What is the deal with those times Tony Schavnue walked off the Nitro at the beginning of the broadcast? What was the point, were they trying to try out Teenay as a play by play guy. And it made him look weak as a journalist, if they were trying to sell the saverty of the situation that the stress got to him, but when Kennedy was assignated Croncite didn't walk off the news room, he stood there like a man. What ever they were trying to do, it backed fired, I remember one of those times the next monday Jim Ross made fun of room.
And he did gain the reputation of running away when the going got tuff, the Nitro after the infomous NWO Nitro, there was a three way argrument with Schavanue, Tennay, and Heenan, and Tennay called him out on deserting the ship.
I wonder if that was just for storyline purposes, or was that a way to punish when he does a bad broadcast. If so, maybe they ought to do the same with Cole once in a while.

I honestly don't remember this. Bobby was the one who used to leave the booth, especially if he was getting paranoid about an nWo takeover.

I remember him walking off the Nitro set after Fall Brawl 97 with Henning turning on the Horsemen.

I honestly don't remember this. Bobby was the one who used to leave the booth, especially if he was getting paranoid about an nWo takeover. There were times when they both left, and other times where they all left and the nWo took over the announcing booth for a match or two. And it was done to push the idea of the nWo as an invading organisation, one that was legitimately threatening to takeover WCW, the rogue unit, etc. It was also to push the idea of WCW's desperation and 'need for a leader' in the Sting build. Schiavone's character was one of a stalwart WCW supporter who could barely stand watch the company he loved crumble in the face of this invading force. It pushed the internal war between WCW and nWo and was, in theory, building to Sting's heroic return to unite WCW and banish the nWo. That didn't quite happen, but that was the story. |

I remember him walking off the Nitro set after Fall Brawl 97 with Henning turning on the Horsemen. Yeah I am talking about those incidents, when he voltuneer walked off because he couldn't take it anymore. One time after a confronation with Nash and Hall, he walked off, and than the night after Fall Brawl 1997. I remember the next week on Raw, JR did make fun of him after Austin stunned McMahon for the first time in the post commerical break recap JR said "We are not going to walk off on the job" than does a mock cry. |

Well the one with Hall and Nash, was to hammer home the point that these guys were so dangerous, even the announcers were worried for their own safety.
The one after Fall Brawl was to sell the fact that Tony idolized Ric Flair and was really affected by what happened the night before.

This is by far my favorite spelling of his name. We gonna rock down to Tony Schavanue. And then we take it higher.  |

I always liked listening to Tony Schavanue lose his shit over Rice Flair and Stink.

Who are these people you speak of? I do not recognize their names, except for Heenan. |
