Tony Schiavone To Return To The MLW Commentary Team
MLW has announced that legendary wrestling commentator Tony Schiavone will be making his return to the MLW commentary booth this summer. Schiavone expressed uncertainty about his MLW availability with WrestleZone earlier this year in an interview, but it looks like the two parties has worked out some openings in the the schedule. Schiavone has been quite busy being a broadcaster for the minor league Atlanta Braves affiliate baseball team Gwinnett Stripers in addition to being a member of the Georgia Bulldogs Radio Network as well as his What Happened When podcast with Conrad Thompson (and not to mention the production work he’s been a major part of for Starrcast).
This summer one of wrestling’s most beloved voices returns to the broadcast booth to call Major League Wrestling’s flagship weekly series MLW FUSION.
Major League Wrestling confirmed today that legendary commentator Tony Schiavone returns to the airwaves this July alongside Rich Bocchini.
Revered as one of the sport’s most iconic voices, Schiavone has anchored the broadcast team for MLW FUSION on and off since the series premiered on beIN SPORTS in April 2018.
“Just like the fans, I’ve been hoping for Tony’s return and this summer it happens,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “Tony is one of the most talented broadcasters in the sport.”
Major League Wrestling’s flagship series MLW FUSION airs on beIN SPORTS Saturday nights at 9pm EST / 6pm PST.
A television and radio sports broadcaster for decades, Tony has called some of the sport’s most memorable matches and moments. A lifelong fan, Tony has worked for WCW, Jim Crockett Promotions and WWE on air as a play-by-play man as well as behind the scenes as a TV producer.
In January 2017, Tony debuted his popular weekly podcast on the MLW Radio Network available every Monday called What Happened When with his podcasting tag team partner Conrad Thompson.
When not podcasting, Tony can be heard in the booth for the Gwinnett Stripers. Tony also works for Sports Radio 92.9 The Game and can be heard anchoring sports each morning on Atlanta’s Morning News as well as hosting Pro Wrestling Wednesday. Tony is a member of the Georgia Bulldogs Radio Network and works on the post game show during both home and away games.
