Sean Mooney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sean Mooney is a former World Wrestling Federation play-by-play announcer. He was born in Phoenix, Arizona, debuting in 1988 for the WWF but wasn't seen after he hosted the pre-game show for WrestleMania IX. He debuted at the WWF's Wrestling Challenge show on May 15, 1988, and his last time announcing a WWF event was at the 1992 Survivor Series.
His main duties was hosting segments on Superstars and Wrestling Challenge syndicated TV shows which publicized upcoming house shows, of which there were many as eight per week. He introduced the matches, then the wrestlers would comment on them. Mooney also worked as an on-camera host and producer for Major League Baseball Productions in the early 1980s.
Then became an anchorman for WWOR Television (NYC Channel 9), based in Secaucus, New Jersey; he was replaced by Ernie Anastos in 1997, who has since moved on as well.
He reappeared on WWE TV for one time only in October of 2005, during the pre-show to WWE RAW's "Homecoming" to the USA Network. The pre-show simply ran through some past moments of RAW on the USA Network, with several people involved with the WWE during the first years of Monday Night Raw, including Mooney, sharing their memories of the WWE during that period.
Today, Mooney is a sideline reporter and correspondent on FSN Arizona. He also owns a production company called Moonrise Productions.
