WWE's Jackie Redmond Questions The Online Hate Directed Towards Samantha Irvin

Samantha Irvin’s WWE exit last month caused a big stir online, with Irvin and husband Ricochet on the receiving end of plenty of hate, speculation and more. Irvin was vocal in her response to online trolls, in addition to airing publicly her desires to try something other than announcing in WWE being ignored - something WWE were reportedly unhappy about. 

Current WWE personality Jackie Redmond has spoken out about the wave of hate that crashed down upon WWE’s former announcer, questioning how anyone could possibly have a negative thing to say. Speaking to Gabby LaSpisa of the Gabby AF podcast, Redmond showered Irvin in compliments. 

“The thing about Sam that I think people need to realize, because I know since she left, there’s been a lot of fodder online — Sam right now is following her heart. I don’t understand how anyone could ever hate on someone for that, she’s following what she genuinely is passionate about and that’s signing and that’s music. The reason she was able to be so legendary as an announcer is because she understands how to emote with her voice and she understands how to make her voice powerful, she knows all the ways to use it and to use it with conviction and convey certain things, even though all you’re doing is saying a name, which is crazy to think about. Her talent, she’s undeniable, she’s absolutely undeniable. As a person, she’s amazing."

Irvin is reportedly looking ahead to other ventures away from wrestling following her WWE departure.
