Tony Schiavone Signs Multi-Year Deal With MLW

Legendary wrestling broadcaster and commentator Tony Schiavone has signed a multi-year deal with independent company Major League Wrestling. 

Schiavone only recently returned to wrestling since the fall of WCW, and returned last year as a part of MLW. 

In a press release, Schiavone said he was grateful to MLW for the opportunity. 

He said: "I am excited about the chance to watch and hopefully help the careers of many young wrestlers grow."

The former WCW commentator will team with Rich Bocchini at the company's new weekly one-hour series FUSION, which began airing last week.

MLW CEO Cort Bauer said that Tony's voice is one of the most prominent and wrestling history and described him as a soundtrack for decades of fans. 

"Tony’s standards, historical knowledge of the sport and enthusiasm for sharing the backstories of the wrestlers who enter the ring enriches the broadcast experience for the MLW and beIN SPORTS audience."
