Tony Chimel reveals the joke by Vince McMahon
Appearing on Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw, Chimel discussed the long-running joke that Vince played on him.
“Yeah, he always used to say that to me, ‘Chimel, you still work here?’ One time he says, ‘Chimel, you still work here?’ I said, ‘Well, not really, Vince, but you’re still paying me.’ And he’s like, ‘Oh… I’m gonna have to look into that.’ I said, ‘No, no! Easy, Vince, that’s okay,’” he said.
Chimel was released from WWE in 2020 after more than three decades with the company. He worked in various roles during that time, but is best known for his eight years as the SmackDown ring announcer between 1999 and 2007. Chimel was also popular for introducing Edge as “The Rated-R Superstar” during ring announcements. The former WWE announcer allowed his voice to crack while saying the word “superstar,” which made the announcements unique.
