Tony, I feel, got a bit of an unfair bad rep as a WCW announcer. I know it's easy (and funny) to dunk on him for the "greatest night in the history of our sport" stuff, but his commentary was pretty good and he was at least enthusiastic and engaged the in-ring action as good as he could. Tony was a fine announcer. He gave up at the end of WCW, but who wouldn't? He "Schiavone'd" it!

JR, Tony, and Excalibur is a damn fine team for Wednesday night commentary.
Marvez I can see being in a sort of Borash or Mean Gene role.

PWInsider is reporting that Tony will be doing both MLW and AEW. Court Bauer was probably upset that he didn't know about the Control Center appearance ahead of time, but it looks like things are smoothed over. Also why MJF can work both - Court will use the guys on TNT to attract eyeballs to his show on BeIn as he builds up new talent for his company. www.pwinsider.com/article/128886/tony-schiavone-heading-to-aew.html?p=1Cool of AEW to allow this. Unless Tony and MJF have some kind of contract stops with MLW that prevent them from leaving I don’t see how this could benefit AEW much. It is great for Tony and MJF though and gives AEW the image of being flexible so good for them. It's better for the business as a whole, which seems to be a big part of their M.O.

Right, which I suspect played a part in them not running any shows 'Mania weekend. That is one of the biggest times of the year for indies, and that kept them from eating their lunch.

I dunno if this has been posted, but Meltzer said that the press release is incorrect and Tony isn’t doing commentary. The Wednesday night commentary team is Goldenboy, Excalibur, and JR. Tony will be doing production and helping out backstage.
