Guest Cerebus Report post Posted April 30, 2003 "There has been talk within WWE to calling Tony Schiavone to hire him to replace Jim Ross for a few weeks on the RAW announcers table. This would play into the real life bitter rivalry between the two men and would avoid viewers from having to listen to Jonathan Coachman, who many feel is not getting the job done. Nevertheless the idea of Schiavone has been shot down by Kevin Dunn of WWE, so it is being doubted to happen." source: Rajahwwf.com Anyone know what Shiavone & Ross hate each other for?

Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 30, 2003 I hope Schiavone comes in, I REALLY miss him. He's better than most, I've always prefered him actually, even over JR. Besides, both King and JR have become almost parody's of themselves, it'd be nice for a change. However, I don't know how a FEUD could work between the two, and God knows I don't want to see a match between them both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted April 30, 2003 However, I don't know how a FEUD could work between the two, and God knows I don't want to see a match between them both. Who says they'd have a match? They'd just get some pitiful wrestlers to do the one upsmanship for the two guys. JR would get Test to do the wrestling for him. Schiavone would get Steiner to do his work. ...wait a minute. Dear God~! IT COULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest razazteca Report post Posted April 30, 2003 They need Tony to do the During the commercials we left the tape machines rolling I don't know who is worst Tony shrilling Hogan or JR shrilling Austin.

Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted May 1, 2003 No one answered your question, I noticed. I guess I will. Back in the early 90s when they were both announcers in WCW, after Bill Watts was fired many expected Jim Ross to take over since he had the expirience and respect, but it instead went To Eirc Bishoff, who made Tony Schiavone executive producer instead of Ross. This pissed off Ross (really who wants Tony Schiavone as their boss) and he left for the WWF. I think thats the story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
