All Elite Wrestling commentator Tony Schiavone recently discussed several professional wrestling topics on his podcast, “What Happened When. ” One topic was how 1995 was a fun era for WCW.
Schiavone said, “Because Hogan and Savage were with us, I was really pumped up about what we were doing. And I get it, you know? I mean, a lot of people did not like Hogan and they were — well, anyway. But we had Hogan, we had Flair, we had a lot of great stars. And we were in Las Vegas, so I was feeling very good about it.”
On how he believes Gene Okerlund and Bobby Heenan are two of the greatest people he has ever worked with:
“I go back to how great my career has been of the people I’ve worked with, these are the two of the greats ever. Heenan may be considered the greatest color man and manager ever. And course, Gene Okerlund is the best stick man ever. There’s nobody even close to him, how good he was. So I have a chance to work with these guys? Holy smokes. Right now I’m on a pretty big high just standing there with these two.”
