But Schiavone, currently the play-by-play man for the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves baseball team, is trying to tamp down any hints of a return to the ringside announce position.

“Don’t think my voice could take it anymore,” Schiavone tweeted one fan who actually had asked him about interest in a return to wrestling with tna.

Schiavone has broadcast minor-league baseball, pro wrestling and other sports dating back to the late 1970s.

The visit to WWE headquarters is reportedly related to Schiavone taping interviews for an upcoming WCW DVD.
