JNPO: MLW’s Rich Palladino on 31 years of ring announcing, road stories & ECW memories

JNPO: MLW’s Rich Palladino on 31 years of ring announcing, road stories & ECW memories

On a brand-new Josh Nason’s Punch-Out, I am joined by first-time guest Rich Palladino, a 31-year veteran of ring announcing in the Northeast United States in addition to MLW.

Ring announcers are such a key part of the live show experience and are often overlooked which is why I wanted to have an extended talk with Rich on why he does what he does and why he’s done it for so long.

Some of the topics:

  • The unusual way in which he got his first opportunity in the business
  • How he got hooked up with MLW and how it’s taking him to places he has never been before
  • Working for Paul Heyman as part of ECW’s New England events
  • His connections to the many wrestlers seen on national TV every single week
  • What it’s like to work a WrestleMania weekend string of shows
  • His method going into events and memorization vs. reading cards
  • How The Sandman and Bobby Cruise helped change his career
