Calling the Action:10 best Wrestling announcers

#8 Tony Schiavone

Dusty Rhodes calls the action with Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan

For many wrestling fans, Tony Schiavone was the voice of WCW.

He wasn't the first announcer to join the company, but he was the lead announcer from 1990 until the company's purchase by Titansports in 2001. His voice was synonymous with Monday Nitro and Thunder.

Schiavone's trademarks were a no-nonsense, straight man approach and clear diction even under duress. He was also a 'babyface' announcer, meaning he denounced cheating tactics and tried to garner sympathy for the face wrestlers.

Tony was seen recently promoting Starrcade for the WWE network in a retro style ad. Hopefully, we'll be seeing more of him in the future.
