Tony Schiavone reveals why he chose AEW over WWE
On the Gettin' Better with Ron Funches podcast, Schiavone revealed that he was reluctant to get back into pro wrestling as his previous run in WCW didn't end well. It turns that WWE had offered him a job at the same time. He said:
"I didn't trust the wrestling business, because of the past. Also, I kind of was offered a job at the WWE at the same time I was offered the job at AEW. And a meeting with Tony Khan in Jacksonville just changed my outlook on wrestling and what it could be. That got me back into it."
