Speaking on his What Happened When podcast, Tony Schiavone discussed working do AEW and praised Renee Paquette.
“I’ve been fortunate to be able to work with such fantastic people. That’s the key to it all. Just getting to know and work with Excalibur and Nigel McGuiness. God, do I have fun with Nigel. Taz, we watch old ECW shows here, and I remember you and I talk about Taz, and I was saying, ‘That’s one bad motherfucker right there.’ He is a bad motherfucker. It’s all part of his charm. I got to work with Bryan Danielson. Holy shit. Jon Moxley, Claudio [Castagnoli]. Got to see kids begin their career and do well, like MJF. Harley Cameron, get to see her career begin. Get to be a part of their careers beginning, talking about them on TV, trying to help put them over, and trying to say good things about them. Just all good stuff. Being able to work with Renee Paquette. If she’s not the best that’s ever held the mic, I mean, she’s in Gene Okerlund territory, she really is. I’ve been very fortunate," Schiavone said.
