Cabrera started working for WWE in 1993 and has become synonymous with WWE’s Spanish coverage. In addition to WrestleManias, he also provided commentary for WWE Superstars, Monday Night Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, as well as other shows that have since been canceled.
The Spanish Announce team typically records their audio from the headquarters, and so while they don’t travel as much like the on-location guys, they end up recording more and thus have been featured on many an episode of WWE wrestling.
Also when they do happen to. beat a show, the Spanish Announcers’ table typically gets demolished, so Cabrera and his partner frequently had to do play-by-play without a table or a monitor.
Cabrera hasn’t commented on the release yet.
