Tony Chimel criticizes WWE for still using his voice despite his firing

Tony Chimel criticizes WWE for still using his voice despite his firing

WWE has employed many names from the industry outside of the wrestling ring, including the legendary Tony Chimel. Despite this, Chimel has now criticized WWE for using his voice despite firing him.

Chimel began his career in WWE as a ring technician before becoming an announcer in 1991 and eventually becoming the voice of Friday Night SmackDown. However, he was released by WWE in 2020, which shocked fans.

The former WWE commentator took to Twitter to say that he finds it strange that despite his firing years ago, WWE still uses his voice in shows to denounce WWE.

Tony Chimel then suggested that WWE should order a Vimeo video from him if they wanted to hear the live version, making it clear that he was not happy with WWE’s approach.

“I find it weird that I was fired from @WWE years ago but they still use my voice on shows. If you want a live version, maybe order a Chimeo.”

Tony Chimel also made it clear that he is not a fan of the WWE Hall of Fame and criticized it as a money-making scheme. Regardless, we will have to see if WWE stops using his voice anytime soon.

Why do you think WWE still uses Tony Chimel’s voice even though he was fired years ago? Let us know in the comments section below!
