Schiavone wasn’t done, turning his attention to those who compared AEW airing the All In footage to something WCW would’ve done during its dying days. Having worked for WCW during its dark period, Schiavone was emphatic in calling the comparisons between AEW and WCW ludicrous.

“Some people are saying ‘Oh, the footage you were showing is like the Fingerpoke of Doom moment for AEW,'” Schiavone said. “Well, you know what? That’s what you want it to be, because you want to see us fail. And there is no way, because I was in both companies, there’s absolutely no way that you can compare us to WCW. You can’t. You may want to, you may think you’re right…you’re wrong. You cannot compare us to WCW. I was there for both, you were not.”
