  • stupid crowd.

  • schiavone looks like al borland

  • That was horrid.

    

  • How hilarious was the way Paul Bearer said Tony Shiavone

  • I love that "Who Cares?" sign!

  • That was a good shoot by Tony. Stupid ass fans didn't get the segment.

  • Tony Schiavone...the only man worse than Mike Adamle

  • She is hot. Thumbs up if you would toss her salad

  • Schiavone was always a fucking faggot. I never liked him.

  • haha, I completely owned Noah Schiavone ( his real name ) on Twitter. I brought up WCW and actually did nothing but pay him a kind, generous comment and what does he do?

    He cock BLOCKS me on Twitter LOL!! He's a retard.

  • Paul Bearer's fat as fuck!

  • I kept expecting Schiavone to say "I wasn't even supposed to BE here today"

  • @lamuella Thanks a lot!! Now he'll ALWAYS remind me of Dante Hicks lmao!!!

  • Impact Zone crowds are the absolute worst. Most of them are not even wrestling fans- they're just tourists who got free tickets. This was a great segment and I miss Schiavone.

  • @ar4216 This wasn't Impact Zone - This was the Asylum in Nashville

  • @jcgadfly Thanks. I thought it looked a bit different. Still think the crowd sucked. Tony was great on the mic.

  • @ar4216 This is in Nashville.

  • Geez did he gain weight lol.

  • PIPEBOMB

  • at 4:56 " Vince Russo cost me my job,cost you your job and cost 100s of people their jobs

    at WCW"

    now Russo is gonna COST eveyone their JOBS in TNA!!!!

  • 4:00 shout out to dirtsheets..That's definitely a shoot..

  • Shiavone is the best!....i miss tony and heenan together....

  • @SOULECKZ They were awesome!

  • Tony is a better heel then Michael Cole.

  • ... was that real?

  • WHAT AN AWESOME MATCH ***** MATCH OF THE YEAR!

  • Tits n Ass = TNA lol

  • 6:21  My sentiments exactly.

  • @28Tramnat The sign that is.... I mean what the sign reads.

  • lmao.. where was I this happen

  • Schiavone was so bad he was one of the (many) reasons why I turned away from WCW

  • Don't forget, this was 2003. Those were the days that TNA was on PPV every week. They had the Language, Violence and Nudity.

  • TMZ dot com reporting Mike Tenay has signed on to be in the upcoming remake of Tales from the Crypt and will be playing the crypt keeper..

  • Tony Schiavonie=the J.R. of WCW

  • @spaulv86 J.R. is way better Schiavone,it's not even close.I remember Schiavone ignoring matches as they happened with guys like Guerrero/Jericho/Mysterio because he was building up matches with guys obviously past their prime.

  • @144church WWE mark

  • @xXTheMizSucksXx Thx for that brilliant response

  • @144church Have you not seen Schiavone's work in the NWA days? During WCW, he was being told to say by guys like Eric Bischoff.

  • I understand that Schiavone was the voice of WCW, but he always relied on Bobby Heenans humor or Tenays wrestling knowledge.. even before that he relied on Jesse Ventura and Jim Ross.. IMO he was not a very good commentator

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Listen to the dumb hicks in the audience chanting 'boooooring' during one of the best promos in the history of TNA.

  • @gazz12345a Not only TNA, but the history of our sport.

  • michael cole will live for years and he gone develope himself but tony he is old .

    by the way if tna have wrestlers with mic skils like these men they gone make

    some money for tna not that low rate they always have

  • I agree, the WWE needs to hire Tony Schiavone, and fire Michael Cole, Cole doesn't even belong in the WWE.

  • @saints093 As much as I dislike his character these days, he is a good commentator. He is just a little bit over emphasised, if they do the same with him now, as they did between 1997 and 1999, I'd be happy. That's how he should be.

  • 6:20 Who Cares sing LMFAO!!!!!!

  • The WWE should replace Michael Cole with Tony Schiavone.

  • Tony looks like Dante from Clerks.

  • @MrAdrenaline1982 I was thinking the same thing! LOL

  • This should have been a great Story. Unfortunately Vince Russo was writing it. So we got this great Segment and no Pay Off as usual.

  • @meltzeriser2 i heard its cuz tony wasnt pleased with his performance s pulled out. i thought he was really good tho

  • @laughorcrytv

    Not pleased? He was great in my Opinion. Anyways, even if he would've stayed. Russo would have fucked it up.

