All Elite Wrestling commentator Tony Schiavone appeared on AdFreeShows.com to talk about a variety of topics such as how pro wrestling legend and ROH World Champion Chris Jericho is kind of the leader of the AEW locker room as well as how he is kind of in charge of several AEW Stars' creative.
Tony Schiavone said:
"He's going to be, he's just kind of a leader of the locker room. That's basically all that I know about it. When we have locker room meetings, he kind of runs things. There's a number of athletes that he's kind of in charge of their creative, and other than that, he's just a guy that has a lot of clout, and because he has a lot of clout, when he says something, the wrestlers take it to heart. I don't know if he really has an official title like we do, but I just know that that's kind of what he's doing. Call It the team captain for lack of a better word."
Tony Schiavone also talked about the rumor that he is AEW CEO Tony Khan’s right hand man and how that is furthest from the truth because Tony Khan does not have a number two as he is his own number two.
Tony Schiavone said:
"I did a search on the internet and it came up that Tony Schiavone was now number two and Tony Khan's right hand man and I thought (he laughs), okay, as long as the wrestlers believe that, what hell, because that's furthest from the truth. Tony Khan does not have a number two. He's his own number two.”
