Tony Schiavone has added a new honor to his remarkable career.
In recent weeks, AEW's Big Bill has been sporting a new look. He has been wearing trunks that have a quote on the back; it reads, "Too much man," which is a phrase that legendary commentator Tony Schiavone said when describing the giant.
Speaking on his What Happened When Podcast, Tony Schiavone responded when Conrad Thompson brought up how Big Bill was the first person that Tony saw after years of not watching wrestling, and now the broadcaster's name was on Bill's trunks.
"Isn’t that amazing? Isn’t it amazing that he was the first person that I would see at 18 years of not watching wrestling, and then eight years later, almost, I would be on his fucking trunks? That’s kind of ironic. Not kind of, very ironic. Number two, Big Bill is one of the great human beings in wrestling and has one of the great stories in wrestling because of him coming back from alcohol, and he’s one of the great guys ever. I’m so proud, I really am, to be on his trunks. I really am. He’s such a great guy, and he’s such a good person. Not only that, hell, he’s such a freaking talent. He’s so big. I’m really honored I’m on Big Bill’s ass," Schiavone said.
Schiavone went on to note that he was enjoying Bill and the Learning Tree act as a whole.
