During a recent edition of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone lavished praise on former AEW World Champion Samoa Joe by calling him one of the greatest professionals he’s ever worked with.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Samoa Joe: “Samoa Joe to me is one of the great professionals I’ve ever worked with. Joe is just…you ask Joe to go to an interview, you say, ‘Joe, we got a pretape to do,’ he says okay, and he goes right then…some guys will go and they’ll fuck off, and it’s hard to find them. Not Joe. Got a lot of time for Joe, professional.”
On what Joe brings to the table: “On maybe two hands full, and he’s one of the tops. Not only that, he gives you great matches. For a guy his size, he can move, he can do a lot of things, he’s legit strong, legit tough guy. Lot of time for him.”
During a recent appearance on the “Battleground” podcast, AEW wrestler and TBS Champion Mercedes Mone commented on her presence in AEW and how money has “gone up” since her arrival.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her presence in AEW: “There’s always an opportunity to make Money, and ever since I came to AEW, money has just gone up. I know there is a list of women who are just dying to even be around my presence. I’m in my locker room right now, and I have a security guard out there, and there is a line.”
On the women waiting in line to talk to her: “I have to be like, ‘Excuse me, wait, I have to talk to you guys first.’ Yes, there’s always an opportunity to make money. But I’m very busy, so just wait. I gotta watch you do some stuff first. I gotta see you, I gotta see what you got.”
