I did like "As someone who's lost of a lot of matches, how does that affect your gameplan going forward Caprice?"

As happy as I was to see him back he did seem off and detracted from that booth's great chemistry.

it got better in hour 3 and 4 but the first two hours were pretty rough and he was way too aggro. it definitely shook up ricc and caprice's harmony

I don't share Mark Briscoe's faith, but I really respected the way he presented it: Basically that he could either just claim he has faith and still feel miserable, or he can walk the walk and truly believe that Jay is still with him, and he feels the latter.

i thought it was a great interview too

It's not that kind of test.
Am I misremembering, or has Nigel been technically cleared to wrestle? If he's at serious risk I'd rather not see it, but it's worked out pretty well for Danielson and Joe, and Edge...hasn't ended up disabled anyway.

He's said that he physically can wrestle. That was several years ago and he's closing in on 50 so who knows if that has changed.

If I remember correctly, both Bryan and Nigel were going to join WWE. But Nigel told the truth about his health issues while Bryan lied.

She was a terrible WWE promo, but that's almost never a slight on a person themselves. All of that "no personality" stuff should have gone out the window when she started doing promos with Stat. They had a fun dynamic together.

I saw her first post-WWE match against Thunder Rosa at a local indie and she did an injury fakeout spot that was the kickoff to her doing a bunch of fun heel work. At the time I was like "drat, I guess there's a difference between the kind of personality that gets you over at an indie show and the kind of personality that gets you over on TV," but then it turned out she could just keep doing that schtick on TV and it would continue to be very entertaining

Made him look like an idiot. Caprice's blazer was nice. Men stop being afraid of colours and patterns challenge.

Very fun PPV. The reach for the sky match was kind of a mess but it was a lot of fun right up until the injury. You could tell Penta was loving gutted too. I feel so bad for Top Flight. This should've been their year. :smith:

I know a lot of people didn't like the finish to Mark Briscoe / Samoa Joe, and since I consider Mark to be my biggest babyface in wrestling right now, I can understand why. But after hearing Tony on the scrum, I'm really not worried about how he'll be handled. Not only does he seem to appreciate Mark's talent, he clearly cares about the man and gave him credit for helping Tony immensely while he struggled with his mom's illness.

That doesn't mean Tony can't make missteps in his booking but I don't have to worry that Mark will wind up forgotten or buried, I feel like Tony thinks the world of Mark and the Briscoe clan. Obviously the fans love Mark too, so I think he's got a long and successful career ahead of him... which will match nicely with the long and successful career he's already had! :)

She definitely should not have and I am thankful she didn't and found herself and a great new character in the aftermath.

Yeah, TBS Champion babyface Athena would eventually have to turn into anime weirdo heel Athena and I don't know if that happens on the timeline it does without her losing to Jade.

TBS Champion Athena almost certainly doesn't wrestle Jody Threat on Dark and become Beast Athena so everything happened exactly as it should have

Watching All Star Extravaganza VIII and just got my first taste of The Cabinet, a stable whose slogan was apparently Make Wrestling Great Again (show took place in Sept. 2016, naturally) and whose theme was a remix of Hail to the Chief. Then before the match started they made fun of Colin Kapernick by kneeling during the Code of Honor while Caprice Coleman declared that anyone who attacked them while they were peacefully protesting would be disqualified by the US Senate (?????)

The whole thing is very :nallears: but it's too confusing to be truly offensive
