Tony Schiavone is fond of Chris Hero.

The AEW commentator spoke on his latest “What Happened When?” podcast about AEW bringing in Chris Hero to work behind-the-scenes for the company.

“Afterwards, me and Chris Hero hung out for a couple of hours, just sitting down and having some coffee and talking about wrestling for two hours,” he said. “I just love talking to him about it. Talking to him about not only the history, about what works as far as a wrestling ring, what works in the ring, what doesn’t work, what he has seen.”

Schiavone continued, “So yeah, I’ve developed a very good relationship with Chris. Not only that, I’ve said it to him, that he’s a hell of coach. He knows his wrestling, and he’s a very positive, good guy. Great hire by Tony Khan.”
