• Tenay gives some advice to those interested in becoming an announcer. It’s difficult because there are so few spots available, and those fortunate enough to do it and do it well, usually last a long time.

• Tenay recently found himself sitting with Kurt Angle, an Olympic gold medalist wrestler, and watching some Olympic amateur wrestling on television -- getting some Angle insight on the sport -- before the TNA Hardcore Justice pay-per-view at Universal Studios Orlando.
