Tony Schiavone was the voice of the Turner Network’s WCW from its boom to its bust. What Happened When is a collection of stories from that time, and an expert view on wrestling from the early 80s to the modern-day. If you enjoy wrestling or just a good laugh, this What Happened When podcast review is here to show you why you need to listen.
The Hosts: As mentioned previously, Tony Schiavone is best known for his time as the voice of World Championship Wrestling. Schiavone has also been a commentator for baseball and college football and is an expert and enthusiast of broadcasting and sports in general. What Happened When is facilitated by Conrad Thompson, who we covered in our Something to Wrestle podcast review.
The Guests: What Happened When does not feature guests, but does occassionaly crossover with Conrad Thompson’s other podcasts like Arn.
Why You Have to Listen: What Happened When has a unique energy even amongst other wrestling podcasts. Schiavone brings self-effacing humor to the table (and that humor comes in spades). While intelligent and passionate, both hosts are able to see the sillier side of wrestling and every other part of life. Recurring jokes and segments such as “Tony Reads Rap” make this podcast a constant laugh, with some great insight found in-between giggles.
