Tony Schiavone is known for his “greatest night in the history of our great sport” catchphrase. His latest achievement might be the greatest night in the history of his own career so far.
Schiavone wears many hats; All Elite Wrestling lead play-by-play announcer, in-ring and backstage interviewer, producer, and podcaster. Now, he’s being inducted into the George Thagos and Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Schiavone is the 2024 Gordon Solie Award recipient, and the fourth person to win the award. The Gordon Solie Award is “given to individuals who exhibit excellence in the field of wrestling commentary, embodying Solie’s commitment to the craft.” Previous honorees include Solie, AEW’s Jim Ross, and Conrad Thompson.
