AEW Commentator Praises Vince McMahon’s Work In The Same Role

Current AEW commentator Tony Schiavone recently praised Vince McMahon’s announcing skills on his “What Happened When” podcast.

Schiavone, while reviewing a 1997 episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, expressed his admiration for McMahon’s work behind the microphone.

I always thought Vince was one of the best announcers during the business during his run. I go back and when you think of great commentary teams, to me Vince McMahon and Jesse “The Body” Ventura were one of the best commentary teams ever.

Schiavone went on to compare McMahon’s partnership with Jesse Ventura to other legendary duos in the industry.

I go back and when you think of great commentary teams, to me Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura were one of the best commentary teams ever. Just like Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan or Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross.

Schiavone attributed much of McMahon’s success to his unique position as the company’s owner.

And realistically it’s Vince’s company and so he knew what to say, he knew how to promote things. I thought he was great in this era.

However, Schiavone did point out one aspect of McMahon’s physical presence that he felt was less than ideal for an announcer.

The only thing I didn’t like is that he’s so tall and the idea is your announcer needs to be smaller than the talent. But he was smart. He would make sure that he wasn’t in there with guys that he would dwarf over.

AEW Star Who Says Vince McMahon Is “The Best Heel Character In History”

Another AEW talent has also recently praised Vince McMahon’s on camera work. WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett recently said that Vince’s McMahon’s role as the bad guy owner of his company was the best because it was so relatable.