  • "Stand next to me -- I need to look thin, OK?" Brutal.

  • truth is, is that tony should of went to wwf after wcw sank and commentated for smackdown because we all know he's a hell a lot better than michael cole

  • Tony 'Pipebomb' Schiavone = Noel Edmonds.

  • Looks like an Evil Hawaiian Magician

    "ITS THE YET-TAY"

  • greatest commentaiter of all times

  • what a stupid promo :facepalm:

  • who is the girl?

  • Tony is the f'n man.

  • @MickieJTNA 0:58-1:01 always makes me laugh.

  • This is awesome. What a bunch of disrespectful, backwoods, Nashville idiots in the crowd. Probably made sure this was never followed up on.

  • This was actually a really great segment with Tony and Mike. I can't understand how that crowd thinks it's boring. I mean obviously they want to see wrestling matches but this is a shoot-style promo, its great.

  • Tony is a commentator for minor league baseball events. He hasn't worked in pro-wrestling in years.

  • I never knew this existed. Tony is actually entertaining here.

  • Are they saying MotherFucker @ 4:20 ???

  • what year was this on TNA ???

  • @hydraIX 2002 - 2003, not sure which.

  • @hydraIX 2002

  • Percy Pringle aka Paul Bearer !!!

  • " Tony Schiavone! Tony Schiavone! Can I ax you a question? What's with all them Yaks, Tony?"

  • Tony Schiavone looks like Kevin Smith with that beard. Schiavone fucking annoyed me during his WCW days, but after seeing this?

    Why didn't he do this "promo" when WCW was in it's dying days?

    and tenay is a fucking douche bag.

  • PIPEBOMB!

  • Looks like Noel Edmonds.

  • 6:14... the sign in the background is how I cared then and how I care now about this silly worked shoot bullshit.

  • just love Schiavone's delivery of "bullshit" at 4:49

  • GOD BLESS TONY WOOT

  • Tony should replace Taz, he sucks.

  • russo is one messed up, fucked up loser. don't ever do business with him

  • Tennay , and Tony back announcing , fucking Taz is the shits...

  • why does this look like it was from the 90s?

  • Wow! This sure put butts in the seats.

  • tony was a great commentator. he kept my interest and psyched me up in wcw especailly his enthusiasm during WCW vs NWO.

  • tonys a tool always has been always will be

  • Remove Mike Retarded Tenay and bring Tony back.

  • WHERE IS TONY??!! Bring him back!

  • @dmichael1986 yea, where is he???

  • @smoothkidd272k6 Last I heard he was doing Atlanta Braves minor league radio.

  • TNA NEEDS TO HIRE HIM AND GET RID OF MIKE TENAY!!!!

  • @dmichael1986 calling minor league baseball

  • @dmichael1986

    I found this on Twitter........

    Tony Schiavone

    @tonyschiavone24 Marietta, GA

    Sports Director, WSB Atlanta; Play By Play Broadcaster, Gwinnett Braves; Sports Announcer, WDUN-Gainesville, GA; Announcer/Producer Georgia Bulldogs Network

  • paul bearer was truly the fattest man in the history of our sport

  • i say bring back tony schiavone,hes awesome.

  • i miss the WCW Tony Schiavone!

  • This Heel Turn is not like Michael Cole.

  • Tony Schiavone shows up on TNA iMPACT as a heel commentator and cutting a promo and shoots, but than is never to be seen in TNA again, but several years later in 2009 Don West did the same thing by verbally assaulted and walking out on Tenay, so Basically Don West got the part instead of Schiavone but only 6 1/2 to 7 years later, I wish they "TNA" would of kept Schiavone around, because with out no doubt Tony is by far a better commentator than West by a long shot.

  • @SkullBugsy Tony Schiavone and CM Punk should join forces and re-revolutionize the business.

  • Stand next to me I need to look thin, Ahaha

  • paul bearer?!!?! in tna?? lol wtf

  • thats cute tenay trying to stand up for the whore

  • Never a big fan of either commentaries. It was all about Bobby Heenan so the hell with Tenay and Shiavone. Tony is doing ok for himself doing baseball commentary

  • i love schiavone.

  • what a train wreck...how the f*ck has Russo managed to steal a paycheck all these years?

