www.JJRoberts.comJohn A&E Leppard: How did you make it into the WWE as a Ring Announcer?
JJRoberts: Years of sending video tapes and resume's following years of independent and Toughman Contest announcing.
John A&E Leppard: What`s been your best WWE show that you have worked at so far?
JJRoberts: Non televised-Chicago 12/03 because I was comfortable in the ring and there is no crowd like the Chicago crowd and that helps a lot.
Televised, the last Smackdown I did, because I just came off a tour and didn't have the usual rust I seem to have at tv tapings.
John A&E Leppard: With WrestleMania XX just round the corner, is there a chance you could work the show at all in anyway?
JJRoberts: I wish, but I don't see myself getting the chance to ring announce since the other 3 announcers earned the right to be there, and I haven't been there long enough...and I would love to cover any other spot, but WWE really hasn't used me as an interviewer or anything other than an a ring announcer-so I don't see this happening.
John A&E Leppard: Dose your WWE contract give you freedom to have some small JJRoberts: creative control, like being able to announce in your own way?
JJRoberts:The contract that I had did not tell me how to announce. I think it's trial and error-I announce and if it's good-I don't hear anything, but if it's not-I change whatever needs to be changed.
John A&E Leppard: Most fans belive that RvD shoud have been a World Champion by now, a few weeks ago Kurt Angle told a Radio Station (InTheRing) that if RvD was on Smackdown he would have already been WWE Champion. You can`t keep a fan fav down forever. Do you belive this is down to the Raw creative team or the fact that HHH gets alot more say into WWE matters?
JJRoberts: I have no idea...I am not involved in any creative aspect of the company, I come in-announce-and leave. If I have ideas for the product, I'll drop a note and end it there.
John A&E Leppard: Would you ever like to go into other fields in the WWE, do a character like Johnathan Coachman. I think you would be a decent heel at some point, maybe attack someone after you have just announced them to the ring?
JJRoberts: I'd love to do something like that, but it's because I'm a ham and I love to entertain. As a ring announcer, I'm just pretty much in the background so I don't see myself as a character-ya never know though...
John A&E Leppard: Not many people understand how much you have to travel, is that hard to get used to on the road all the time?
JJRoberts: I have it easy since I am part time, but the guys who are on the road four/five days a week really go through some challenging obstacles to get to their jobs and live their lives. I don't know if that fans realize what they go through to be at live events and television tapings.
John A&E Leppard: Who are you most friends with in the WWE?
JJRoberts: Everybody's cool
John A&E Leppard: I heard something about the Big Show saving your skin abit at a show, what happend there?
JJRoberts: My dressing room door jammed in Chicago and he was my hero. The full story is on WWE.com, or if this becomes outdated-it's also on my site- JJRoberts.com
John A&E Leppard: Thank you so much for this interview
JJRoberts: Thank you for the chance to answer your questions.
