Fat Joe had one of those moments to treasure forever while watching Jelly Roll and Logan Paul at WWE SummerSlam, and it was an animated recounting of Joe that brought laughter to the masses. The rapper-storyteller gave a complete play-by-play commentary of the match, with sound effects and dramatic pauses that only Joe could have delivered.

The video sees Fat Joe narrating how SummerSlam was really its own train ride riot he had booked to support his buddy Jelly Roll, who had been in training for months for the big showdown. Joe recounts how Logan Paul came flying off the top rope in an egregious manner, landing hard on top of Jelly Roll, and immediately a thought rushed through his mind. “My dear friend must have gotten really hurt.” “I’m a fat guy, so I know every bone,” Joe joked, referring to his own experience of being heavy and going through physical strain. The crowd erupted in laughter, with it almost seeming that Jelly Roll was down for the count; then he bounced back, fighting in true WWE style.
The comment section exploded with reactions to Joe’s storytelling. One called him the greatest storyteller ever, and another cheekily called him the Forrest Gump of hip hop. Many pointed out how Joe’s dramatised sound effects and facial expressions made it all the funnier. “That ‘aiiiiiii’ sound took me out,” commented one.
Some said it was difficult to take seriously. “WTF he act like that ain’t fake,” one said, while another jokingly wondered if fact-checkers were really going to look into Joe’s claim of a “million people in the arena.”
Besides all these jokes, there was a general agreement that Joe himself was pretty infectious. Fans insisted that he join the wrestling commentary circuit full-time. “We need Joe doing some commentary,” one commented, while another stated, “You can’t top this one.”
The video was a blast for maddening wrestling fans as one person commented that Joe happened to be seated next to the legendary Iron Sheik during the match. Others called the buy-out between Joe and Jelly Roll a textbook example of big brothers looking out for one another.

Regardless, Joe’s recap is pure entertainment. Neither wrestling nor not wrestling is at issue here. To distill that whole simple match into a completely dramatic bumptious laugh is the proof that such a nutcase is one of the best in the game. So, if WWE ever needs a new commentator, they won’t have to scratch their heads for long.
