Tony Schiavone on working with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan on WWE Prime Time Wrestling: “This was my first [WrestleMania] and as a matter of fact, this — March 27th, I would have been with the company for about two months, I guess. And so I was really pretty excited to be able to do this and be able to be in Atlantic City, and be a part of this and be able to work with Heenan and Gorilla and everybody there for the first time. I was pretty pumped. And again I’ve told this story over and over, that I came from a small company, Jim Crockett Promotion, as they like to call it in this world, a mom-and-pops type organization. And I went from there to this big company in Connecticut, with a production facility and the organization. It was staffed the way I thought a wrestling company should be staffed, or any company. So I was pretty pumped about being here this whole time.”

On Tony Chimel Working for AEW: “Tony Chimel works with AEW, did you know that? We see him, he works in the arena business. The arena part of AEW, so I see him a lot.”
