Wrexham duo sends TV commentary warning: 'No idea how this will go'

"As with our decision to take over Wrexham five years ago, we genuinely have no idea how this is going to go, but we will give it our best. Neither of us have called a sporting event of any variety, let alone a sport we basically learned the rules of five years ago."

"Wrexham, who have become the subject of a fly-on-the-wall documentary -- "Welcome to Wrexham" -- that has given the team and city global notoriety, have achieved three straight promotions and are one more away from playing in the Premier League."

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Hollywood celebrities who acquired Wrexham for $2.5 million in February 2021, will commentate the club's home Championship match against Swansea on Sky Sports. This marks five years since their transformative takeover when Wrexham was in the non-league fifth tier. The pair acknowledged their inexperience with sports commentary and the sport itself, stating they will do their best despite having no prior broadcasting experience. Wrexham has achieved three consecutive promotions and currently sits in sixth place, the final playoff spot, with ten games remaining in their pursuit of Premier League football. The club gained global recognition through the documentary series "Welcome to Wrexham."
