Arda Ocal (@arda_ocal) of The Score Television Network and the Baltimore Sun spoke with Tony Schiavone (@tonyschiavone24). Highlights:
- His thoughts on the infamous moment where he spoiled Mankind’s championship victory on Nitro and fans switched to watch it on Raw. “I would have turned the channel.” Also, he talked about the moral battle he had with spoiling the competitors results on live TV.
- The recent run-in he had with CM Punk at his radio station.
- His career highlight calling his first match at Madison Square Garden with Lord Alfred Hayes.
- Why he decided to move on from Pro Wrestling after the sale of WCW. “Now’s the chance to get out of it. Why don’t I take it.”
Now For Some Classic Schiavone Moments, just for fun. The first one comes from a worked shoot done during one of his few appearances in TNA:
Epicness from the night after Souled Out 1999...
-Paul Heyman recently spoke to Fighting Spirit Magazine and talked about having an “absolute blast” with his current WWE run and the the differences between managing Brock Lesnar and CM Punk stating. Here’s what Heyman said about:
His Current WWE Run: “I’m having an absolute blast, it’s the best of all circumstances. … Because I’m working with people I absolutely adore working with. I originally came back to work with Brock Lesnar and I couldn’t think of a better scenario to come back to WWE (than) with Brock. Then, after Summerslam when Brock went away, I was going away, too, and then came the opportunity to work with C.M. Punk.”
The Differences Between Lesnar & Punk:“With Brock, I did all the talking and I advocated the position and then he backed it up in the ring. With Punk, it would not make any sense for me to do all the talking. I should do very little talking. ‘Ladies and gentleman, my name is Paul Heyman and I’m here to represent the WWE champion C.M. Punk,’ and then boom. That’s all I should really every say. So, it’s a Meyer Lansky-type of position more so than the guy that [is] up front completely delivering the message for — by way of example — Brock Lesnar.”
-And finally, I bring to you.... a press release.
