Renee Young Comments on Possible Future in WWE Commentary

Recent episode of the Busted Open Radio show had Renee Young as the guest and one of the topics discussed involved her thoughts on a possible future in commentary.

“I hope so! Oh my gosh, I would be so happy if that was the case.

All I could think of afterward, and not even afterward — like during — you know like when you’re in the process of something happening and you don’t get to absorb it all? I mean I guess during a three-hour show you do get a moment to absorb it, but all I could think was, ‘man I want to keep doing this.’

It felt like so much fun, it just felt right. It felt right to me, and I loved that. It was great.”
