Paul Heyman Praises Corey Graves, Compares Him To UFC Commentator

In an interview with Sam Roberts, Paul Heyman praised Corey Graves for his announcing work on NXT.

He said: “Corey gets the whole roster over and that’s the key. The job that he’s doing is so phenomenal that sooner than later, we’re going to say that Joe Rogan is the Corey Graves of UFC.”

Meanwhile, he also compared ECW to NXT. He said that ECW was all about showing wrestling styles that were “new and progressive and tomorrow, which is what NXT is about”. He said there were too many of similar style wrestlers and he wanted to do something different.
