What did you guys think of him in WCW and would you ever want to see him announcing again in WWE?

I liked him. Cole doesn't put enough passion into commentating, JR doesn't put enough sense into it.

Tony did both.

all kidding aside, I was a fan of his. I love over dramatic announcers for some reason. I am also a fan of JR. Like when I watch old Memphis shows, World Class, AWA, etc... I can't stand some of those announcers. Guys like Lance Russell are a good interview when he's interviewing people, but fuck, I'd have Tony calling my match any day.

I'm a fan of his. In all honestly, I thought his best work was while the company was falling apart and there were quadruple swerves every 30 seconds. Some of the shit he came out with was pure gold

I always have heard that back in 2003 when J.R was off the RAW broadcasts that when Bischoff mentioned he had Schiavone is speed dial that he would come in and be the heel annoucer but WWE Producer Kevin Dunn was not a fan of Schavoines and decided to turn Coach heel instead.

yea, one of the five TNA shows I ordered that year had the Tony heel turn. I thought he cut a great promo to be honest. The whole SEX vs Tradition angle was the best angle TNA has ever done in thier entire history. And I'll go as far to say it was one of the best well put together storylines in the past 10 years.

I need to really post the 7-10 minute package they put together bascially highlighting the angle up to a certain point. You'll see how much better the company was

I too liked Schiavone's commentary. Get him to WWE and put him on SmackDown

MaverickNJ does not have that much rep yet (10+)
He wasn't bad, but I heard he hated wrestling. Didn't Heenan trash him after the demise of WCW?

Heenan and Mike Tenay trashed the shit out of Shiavone. Said he didn't know what he was talking about half the time, not as well educated on the wrestling business or the history of the wrestling business as either of them, and was often an air-time hog, cutting off his broadcast partners mid-sentence with one of his bland, uninteresting statements.

The man has a good broadcast voice, that's not arguable.

WOW. I've never seen that with Schiavone because I don't watch TNA that often. That was AWESOME! Can someone fill me in on that whole angle or let me know where I can read about it?

Heenan trashed him every week at least once every segment of WCW programming.

Actually, I think his pair up with Scott Hudson actually brought out the best in Tony.

As I've been watching the old Nitros on WWE 24/7, I wondered why I hated the guy. He always kept things interesting, he knew what he was talking about, he talked as though he gave a shit about the industry, and you ALWAYS had this feeling of something was going to happen on this very show at any time feeling with him at PBP. I had read that he didn't like what Vince Russo was doing to WCW when they were going downhill. But he seemed to really do well around Hudson (why they hired Madden, though, is beyond me).

To me, if they would replace JR with Tony, I'd be happy.

I agree with pretty much everything that has been said.

Is he as good as JR circa 1998, no. But, he is certainly better than the Coach/Cole tandum and IMO would do a better job than styles (simply because styles cant be himself in WWECW).

once I get internet back at my apartment, I can post a video that kind of recaps the basis of the angle.

Basically, Russo led a group that defied the TNA/NWA (remember TNA was still part of the NWA back then) Tradition and preached more of a Sports Entertainment. Wrestlers would turn thier back on the company and joined Russo in attempt to take control of TNA. Raven, AJ Styles, BG James, Sonny Siaki and more. It was very nWo-esque with a different spin on things. Jeff Jarrett was the main babyface through all of this.

The matches weren't that great here, but the promos and storylines were a lot better then today's TNA.

I thought it worked well for a while until it eventually burnt out.

It should have ended with Raven beating Jarrett
