Samantha Irvin, current WWE Ring Announcer, spoke with Sam Roberts on the notsam wrestling podcast. She paid respects to the GOAT (Greatest of all Time) legendary WWE ring announcers Howard Finkel and Lilian Garcia and was clear she sees herself i the role but not in the legendary status of announcing.

You're entitled to your opinion, but as a 43-year-old no one can match the Fink. His passion and enthusiasm for the matches always would give me goosebumps. Samantha is good and has passed Lillian, but she's nowhere near the Fink. He is literally the voice of the WWF. I don't think anyone will be able to pass him

I will NEVER understand this lame ongoing debate. Why do people have to make it into some stupid contest? Why does one have to be better than the other? You never see people bashing Corey Graves or other commentators saying "Oh, JR or Monsoon were way better". When Justin Roberts became ring announcer, you didn't see people bashing him saying that Howard Finkel or Tony Chimel were better. So why are people always giving Samantha grief for it??

Yeah the only thing I hear now is “Irvin’s better” just cause she does voices for a few of the stars. But can y’all stop doing that? She’s just doing great because she’s doing her own thing like they were. I hate when someone new who does decent work comes in and it’s like fans completely forget the previous predecessors, and all the good times they’ve given to the crowd. Not just in wrestling but in general. Fans are so fickle when it comes to what’s new.

Samantha Irvin is RIDICULOUSLY amazing as a ring announcer. Idk why people are throwing negative energy at her bc just the fact alone that we are debating on wether or not she's the goat, means she's at least one of the greats and in such a short time,might I add. Last thing I'll say is having Her as the ring announcer is "one of the many spokes on the wheel" of WWE being cool again.

Im sorry, when has a Ring Announcer in WWE ever actually had this much attention? Say what you want about Samantha but we’ve never had a ring announcer that is also a persona on this level. The closest was Lilian Garcia. Samantha huge leg up is from social media which Lillian & Howard don’t have. But I don’t remember Howard or any of the male ring announcers being anything more than a ring announcer
