tony schiavone....

[NormanSmiley]

anyone else not like this guy?

i could never stand him on the mic.

[mike adamle]

Yeah he could never match Don West on the mic.

[Xero]

He was the greatest announcer in the history of our sport!

[Black Widow]

from what little i remember he wasn't that bad.

[RiX1024]

He was alright, nothing special.

[James Steele]

I enjoyed his work, honestly. He wasn't a great PBP guy though. I think he'd be good on color.

[CSL]

I am a fan of Skeeavone

[Rammsteinmad]

I liked him, but then I was a kiddie mark during his main days behind the desk, so I really had no reason to hate him.

[The Condor]

He's alright, nothing against him.

[Classy and Gassy]

I liked him, theres alot worse out there. I enjoyed his chemistry with Ventura

dont recall this, but love it. heenan is gold

[Logan]

he was ok as an announcer.

sadly the only time i didnt care to see him was back in early wcw when he was a back/side stage interviewer and had the goatee or mustache look.

he occasionally had some good dialogue with heenan, and some solo 1 liners.

heres my fav tony schiavone wrestling related thing (i know its been shown in a previous thread, but meh).

Are you kidding me? He was the greatest commentator in the history of our sport!

"Tell 'em, Steve-Dave!"

You seriously had to make this thread just so I could post this pic.

He put butts in seats! He called EVERYTHING a "sidewalk slam"! And don't forget how he would break the fourth wall by telling us when something was a shoot by exclaiming "... this is real life here, folks!" And's lets not forget that amazing dynamic he had with Stevie Ray in the booth...

He was never the best guy, but he was essentially the voice of WCW for many years. That has to count for something.

[Droford]

He should induct Foley into the hall of fame

You are my favourite. I was just about to post "Does anybody else like to pronounce it Skeeavone?" We are such losers. Big fags. :love:

[Bad News Gertner]

I never understood the hate for him. I thought he was very good.

[Johnny Vegas]

Agreed with last post. I think he's getting the X-Pac treatment of TPWW

[Bad News Gertner]

Honestly, he's miles better than anybody on commentary right now. JBL does Colour Commentary so he's not in the running.
