Renee Young evaluates herself honestly on Twitter.
The former TV host turned WWE Raw announcer has been full-time in the commentary booth for less than a year. On Sunday, she took to Twitter to address detractors about her performance in the role thus far.
Here’s the truth. I know im not great on commentary, but it’s my job. I try to get better each week. People love to tell me how bad I am at it as if I think I’m great at it. So I should just quit? What would that say about me?Not easy to learn a skill on a gigantic global tv show

Well a lot of people say that but don’t realize that Talking Smack and raw commentary are completely different jobs. I’m a tv host and have been for a decade- so talking smack was my jam- commentary’s entirely different. Different skills.

Several wrestlers and personalities, both in WWE and outside of it, rushed to defend Renee.
People don’t appreciate how hard that job is. I’ve done it a couple times. I’m 1000X worse at it than you are.

If you weren't good you wouldn't be there. You're very talented and add something to everything you do. Keep doing your thing.
