In a recent episode of his podcast called “What Happened When”, Tony Schiavone, a commentator who works with AEW (All Elite Wrestling), was prompted to discuss the ongoing collaboration between TNA Wrestling and WWE, specifically their talent exchange.
Schiavone confessed that he wasn’t up-to-date with the specifics of this coordination, saying it didn’t directly involve or impact him.
Highlights from this podcast episode are listed out below:
When asked about TNA Wrestling’s partnership with WWE, Schiavone said: “I’m not familiar with what’s going on. You’re telling me news I haven’t heard.”
Discussing why he doesn’t pay particular attention to WWE’s moves, given they don’t affect him personally, he said: “Because what they do does not impact me at all. People may say, ‘Well, yes it is because there’s a war going on and you’re competing for numbers.’ You know what, it ain’t what you think. This is not the 90s. Here’s proof it’s not the 90s. They’re going on Netflix. They’re going on a streaming service, okay. A streaming service. So I don’t know what they’re doing. If you get tied up into what they’re doing, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. You need to focus on your s*, at least from my perspective.”
