Tony Schiavone Is Impressed by Jeff Jarrett & Renee Paquette’s Broadcasting Work
– During a recent edition of What Happened When, AEW broadcaster Tony Schiavone praised Jeff Jarrett, noting his work as part of the AEW Double or Nothing Buy-In pre-show. He also had high praise for Renee Paquette. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):
Tony Schiavone on Jeff Jarrett: I guess I shouldn’t have been but I was kind of blown away [by] how versatile Jeff Jarrett is. That f***er can do it all. I mean, he literally can do it all. I sent him a note. I said, ‘Dude, for an old f***er, you can certainly do everything.’ I was just blown away by it. Maybe I shouldn’t have been. I thought his work on the pregame show — Of course, to me, I love RJ City. Some people do, some people don’t. I just think he’s a very talented very positive guy and works pretty hard behind the scenes as well.”
His thoughts on Renee Paquette: “Renee [Paquette] has to be the single most talented person I think I’ve ever worked with as far as on-camera work. Everything is so natural to her and she’s so good at what she does. When they threw Jeff Jarrett in and Jeff was just — I just thought he did a masterful job. I even let him know that. I said, ‘For an old, fucker, you can just about do anything in wrestling.’ Wrestle, talk, like you said, everything. Hell, he could probably run a camera, too, if need be.”
The 56-year-old Jarrett was recently in action on AEW Collision last Saturday, teaming with Jay Lethal and Satnam Singh in a losing effort to Bryan Danielson and FTR.
