Iirc he started giving less and less shits around 1994/95 when Hulkamania and friends was in full force. He got gradually worse until it was obvious he couldn't care less about the product in 1999 I still love how excited he was for the Yeti at the end of Halloween Havoc 95. Here you have this completely stupid moment and gimmick, but Tony is just so excited. It brings a smile to my face. "AND THE YET-TAAYYYY!" Words can't express how much I love that call...my favorite in wrestling history. It captures both Tony's unbridled enthusiasm and the general absurdity of professional wrestling in just three words. Glad to see Tony get some love here. When he was on, he was the best pbp man in wrestling.

I've been watching shows from 2000 recently and the commentary is just hopeless. Schiavone just doesn't give a shit anymore, then again, he is working with Mark Madden, which explains a lot. That can be said for virtually everyone on the roster. Hell, from the wrestlers' perspective, they probably stopped giving a shit once they knew Mark Madden was commentating their matches.

The question I have, when did he leave the WWF and return to the NWA? I remember during the build up to Halloween Havoe 1998 he claimed to have been at Wrestlemania VI, but I never saw him in the broadcast.
