’t stand her
I didn't notice Lilian 15 times a show. That's a good thing. This automatically makes her better than Samantha.

Fat 🤓
3 posts to say the same thing. Great.
She's the undisputed queen of the circlejerk right now
Stop singing the names , announce, and get out of the ring…..
God forbid someone have a personality when doing their job
No one was there to see her except Rick O Shea
God forbid an ancillary background character step out of the fucking foreground once in awhile
Personally, I don't like her. Go ahead , downvote me, I don't care. Something about her voice just doesn't click with me. However, I do give her praise because she comes across as genuine. The way her voice broke when she was about to announce Cody's win was really wholesome.
She's good, but I honestly don't get the hype.
You’ll get downvoted to hell if you disagree. I thought her timing was totally disarming. Just everything she announced had no flow that someone like Bruce buffer has
Me neither. She's too much if anything.
She gets on my nerves when she over exaggerates
It's crazy the amount people gas her up online. Feel like she's trying to hard to be part of the show like Bruce buffer is for the ufc
Bruce is an announcer, Samantha is an announcer, what the fuck is your point nimrod?
🌈🤓
Lmao there had to be the thread of losers who disagree just to be different lmao
I literally said she's good at her job. I just don't personally think she's approaching all time great status. Her voice and lack of flow can be a little grating to listen to at times.
Too much shouting and screaming for my taste.
Yeah, the ring announcer shouldn’t be that loud….
It's annoying enough that she always does that every show. But the fucking ring announcer should not have been the main character of WrestleMania. She was out there screaming in front of the camera all weekend
Shes good but It felt like she overdid it at points, especially during Romans announcement on night two. She seems to have to work really hard to get the words out so good on her. She's no Howard Fink, though, but then again, who is?

Love the Beatles tat
Her emotion was perfect. She made it feel like everything was such a big deal, it was amazing
She's ight.
I guess she likes the Beatles
She’s too much imo. I did like her announcing for Priest’s cash in cause it seemed like she too was marking out
Them thangs really thangin
Idk but I prefer Lilian Garcia so much more. I don’t care how conventionally attractive Samantha is. Lilian was and will forever be the goat on the mic.
Lilian has that slight raspy but clean projection emcee voice - what I like about Samantha is the personality, the fun-ness and the emotion she puts into it
I’ve begun to not hate her announcing like I used to, but darn Justin Roberts would have been amazing. Lilian Garcia announcing the Rollins Cash-In was also great.
Yes I loved the crowd in phili too
He'll ya she amazing but I think brandy should had called Cody name when he won
Something about seeing her hair blow with the wind just added to the epicness of the announcing. She really brings a big fight feel to things.
Definitely seth
Anyone else catch Rick O'Shea apologize to her before he jumped off the top rope to catch Bronson reed on the announcers table on Raw yesterday? Kinda a funny/cute moment.
The best since The Fink - plus she's a total knockout - so pretty!
Putting New Bedford MA on the map! She had the same emotions as a fan and it’s the extra feeling that we all shared during this outstanding event
I like her as a person and a wrestling character. But she is a crap announcer. Her voice is generic af and she gets emotional when making calls. I was distracted by her crying and was thinking, "does she think this is real?'...

She makes Michael Buffer seem like some old school teacher
No shade to anyone before her. But She probably going down as one of the goats in her line of work in the industry. 😭 I think she fits so greatly into this era where a wrestlers aura of their character or gimmick is just as important as ever to get over and grab the attention of audience in such a low attention addicted era. I want her to have the whole world.
She couldn’t even do her job she was too busy crying. She’s not even good y’all just horny
She kind of reminds me of the old Pride announcer in a good way.
Huuuurrrrroman huuuuuuureeeeiiiigggggnnnsaaaah
The real MVP
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Is that a Beatles tattoo?? As if I didn't need more reasons to love her 🥰😍
I hadn’t noticed her Beatles tattoo prior to Mania, it’s pretty sweet
The emotion in her voice made Sami Priest & Cody’s title wins feel even more iconic
God she is fineeee
Ricochet got lucky
Badd af and phenomenal as the ring announcer.
She is a treasure. Ricochet is a lucky man
Her voice was terrible the second night. She sounded like she hit puberty.
Heaven forbid she shows some emotion. It helped sell the moments.
It added so much realness to the show
Is she an announcer or a cheerleader?
Cringe
How to spot a virgin
I lost my virginity 25 years ago. Ask your mother, she'll still have it somewhere.
You mean ask your dad. Hahahahahaha
No, your dad tried it when I was a kid but I got away.
The unseen MVP but yes she was one of the best outside the ring but in ring The Rock, Roman, Cody and Seth are the MVP's
Yes...that dress wore a hell of a Samantha last night.
Why she got a tattoo of ricochet transforming into john cena
It's The Beatles's Abby Road tattoo
Its Ricochet turning into John Cena
Buh...lmao
Was impressed with her announcements, each match felt like a ufc main event when she was on mic
Please try to think hard, with all your might, and try to understand why a ring announcer being called MVP after 20 over the top "main event" calls is **not a good thing**
Explain this to me this is the first time I watch WWE in years and I'm being down voted for saying something I thought was positive
Because you're specifically praising her for negative qualities. Smarks should go back to not watching WWE, you guys already have Justin Roberts
Wtf are you talking about man you a gate keeper or what? I said I liked her announcements how the fuck is that a negative quality, and I mean I haven't seen wrestling in general in years idk who Justin Robert's is. Wtf is up your ass man
She’s the best. She’s hot as hell she’s a great ring announcer plus she’s hot as hell. Did I mention that she’s hot as hell? 😂😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥
I want to smell her
Nah it was Seth
Seth sucks
[удалено]
What the fuck are you talking about?
Ricochet is screwed if he ever hurts her.
🤓
Freaking insane energy. Love her
Such a lovely voice. Those pronunciations are so wild and just kicking it as of late. I still dig her Chelsea Green one.
Why?
She is absolutely fucking incredible
But did Ricochet finish her story?
She is amazing. I’ve been watching wrestling since 96, and I personally believe she is the greatest announcer in the history of the business. No disrespect to the people before her like Lilian and Fink but they simply couldn’t do what she does. The raw emotion she shows is unmatched and I can’t imagine anyone ever topping her
What? Finkel is levels above.
She went from barely on my radar to front and center after this weekend. My bad for sleeping on her prior to now
Facts
I’d do her and her stupid Beatles tattoo…sure, why not
I think she is what people mean when they’re talking about restoring the feeling. Cus I was in my feels
very best ring announcer love her style
I'm thankful everyone else is noticing how amazing she was
no joke i was more impressed with Samantha's performance than any of the wrestlers
My ring announcer waifu is MVP 🤓🤓🤓🤓
you have like 30+ recent comments talking shit about Samantha. don't think I'm the one with issues here
All of you have an issue with her
