Tony Schiavone/WWE, LuFisto Deactivates Twitter/X, Sammy Guevara/Tay Melo, Rampage
On the latest edition of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone reflected on his time working as a broadcaster for WWE.
Schiavone stated that he was usually working with either Bruce Prichard or Kevin Dunn during his broadcast tenure with Vince McMahon’s company.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On how Prichard would produce his work: “Bruce Prichard was my boss and worked closely with Kevin Dunn. I’ve brought this up many times, there was a little bit of a problem where Bruce kept telling me ‘Vince is thinking you’re sounding too southern.’ I said ‘Really?’”
On Prichard now being both the “good cop and bad cop”: “I guess that’s changed, he’s good cop and bad cop now.”
On no announcer enjoying having Vince McMahon in their ear: There’s not one announcer out there that had Vince producing in their ear that said they enjoyed it. I think I was respected. I think after I left I wasn’t.”
AEW couple Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo will be the guest on tomorrow’s edition of Hey! (EW) with RJ City. You can check out a preview clip below:

LuFisto has deactivated her Twitter account following her recent allegations regarding AEW management and the AEW locker room.
LuFisto recently stated that there was a talent trying to keep her out of AEW, claiming that the environment backstage was toxic and hostile, resulting in her not receiving a second stint with the company in a producer or coaching role.
LuFisto wrote the following in her latest tweet,
“I wanted to leave this world knowing women’s wrestling was better. It was for a while, but not anymore. The sad part is that you accept it without saying a word. It is what it is. What a waste.”
