Loads of eyebrows had been raised final evening (Jan. 8) when AEW commentator Tony Schiavone missed Dynamite. Excalibur mentioned Tony was out “on project,” however some people suspected he might need been suspended for tweeting and deleting the next insult about NJPW commentator Chris Charlton:
“Hey [Chris] talking for all of us in AEW, GFY. And talking for all of us who’ve been round you, take a bathe infrequently.”
That was Tony’s response to the detrimental feedback Charlton made about AEW (which incorporates calling Tony Khan a cash mark) throughout the Wrestle Dynasty broadcast, which led to NJPW placing Chris on “indefinite hiatus.”
Based on Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, Schiavone was not suspended by AEW for telling smelly Charlton to go fuck himself. As an alternative, Schiavone missed Dynamite resulting from a household matter.
“It’s nothing huge or something like that. When he wasn’t there I began getting all these folks going like, ‘Oh my god, did he get suspended for that [post]?’ Nevertheless it was only a household scenario. He’s effective. He’ll be again, I presume on Saturday. It’s not something to be alarmed over. It was only a household factor. He missed one present.”
Are you cheerful to learn that Tony might be again on AEW commentary ASAP? Let me know within the feedback under, Cagesiders.
