Caprice Coleman Chops It Up with Billie Starkz.

Coleman welcomes us to the show, and he welcomes Minion 400,237.75. He thanks her for being her, and she thanks him for having her. She’s crunched for time but not too bad, but let’s keep it tight. Coleman says he’s so proud of her. We’ve seen her grow up before our eyes. When did she start wrestling? She started at 13, very young. She grew up in Kentucky, but crossed the bridge into Indiana where it is “lawless.” You have to wait until you’re 18 in Kentucky, but she crossed over and started early. Before she was a pro-wrestler, she was really into sports, but she would constantly tell her parents it was to build towards pro-wrestling. Cross country for cardio, cheerleading for body control.

Pro-wrestling was the dream, no real back up plan. She’d go, “I could be a teacher, I could be an ice cream truck driver,” just random things. But at the end of the day, this was the number one goal. Even in all of that, she was still valedictorian at her high school. Even Billie was shocked getting the news from her teacher, she had to check if this was right. So what helped her? Did wrestling help her study? Or did she just have a natural intelligence? Billie is pretty sure she has a very sharp memory, and she had so many amazing teachers working around her schedule, and her parents were so supportive. She could not have done everything without that support system,

Okay, so she graduates, she wrestles, even traveled to Japan and Mexico. She has the record for Youngest Gaijin to Main Event Korakuen Hall, and that was while she was still in high school. She was doing school on a Chrome Book. Then she gets the call from AEW. She won’t lie, she was emailing while still under 18 asking if she could be part of a show, but they told her, “Not yet, kid. Wait a little longer.” So she got signed at 18 and her life changed. Did she know it was a big deal? Or was it just a job? Billie was on the couch and remembered saying she did it, this is her time! It was very emotional, cuz she never expected it to happen as quickly as it did.

What makes her different is that not just how quickly, but she was also going to college while wrestling. She would be in the back during a show, finishing up exams and papers with people helping. What was that like? It was kinda funny, really, doing college on the road, especially with this group of people. Some would tell her that they’ve never even seen a college textbook, don’t even bother them with it. But then there was Athena, a big math genius. Don’t ask all the time, but Billie would ask her when she was stumped, “Please help me, Big Boss Woman.” And Aubrey Edwards, too, she’s a genius, she helped with the business and marketing classes.

Coleman says it’s like a family. Yes, it is a family here in AEW/ROH. Billie would get off the road, get to her hotel, and doing her homework while waiting on Door Dash, and everyone’s hanging out, helping her out. Coleman says Billie even just bought a house. She did! She’s truly adulting, and she never expected it to be this quick. She’s so happy with how it’s all turned out. Coleman also says she’s got hobbies, like farming. Yes, that’s her dream for after wrestling. She wants cows, chickens, horses, all of it. But like, the thick-legged chickens! Some say they’re monsters, but she says they’re “adorable abominations!”

Athena shouts for Billie to wrap up so she can shine the belt! And Coleman better not be filling Billie’s head with stupid ideas. Coleman says he was just congratulating her. CH’YEAH! Billie is still under Athena’s wing, or perhaps under her thumb, but will the dream continue to be a dream?

Kyle Fletcher w/ Don Callis Family VS Mascara Dorada!

The title wasn’t on the line, but these two fought like it was! The International Champion stands tall in Arena Mexico, getting streamers, confetti, and smoke in celebration! Kyle wins the Global War, but will he be ready to go All In with The Rainmaker and The Alpha?

My Thoughts:

A great Global Wars special for ROH, and surprised they kept it to 90 minutes. Great title matches to open, but I would’ve found a way to even just edit one of those as the main event. Not that Kyle VS Dorada wasn’t great, but I felt it was rather quick and it wasn’t a title match, just a tune-up match. Put one of the title matches in the main event to make that title a bigger deal. But even so, it was clear the titles were staying with the champs. On top of that, El Clon is so good, I’m glad AEW/ROH is giving him more screen time.

Great Six Woman Tag, as random as it was to slap Shafir, Skye & Shida together. Great win for the Faces, but it’s still anyone’s guess who wins the TBS title on Wednesday. And very good match from Komander VS Soberano for being a fast, ten minute match. Soberano winning was definitely so CMLL could actually get points on the board in this Global War. I wonder if we see Soberano getting an ROH title opportunity as we move into Autumn.

My Score: 8.9/10
