On a recent edition of his “The ARN Show” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Arn Anderson discussed Tony Schiavone’s work in WCW, his longevity in the wrestling industry, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Tony Schiavone: “Tony reported the news. He wasn’t was trying to get himself over. You could pull any match with him, partnering with any of those guys you just mentioned, and you’ll never one time see him trying to put himself over and take over the story that you’re trying to tell. He just reported the news. That’s what to this day makes him so great. He talks about issues and what’s going on. Not, you know, who he is, how great he is or any of that stuff.”
On Schiavone not getting the respect he deserves for being a great announcer: “Yeah, yeah, that’s that for sure. I mean he’s just — it’s his calling. It’s what he was put on the earth to do. And you know what makes it fly? He’s a tremendous wrestling fan. You look at managers who are great managers, they’re great wrestling fans. Wrestlers that are great wrestlers, they’re usually big-time wrestling fans. Same thing with Tony and the announcer.”
