    Almost every RBR these days has people asking this question. Well here it is from the man himself.

    TL;DW: he does it because historically announcers used to do this so he does it for tradition.

    Big Kugan definitely should have pressed and asked some more invasive questions like that and also whether or not the rumours are true: did he really get caught piping Michelle Phelps backstage the night of Groves-Eubank in Manchester?

    Cue the silence when he says “it’s time to to nix a nil”doesn’t have the same ring as someone O has got to go lol.

    Sorry but you really have to be more sensitive to other peoples cultures. Diamante is a Psychlo and they all have those dreads:
