Tony Schiavone on working with Shaquille O’Neal on AEW DYNAMITE:
“I was so thrilled to stick my head into the ambulance, and see that Shaq had disappeared! I was glad to be a part of that. That was a lot of fun!”
Ref Aubrey on the Lucha Bros vs The Young Bucks at AEW ALL OUT:
“All of us, when we saw the cage and saw [Rey] Fenix, we just said, ‘Oh God! He’s going to do something crazy!’ Because that’s just what Rey Fenix does!”
