Not as much lately, but for years, WWE would go through announcers like a hot knife through butter. With how much they value a “TV look,” they’ve tried out a lot of announcers that, for whatever reason, didn’t work out in the long term.

Generally speaking though, once sporting heroes retire, they find common ground, make up and reminisce about the old days. Ok, it doesn't happen every time. Angelo Mosca is 73 years old. He's a former athlete, playing in the Canadian Football League (Cfl) between 1958 and 1972. Joe Kapp - also aged 73 - is a former football star too, playing both in Canada and in the NFL in the United States. The two were on opposite sides during a controversial Grey Cup match in November 1963, and their rivalry is thought to have begun when Mosca knocked out one of Kapp's teammates.
