Stop twisting my words. I never said he was fired. He lost his job and as a result you said the situation was really good. No twisting on my part. It's really good that we can get a new, fresh voice ring announcing Raws and PPVs. It's really good that Justin Roberts got to live his dream for over 10 years Its really good that left because his contract ended and didnt get renewed and wasn't fired on bad terms. That's what's really good. Not that he "lost his job" or whatever "situation" your talking about. From all reports I've seen, his contract ended at midnight. And the parties didn't agree to renewal. What's the situation man? Every time someone leaves the company it's not because they got the shaft. "WWE has chosen to not exercise its option to renew ring announcer Justin Roberts' contract. Effective immediately, Roberts is released from WWE." There was no negotiations going on here. WWE made the decision to not offer him a new contract, essentially saying they do not want him anymore. ^

Justin Roberts was great at what he did.. This is a shame, his voice was becoming synonymous with the WWE.

God, this sucks. I can't stand Jojos voice so I really hope I don't have to listen to that every week.

I'm sorry he lost his job but his voice was so annoying. I hope they use Chimel for Raw.

Sucks that he's gone. I always enjoy seeing a passionate fan getting to live out a dream. As some have stated, he's had a long career and got to really enjoy it. Still does suck though.

I never had a problem with his announcing. I like him better than Garcia. Strange that he was let go.

It sucks that Justin Roberts's contract expired, I really liked the guy too. The one thing that bothers me about this whole thing is, why didn't WWE choose to renew his contract? Whatever the reason is, I wish him luck in whatever he chooses to do next.

Uh yeah, not renewing talent is WWE's new way of firing people. They feel it sends a softer message to investors. It's the 2014 WWE equiveleant of being terminated for cost cutting measures. People don't like to use the word "fired" at all but that's exactly what happened here. Just because WWE has decided on a more passive aggressive approach to getting rid of people doesn't mean it doesn't have the exact same end result. I'm sure Roberts feels like he was fired today. Roberts had to leave his job on WWE's terms, not his own. That's being fired, even if that exact verbiage wasn't used.

Several people on reddit who were at the show said they saw Roberts and Cole verbally going at it during the Orton/Ziggler match and at one point Roberts was making gestures at Cole

I used to hate his style, but he's grown on me. Sucks for the guy.
