Bryce Remsburg speaks highly of Tony Schiavone.
Broadcaster Tony Schiavone's wrestling career dates back to the 1980s, and he has worked for WWF, WCW, Jim Crockett Promotions, and MLW. He was the voice of WCW for a number of years until WWF acquired the company. Schiavone's remarkable career has continued in AEW, and he has been with the company since 2019. In 2022, in additional to his work on-screen, Schiavone received a new role as Senior Producer and Special Advisor and Talent Relations.
Speaking on What Happened When, Tony Schiavone joked that he had a job because Tony Khan likes old-timers. AEW referee Bryce Remsburg, a guest on the podcast, responded by praising Schiavone and his work ethic.
"You’ve earned your keep. Tony’s one of the hardest-working guys in AEW. Collision started, there’s kind of this division, everybody’s kind of gonna go where…Tony, maybe reluctantly, but still, raised his hand, and is one of the few guys that travels to every single show twice a week. Ring of Honor pay-per-views, Dynamite, Rampage, Collision. I say Tony Schiavone and Chris, our other wardrobe guy, are the hardest-working men in All Elite Wrestling. You see Tony on camera, you see Chris behind camera. But it’s every town, every city, 66 years old, doesn’t look a day over 76, but he’s working really hard, he’s there every week, every show, making towns. A professional, a pro’s pro....I’ve been at AEW since day one, it’s been almost five years, I’ve seen a few guys come and go, but there are few that work as hard and prepare and take their job as seriously as Tony Schiavone," Remsburg said.
During the podcast, Schiavone also discussed making his ROH debut at ROH Final Battle. Check out his comments here.
