Tony Schiavone says Tony Khan and others in AEW were very sympathetic to him following the passing of his dog.
Tony Schiavone announced on X (formerly Twitter) that his dog had passed away on March 29.
On the latest episode of his What Happened When podcast, Schiavone reflected on returning to work following the loss and said that Tony Khan sent him flowers as did Ruby Soho and Angelo Parker.
“Of course, I was gonna go to TV. Tony was so sympathetic to me. He has sent me some things here. He sent us flowers. Also had flowers sent from Ruby Soho and Angelo Parker. But…and this is to everybody out there who likes to rip on Tony Khan. He is genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever been around in my life. He really is. You may say, ‘Oh, you’re sucking up to the boss.’ If that’s what you think, go fuck yourself because I’m not. He’s genuinely one of the nicest people in the world. Now, when TV starts, his demeanor can change [laughs] on Wednesdays. But he’s genuinely one of the nicest people I’ve ever been around in my life, he really is. He’s so sympathetic and so nice and so caring and such a good person, and I just wanted to get that out there."
Elsewhere in this podcast, Tony Schiavone expressed a desire to move on from conversations surrounding CM Punk and his time in AEW. Read more here.
Fightful sends its condolences to Tony Schiavone and the whole Schiavone family.
