nhs67 1,988 Report post Posted January 16 Man I wish I remembered which one. It was some guy out west, who was also from Wisconsin? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't like his commentary previously, but he has significantly improved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparks does other announcing or reporting for other sports besides wrestling I'm pretty certain I've heard him say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonBryant 2,066 Report post Posted January 16 Sparks works full-time for FloSports (was with SportsEngine/Trackwrestling before the buyout). Pretty much assured anyone wrestling specific on television is a freelancer/contractor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
