During his podcast What Happened When, AEW announcer Tony
Schiavone was asked about Punk’s comment when he mentioned
him during the interview on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani
this past Monday.
Punk said that Schiavone was the one who went over to ask
him to deal with Jack Perry when Perry was cussing everyone
out after he was told he could not use real glass during an
episode of Collision.
Co-host Conrad Thompson told Schiavone that Punk had nothing
bad to say about him but wanted his reaction to Punk’s
version of events.
“Did he have a couple of stories about me? Jungle Boy,
right?” asked Tony. You know what? I really don’t give a
shit about it. I’m not gonna get into this.”
Schiavone said he “knows what he said” and he’s going to let
Punk talk about it if he wants and that’s all he has to say
about it.
“Look…okay…I don’t give a shit. That’s all I can say. I
can’t get into that. It would be stupid for me to get into
that, so f*cking what?” Tony continued.
He said that he had no idea what Punk said because he did
not see the interview but someone mentioned to him that Punk
brought up his name, with Thompson once again pointing out
the fact that Punk had no bad things to say about Tony.
“I know,” Schiavone responded. “That’s why I’m saying, ‘So
what?’ If he was critical of me, people would say, ‘Oh,
Schiavone on his podcast wanted to defend himself.’ I have
nothing to defend. Let’s move on,” Schiavone concluded.
