Tom Hannifan recently appeared as a guest on the "Putting You Over" podcast for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the discussion, the IMPACT Wrestling commentator spoke at length about his on-air chemistry with fellow IMPACT On AXS TV commentator Matt Rehwoldt.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the interview where he touches on this topic with his thoughts.
On how working with Matt Rehwoldt at the commentary table is super fun and easy: "It’s a breeze [working with Matt Rehwoldt], he’s the best. We obviously worked a little bit together in WWE on 205 Live if you remember that old chestnut and also NXT UK. He’s so good at what he does. I do not think pro wrestling fans really comprehend how good he is and it’s really cool because he’s doing his thing right now on New Japan STRONG and to see him shift gears because I think New Japan and IMPACT are inherently different products."
On how Rehwoldt adapts to the environment, citing his work with NJPW as an example: "So for him to go New Japan and call sport and to still have the ‘Drama King’ persona, all those good things. But then to turn it over to IMPACT, we’re dialing up the entertainment more than New Japan Pro-Wrestling will in that respect. Not the in-ring aspect obviously but, it’s really spectacular and it’s effortless working with him. He’s got so much experience, he’s worked with a who’s who, he’s been on the grandest stage of them all, he understands these moments, he understands these characters so, I love working with him."