  • I should also point out that the Tony that Internet smarks love to trash was the Tony that was taking orders from Eric Bischoff.

  • Tony was great in WCW's pre-Nitro days. JR was also great in WCW too and in the early part of his WWF tenure. They both became caricatures of themselves when they were on wrestling shows that were attracting huge cable TV audiences. Kinda ironic, huh?

  • @912mindchanger I feel you about Mike Tenay, I'll never forget the time he came to my house, killed my family, burned down my house, and conscripted me to join his army of child soldiers.

  • Tony Schiavone for Anonymous Raw GM! ;-)

  • tony a heel??????

  • Damn! Even though it's a "work shoot" I feel true feelings came out. Tony Schiavone is morning sports anchor for both WDUN in Gainesville and WSB-AM in Atlanta for the Gwinnett Braves

  • Gordon Solie>Jim Ross>Gorilla Monsoon>Vince McMahon>Tony Schiavone.

  • Tony was right about Scott Hudson...He was far better than Teney's potatoe chip ass

  • when did this air?

  • Most of this wasn't staged. This was great! Why did the crowd not react? You could hear crickets..

  • Tits and Ass is the reality in every business.

  • Such crap. Enough Russo.

  • Tony definitely took himself too seriously in WCW and Bobby Heenan thought he was the biggest dick. Technically he was good when he wanted but he rarely called matches as he tended to yap about feuds and promote the company during the matches. He came across pretty pompous and without humor too for my taste. Jim Ross and Gordon Solie were SO above everyone else. The drop off is pretty huge after that imo.

  • @aitraining

    Wait You say Jim Ross but Gorilla Moonsoon? Attitude era... assholes.

  • The Kiss top, haha!

  • They should fire Michael Cole and replace him with Tony Schiavone as heel anouncer.

  • Schiavone politically buried himself. That's why it has been 9 years since this awesome bit.

  • DUDE! Tony Schiavone should of Bought WCW and kept it from going bankrupt and lose to the WWE franchise.

    Tony Schiavone is belive it or not a Man who Has More money than all of us on this vid comment page put together.

    if he was to bought off WCW before the bankrupt deadline he would be in complete control of the Business.

  • @LordZacknafien ...then why didnt he?? u come up with all these points but why didnt he????? what an assinine comment

  • @neverdenytheu Because there were other buyers for the WCW company and he only had $270.900.000 to put into the company But seince the company owed Banker fees to the shareholders of the company it would tottal $412.000.000.00 Ballpark and he just doesint have that kind of money to throw into it and now TNA isint lookin to good also and rumor has it that now TNA is goin out of Business,Im not sure yet just a rumor I still need to look into it.

  • @neverdenytheu Oh I forgot to also mention Russo and Tony Schiavone were 50/50 share holder owners for TNA But now Hogan Ric Flair and Eric Bishoff are now the owners of TNA.

    from what i heard Tony Schiavone still gets payed quite well still doin what he does but he is a bit of an ass nowadays but he is still a good man russo on the other hand eh never liked him that much,Tony Schiavone is the way he is to get his Kids into collage wich worked because they Now graduated and moved on.

  • @LordZacknafien wow you really think hogan and bishoff own TNA shows how much you really know lol, and i love how you spelled college

  • @LordZacknafien Then we would have had more KiSS concerts and David Arquette to look forward to.

  • Tenay was retarded, Tony never said he held him down. he said that tenay didnt want to work with him cause he felt tony held him down. Wow what a fixed shoot!!!

  • Is your name goldylocks? As in...who has been sleeping in my bed?

  • This... is... fucking horrible. Way to get the crowd into it.

  • Tony looks like Dante ( Clerks) gay cousin lol

  • @MRJyde ....lolololololol dam that shit is funny

  • This was so bad ass, Why you here goldie locks sleeping in my bed.

  • schiavone was the best announcer

  • This is the biggest promo in the history of our sport

  • Wow haven't watched wrestling in years. This is hilarious. What a downfall! Schivonie looks likea knockoff Kevin Smith wearing a kiss t-shirt.

  • Mike, BULLSHIT!!!!!

  • Percy FTW!!!!

  • lol with the who cares sign

  • Tony should've worked for WWE from 2005-2006 as a substitute for Jim Ross while Ross went under surgery. Schiavone should be the new Play-by-Play for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling instead of Mike Tenay.

  • The next Billy Mays?

