Tony Schiavone praises Big Bill.
Big Bill has been involved in a number of important matches and storylines since coming into AEW in 2022. Bill has also competed in Ring Of Honor on a number of occasions, where he has been teaming with Lee Moriarty. Bill recently teamed up with Brian Cage in the Blind Eliminator Tag Team Tournament, and the duo lost to AEW World Champion MJF and Adam Cole on the July 12 episode of AEW Dynamite.
On a recent episode of What Happened When, Schiavone recalled seeing Bill on WWE television in 2017 and talked about how his opinion of him has changed since then. He also spoke highly of Bill's tag team match with Cage on the July 7 episode of AEW Rampage, where they faced Trent Beretta and Matt Sydal.
“Speaking of big guys, I need to say this again, it needs to be said because I really feel very strongly about this. When I first started watching wrestling again in 2017, thanks to you, the first person I saw was Big Cass walk out, and I said to you, ‘Who the fuck is this, and why the fuck is he on my TV screen?’ That’s because I was getting back into it. But now, Big Bill is one of my favorites because not only does he look great, for a big guy, he looks tremendous. He is truly one of the great guys. I thought he and Brian Cage on Rampage just a week ago looked sensational. I thought they had a great match. I even told him so. I told him, I said, ‘Bill, you and Cage against Trent Beretta and Matt Sydal was a great match for Rampage, and it was.’ So props to Big Bill. Good guy, and a New York Yankees fan. I have a lot of time for him."
