@jnicholson79jn

@@aldairrocha3374 Doing babyface play-by-play and cutting a live in-ring heel promo are 2 different worlds. During play-by-play, they have papers in front of them with rundowns, historical notes, bullet points, etc. Not to mention someone talking to them through their earpiece telling them when & how to make certain points. It's equally challenging, but in a totally different way. Generally, whenever babyface announcers have made a heel turn and tried to cut heel promos, it has been a disaster. They sound overly scripted, the crowd doesnt buy their new attitude, and the whole angle flops before it ever has a prayer of getting over. Seeing Schiavone like this makes me wonder why he was never used in this capacity before. The guy started doing interviews for Crockett in '83, commentary in '85. Aside from the year he spent in the WWF, he worked consistently for the same promotion through all of its evolutions (JCP/NWA/WCW) for almost 20 years. Seems like his true talent was severely overlooked by everybody.

I don't recall (to steal a quote from Eric Bishoff) ever hearing/seeing Tony cut a promo, he was the play by play guy, not a character. Is this 10 min clip is any indication then I would have to say that Tony not ever having an on-air character was one more mistake to add to the thousands of missed opportunities & mistakes that lead to the downfall of WCW.

If Tony Schiavone was on commentary in TNA, the ratings would increase. He was the man in WCW. I grew up with him; he is awesome.

Two commentators arguing in the middle of the ring about Vince Russo. Seems about right.

One of the truest voices in wrestling!! Tony has the pipes for it...Tenay doesn't!!

When I saw this on Spike TV, I was stunned. I never imagined that there would be this much animosity between Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay. I now realize that this was a work, as TNA was trying to sign him on to the promotion. Tony Schiavone simply did not have the desire to do work in professional wrestling at that time. It would have been rough for him to do so, as he was an employee for 750 WSB Atlanta, Georgia, and the TNA TV tapings at that time took place in Nashville, Tennessee (they would later move their TV tapings to Orlando, Florida). It was simply too far for him to travel there on a weekly basis. The only reason that Tony Schiavone is working in the pro wrestling industry today, is because his contract was not renewed at 750 WSB.

As a former Nitro watcher (along with Raw.. yes I watched both).. I kind of miss Tony Schiavone. Would be epic to see him on one of Raws Old School shows if it did a Nitro special.

TONY SCHIAVONE IS A LEGENDARY WRESTLING COMMENTATOR !

The greatest one time heel turn in history. Period. But also one of the best heel promos ever delivered. So fucking good.
