This must be what Tony and Conrad were referring to on the most recent WHW. Conrad referred to some big news that would be out by the time we heard that episode but nothing came out. I even Googled Tony's name and nothing current popped up.

I'm really curious to see what Tony's role will be in AEW. I actually like Marvez in his hosting role in terms of talking about the Road To (Insert Show Here) angles from the "AEW Control Center," but he's not very good at commentary. Keep Marvez in that role and similar ones, and let Tony takeover his spot in the commentary booth and I think both guys will be better for it.

That'll put butts i-- Whoa, that'll put butts in seats! DAMMIT! Anyway, I like it. I always enjoy listening to Schiavone's WCW work from before he stopped giving a shit and he should be motivated in AEW.

Anyway, when I started watching wrestling regularly, it was WCW Nitro. Tony was the first real commentator I actually paid attention to. Granted, he isn't my favorite of all time or anything (that'd be Jim Ross in his prime), but hearing his voice in the booth again is going to take me down memory lane.

Pre-Nitro Schiavone was great in both NWA/WCW and WWF. Hopefully, he can still tap into that.

This is one of their best signings, Tony and JR is a classic combo.

God, if you’re listening, please give me Excalibur putting over “HE DID THE DEAL!” to the voices of WWF and WCW.

Alex Marvez looking like there is someone off-screen licking a knife and gesturing angrily toward him is so amazing I kind of don't want Schaivone to replace him and take that gift away from me.

Awesome news. I'm glad Tony's second act in wrestling is happening. He seems like a really good dude.

Man, I’ve really missed WCW, this is close enough now. Would be cool if they brought in Michael Buffer too for the odd occasion.

Schiavone ended up being the poster boy for terrible WCW TV because he was the PBP man for some of the worst wrestling shows ever. He was a pretty effective announcer until Bischoff started producing him so much that he ended up being a blathering fool. I dunno if bringing in someone so associated with WCW is a great idea, but we'll see.

I’m against using him on commentary. Pick one or the other, him or JR. Don’t do both, otherwise you start sounding like Legends of Monday Wrestling. Using 1 is fine, 1 is an asset. Both gives the wrong vibe
EDIT: Using him as the Control Centre guy is fine.

Next, they'll hire Joey Styles and make it a Ross/Schiavone/Styles 3-man booth.

I think AEW should find their own " voice" but wcw+ wwe best hits should bring some fans They have Excalibur. He's been the anchor so to speak. Sitting next to JR just makes him seem legit.
