Wrestling There is a moment during the Rey Misterio Jr. versus Eddie Guerrero match on the Halloween Havoc '97 telecast that I'll never forget. As Tony Schiavone was furiously calling the action, Mike Tenay was informing the viewing audience of some little known facts about Misterio and Guerrero's career. I can remember being totally astounded by the manner in which Tenay delivered these obscure facts. He had clearly done his homework and by imparting these facts on the respective careers of the wrestlers in the ring, he made the match seem that more important.
Professionalism is a trait that all too few in wrestling possess.
It's a trait that Tenay has an ample amount of. But it's just one of many. These are just some of characteristics used to describe Mike Tenay's on-air personality. Never having the opportunity to speak with him before, I was anxious to see whether he's that way in real life. Wrestling is in the business of hype.
