All Elite Wrestling commentator Tony Schiavone recently discussed several professional wrestling topics on his podcast, “What Happened When,” including Jim Cornette’s criticism of Cope and saying he tarnished his legacy by going to AEW.

Schiavone said, “If you look at that about legacy, about what it is — his legacy in the WWE is never going to be destroyed. Listen, Edge and Christian [are] one of the great tag teams of all time.
