In a recent episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, wrestling legend Eric Bischoff shared his thoughts on the possibility of Tony Schiavone, a renowned commentator, being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. Without hesitation, Bischoff expressed his strong conviction that Schiavone deserves this prestigious honor, citing his extensive contributions to the world of professional wrestling.
Schiavone, who currently serves as a play-by-play commentator for AEW’s Saturday Night Collision and an on-screen commentator for Dynamite and Rampage, has been an integral part of the promotion since its inception in 2019. However, his experience in the industry stretches back to the 1990s, when he worked with WCW and WWF, performing similar roles to his current one.
Bischoff, a Hall of Famer himself, emphasized that Schiavone’s work in WCW, in particular, makes him a strong candidate for Hall of Fame induction. He even went as far as to say that if Schiavone hadn’t been associated with AEW, he might have already received the recognition he deserves.
Despite being in his 60s, Schiavone shows no signs of slowing down, continuing to work tirelessly on commentary and interviews for AEW’s three weekly shows and major pay-per-view events.
In a recent podcast appearance, Schiavone shared his plans for the future, acknowledging his limitations but expressing confidence in his ability to work through one more contract. He also left the door open for negotiations with AEW President Tony Khan.
While Schiavone’s future plans are still uncertain, one thing is clear: his contributions to professional wrestling are undeniable. If Eric Bischoff’s endorsement is any indication, it’s only a matter of time before Schiavone takes his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame.
With his illustrious career spanning multiple decades, Schiavone’s induction would be a well-deserved recognition of his dedication and expertise in professional wrestling.
