On the latest episode of his “What Happened When” podcast, AEW commentator Tony Schiavone discussed AEW talents taking huge risks during their matches.
The recent steel cage match between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley on AEW Dynamite saw the former AEW World Champions utilize various weapons, including glass.
The risky spots concerned Schiavone so much that he actually went to check on Moxley and Omega following their steel cage match.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On checking on the two: “’Kenny, are you okay? Mox, are you okay?’ They did something that I’ve never seen. Of course, obviously, you’ve seen it. And maybe wrestling fans have seen it, but I’ve seen light tubes, I’ve never seen anybody come up with a bag of glass. I’ve seen them come up with a bag of tacks. But never the bag of glass. And that’s really dangerous because that shit and get embedded in your back. And you may have to have like have him cut out. So I was concerned about both of them, really.”
On making a habit of checking on talent after crazy matches: “I always do this. I mentioned that when guys do crazy stuff, I’ll always thank them for a great show, for, yes, risking their health and their body to give us a great show. Because that’s what they do, you can work on different spots in the ring. But when it comes to. Furniture or glass or tax or steel, you kind of really never know what’s gonna happen. That’s right, you really do. You can’t prepare for it. That’s why I said that to them.”
