How amazing was Jade Cargill's Smackdown debut? They knocked it out of the park. The entire Damage Ctrl story has been spectacular and well built. 

It was fantastic.  Jade is special, no doubt.  She walks into a room and everyone turns to look at her.  She’s so, so unique.  They didn’t really do all that much with her on her debut, and it was perfect.  When you see her do something, you believe what your eyes tell you.

What did you think of the IYO-Bayley segment? I loved IYO's promo with subtitles and the fight was believable. Why is it so hard for other companies to utilize women this well?

I loved it.  I thought it was great stuff.  I love the use of closed captioning to get over what the wrestlers who don’t speak English as their native tongue think.

Lastly what did you think of Tiffany Stratton’s vignette? To me she felt like a big star and i loved that it further explained her and her motivations

She is a stud, no doubt.  It was a great promo and if you watched her in NXT, you knew she would be a star when she made it to the main roster.  By the way, if you are interested Mike Eps and I cover the goings on from Smackdown in the FMB every week.  

What do you think about the subtitles for stars like Iyo and Nakamura? I like at as it makes them seem more natural and engaging having them speak in their native language. Do you think we would have seen this under Vince? And what do you think about having a translator/manager as another option?

As I sad above, I love it.  Personally, I like the captioning better than have a manager talk for talents.  We get to see their passion when they speak and that adds to their character.  I like that.

Do you think they would ever do a Mania from multiple stadiums like Wrestlemania 2, like 1 night be from 1 stadium and another night be at another stadium?

Never say never but at this time I don’t see any way that they do that.  For one thing, they sell Mania as a big boon to a city.  That second night is part of what they sell.  For another, two locations means more costs.  It makes much more financial sense to run the shows from Friday to Monday all in one locale.
