10 Iconic Wrestling Personalities Even The Haters Love
2. Tony Schiavone
When it comes to thinking about the greatest wrestling commentators of all time, many names will come up. People like Jim Ross, Bobby Heenan, and Gorilla Monsoon could take the title. However, you will often hear of the WCW legend and current AEW star Tony Schiavone alongside these names, as he is a sublime sports personality, with the utmost charisma and a fantastic connection to the audience.
"It's Stiiiiiing!" The Icon Sting's return was a significant moment within the wrestling industry. The fact that Schiavone's genuine and passionate reaction has become infamous alongside it is a testament to this man's work. As a play-by-play commentator, he brings an unrivalled passion to his job, which is topped off by an endless amount of knowledge for the sport of wrestling.
Schiavone also has had a great showing thanks to his podcast - What Happened When? - where he and Conrad Thompson discussed Schiavone's experiences in the business. This kind of thing really helps figures get personal with the fans, without even needing to meet them, and Schiavone is undoubtedly one who fans feel close to.
His relationship with the fans will never sour, and viewers are lucky to have him on AEW.