  • They need 2 bring Tony Schiavone back!!!!

  • He's actually not too bad in my opinion.

  • @TheCircusfreak777 I don't think so either;only your stereotypical.internet wrestling geeks do.

  • I cannot stand Tony Shiavonne, but I must admit this was very entertaining, because I'vee never seen him heel on anybody for anything. Man finally grew a pair. GO TONY!!!!

  • 6:38 sign in the crowd: "the total non-stop action has officially stopped" LMAO!!!

  • Vince McMahon needs to hire Tony Schiavone to do Monday Night raw along with Jerry Lawler, and Michael Cole needs to be fired from the WWE. Cole is a total jerk and a coward, and he DOES NOT belong in the WWE or in any other wrestling organization.

  • 1:27 because YOU SUCK TONY!

  • tenay really owned schiavone from 7:08-7:28!! he sounded so gay lol.. Iron Gay Mike Tenay

  • i hate tenay always did.. i wish they had joey styles

  • nice to see that their still talk about wcw

  • @FANRJ20

    It's sort of funny because these sort of angles killed WCW(especially the Hogan-Russo incident) and now they are back in TNA!

  • The Problem is Vince Russo, fire him, failure sounds like a cocky arrogant grouchy jerk who doesnt like to do his job, and Mike Tenay saying Tony was all about politics, and not performance, nigga please, Tenay on the mic makes me want to go to sleep, Bring back Tony Schiavone, and get Scott Hall to get in shape, and Nash to dye his hair and you'll get ratings all over again....

  • His voice is distinguishable with wrestling

  • I wish Tony would work for TNA or WWE, I love his voice as a commentator

  • @Shaunmccall101

    Me too....lol!! Wish Tony would come back...

  • Mike Tenay with the only bit of truth in that thing: "Vince Russo doesn't belong anymore".

  • Stand next to me I need to look thin...LOL!!

  • damnnn this is entertaining stuff pisses me off the fans booing

  • @Afroman018 Yeah, those are some ignorant people that have no respect for the business and the history and would just rather watch people beat each other's head in like the neanderthals they are...they'd be better off attending a WWE show, instead.

  • The most orgasmic play-by-play guy ever. I'd like to see him own Michael Cole, lol.

  • Before Michael Cole

  • Worst announcer in wrestling history.

  • @mrbluto3 Before Michael Cole

  • heels = awesome

  • Schiavone owns.

  • I miss hearing Tony Schiavone call the in-ring action.

  • So why didn't Schiavone get back on the air? He had to prefer TNA over the AAA Team down in Atlanta, right? I'm surprised this was a 1-off for him -- Tenay was always a Robin -- having him as your Ace is a bit disappointing. Even during WCW - he was always a bit of a wet blanket

  • God, you people are morons.

  • wtf is a smark?

  • it is a smart mark.

    mark = fan.

    thus a smart fan

  • vince russo really dont belong in wrestling

  • Yeah Russo doesnt belong? He only took over as "head writter" for WWE when WCW was kickin they're ass every week, Russo brought them back from the dead...

    He brought in Stone Colds push, putting him in the fueds with Pillman and even Vince...DX....and The Rock's push to the top.

    besides all that, lol nah he doesnt have any place in the buisness

  • Yeah a lot of people seem to forgot about the good things he done in wrestling but all these so called "smarks" remember him of burying wcw. He had really nothing much to work when he came in wcw back then.

  • What year did this happen? I would like a date as well.

  • TNA Weekly PPV, January 29, 2003.

  • I feel bad for Tony Schiavone.

    For Internet fans & geeks world wide hating on WCW was the popular thing to do, Tony was an easy target

    But for people to honest hear a guy like Jim Ross and say nothing, they turn around and dog Schiavone is just ignorant

    Jim Ross is perhaps the most annoying ever. He was worsse than Tony at making every match and PPV the greatest he ever saw lol

    Which yes tony was bad at, but JR was 10 times worse.

    You gotta be Tony & Bobby Heenan.

  • Tony sucked, and always sucked. Everything off the top rope was a "Flying Body attack." And a "Spine buster" was a "Side walk slam "lol.

    JR >>>>>>> Tony

  • Seriously? Get some help kid

  • Sounds like you need it more than I do.

  • Based on what kid? thats what i'm talking about. I mean its fine if your gonna talk shyt, but at least have some sense or reasoning behind what your saying?
