Speaking on What Happened When, Schiavone recalled how he spent some time with Hero the weekend of AEW All In. He stated that he loves talking to Hero about wrestling, and he praised him as a coach. Schiavone called Hero a great hire by Tony Khan.

“Afterwards, me and Chris Hero hung out for a couple of hours, just sitting down and having some coffee and talking about wrestling for two hours. I just love talking to him about it. Talking to him about not only the history, about what works as far as a wrestling ring, what works in the ring, what doesn’t work, what he has seen. So yeah, I’ve developed a very good relationship with Chris. Not only that, I’ve said it to him, that he’s a hell of coach. He knows his wrestling, and he’s a very positive, good guy. Great hire by Tony Khan," Schiavone said.
