If Tony Schiavone Inducted Foley

[YiHammer]

What would be the result?

Maybe something relating to butts or ratings perhaps

THIS!!!!

Tony at the end of his speech looks at him in disgust and says "And Mick Foley you can go to hell the Hall of Fame. Straight to the Hall of Fame. We're out of here."

He is going to consume Dixie Carter's husband's soul at the HOF?

Mick can start his speech by saying "hey Tony! I sold this bitch out and I'm not even wrestling! How's that for 'putting butts in seats?'"

Guys, Mick Foley doesn't hold this against Tony, who was just doing as he was produced by his boss. This may not be a popular opinion with the IWC, but I think Tony Schiavone himself deserves to be inducted for his years as interviewer in Jim Crockett promotions and for his commentary for WCW and WWF. He may not have been the most popular man within the industry, but in his prime he was one of the best play-by-play announcers. True he seemed to lose interest toward the end of WCW. If there was ever a time in wrestling where you could forgive an announcer for losing interest (and 'phoning it in') it would be during the dying years of WCW.

I know the other big criticism of Tony people joke about is overhyping events or overusing lines like "this is the greatest night in the history of our sport!" There is truth in this, but in truth Tony was one of the very best at getting over the importance of certain events. Jim Ross is the best at it, but Tony is better than most.

As a side note, I still listen to Schiavone on the local radio covering sports and more specifially the Georgia Bulldogs and the Gwinnett Braves (Braves's AAA team). He puts a lot into this and he does a very good job.

I agree with you, actually. I was just messing around with that joke. Tony was a terrific play by play commentator.

Done in one.

[ASYLUMHAUSEN]

I saw let Bischoff induct him...unless he'd encourage people to change the channel....

Honestly though it should be Taker who inducts him. But you know they'll use it as an ANOTHER excuse to roll out The Rock and let him do his boring, dated, pointless schtick to pop a rating.
