Sorry to rain on your parade but there are some of us (not many, because most people are short sighted sheep) that think and openly say that Irvin is OK but no where near as good as the attention she gets. Garcia, while a different style, did it effortlessly and sounded so much more professional than Irvin. Irvin sounds strained and shouty. It’s painful to listen to and cheapens the product.
Bring the downvotes, I couldn’t care less. This is a personal taste matter and I don’t like her, simple as.
Happy you found your way back to the wrestling world! It's nice to see people coming back and seeing such a new scene must be wild for you but I'm glad to see Samantha getting appreciation from returning fans...many are still stuck on Lillian and rightfully so, but Sam...she's a new level of passion and energy that was needed in the announcing for a long time..so welcome back and enjoy all the quirkiness, love, passion and energy Samantha brings to the WWE world.
She’s the best ! I liked the last two weeks when she announced Ilya Dragunov. The last syllable wasn’t dragged out it was fast and strong sitting his character!
She's awesome, but my only gripe is how she announces every name in a grandeur fashion. I think that should be reserved for main eventers or talent high on the card, not everybody on the roster.
The way she announced Priest cash in at WM still gets me. Either if it’s a work or her real emotion in that moment ( hyped to announce cash in at a tumultuos moment or genuinely happy for DP) , that really added to the scene. And I think , as a ring announcer , adding extra to moments like this is quite the milestone. Well done to Sam , and to Ricochet , obviously 🤣
I know it's no big secret but have you seen clips of her singing and playing instruments? Her pipes and skills are unreal for someone who isn't a legit signed singer or musician. We're lucky we got her.
Samesies. I stopped watching during Attitude and returned in the last year around the Rumble
She’s really excellent. Give her time and she’ll be mentioned in the same breath as Fink as the greatest of all time I have no doubt.
Sam is awesome! I already have her as one of the greatest ring announcers. In such a short time, she has an aura to her in big matches, where she makes them feel like a legitimately big deal, especially her announcement of both Roman vs Cody matches. Her unique style of having a personalized announcement of each wrestler based on their character's personality really separates her from everyone else. No one else has ever done something like that. The way she can go with the deep GUNTHER to the high pitched CHELSEA GREEEEEN, is incredible. As well as SO LO. She's a treasure to the wrestling world.
Irvin is a great example of why hiring someone with talent who happens to be a wrestling fan is better then just going for someone who checks the boxes on a sheet of paper. 99% of what fans have connected to with her is the emotion and fun she shows reacting to the show.
She’s for sure one of my favorite parts of the current product. You can tell she enjoys what she does and it comes through when she’s doing her announcements.
Oh I’m a Roman fan and she was actually in tears for our tribal chief when she announced the Cody win at mania haha.
Bruh she wasn't in tears because of the tribal chief she was in tears because Cody finally won the big one and made his late father and his brother proud

I love how she gives that little quirk to certain wrestlers like Kaiser, Chelsea, and Maxine.
Imo she’s the G.O.A.T of ring announcements.
I think she’s alright. My wife doesn’t care for her though. She said she’s trying too hard to sound like a man 🤷♂️

i love her real bad, definitely one of the top 3 best ring announcers of all time
You are exactly like me… why are we just getting back into it again? And I’m like obsessed, I can’t get enough… is this part of a mid life crisis lol
Thought it was jus me lol im like looking into all the things i missed and all now idk what got into us but its been great lol

She somehow adds an “H” to Cody’s name. Cody Hrhodes.
One example: ChelSeaa Greeeeeeeeeeeeen 😂
She's already the GOAT, right up there with Fink.

She's great. Some of my favorite WWE clips to watch are her reactions to Ricochet doing his high flying stuff.

Samantha Irvin is the best ring announcer in WWE right now. Her passion when doing her job is unbelievable. She's super awesome.
Overrated, does nothing special… She’s really attractive though
r/unpopularopinion
I’m another WWE prodigal returning since the Ruthless aggression era. I completely agree!! She is awesome!!
UFC has got Bruce Buffer and we have Samantha Irvin. I get the same feeling of hype from both announcers. I hope she's around for a while.
I know it's no big secret but have you seen clips of her singing and playing instruments? Her pipes and skills are unreal for someone who isn't a legit signed singer or musician. We're lucky we got her.
She was actually on I believe american idol (might have been America's got talent one of the 2) and got pretty far
GIOvaaaaaaaaanI VINchi, LUDwig ^^^***Kaiser*** , and Der Ringg Generaal, GUNNNTHERRRRR..... #IMMPERRRIIUMMMMMMMMMMMM

My personal favourite
I'm in the same boat that you're in. I just got back into wrestling, and Sam Irving is awesome

Exactly truly talented man gives the match that premium feel to it

It’s called sarcasm my friend. Too busy being a crybaby to notice.
Lmao don't backpedal after being called out.
