Infinit Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Coach is a good dude. And he was a loyal soldier for the WWE for years. It really shows the sad state of where Vince is now that he would nickel and dime somebody to this extent. https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/jonathan-coachman-says-the-xfl-owes-him-money-and-he-doesnt-want-to-work-for-wwe-vince-mcmahon-again/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Stephen A admitting he wanted Max off the show surprises me. Not that it's why Max is off, just that SAS admitted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's why Max is off, just that SAS admitted it. From what I understand, the two of them actually like each other, but Max has always been a square peg on that show. Bomani Jones and Dominique Foxworth were talking about the times they've been on First Take a few weeks ago. Both of them are very good at television, but neither of them seem to think that they could do that show. They both said something to the effect that the show works at it's best when someone can go as hard at Stephen A. as he goes at them. He actually needs someone to come back at him with a strong opinion so they can go back and forth. The problem is that no one actually has the ability to come up with instant strong opinions like him. He doesn't want to talk over someone the entire time, he wants and needs someone to actually try to compete with him. Max is good at what he does, that show isn't what he does.

Eoae Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 I didn't watch much of the Kellerman era of First Take, but my impression from what I did watch is that Max was a weird fit. I think he's a knowledgeable guy and fine in other roles, but he's not a big personality like Stephen A. or in your face with his opinions like Skip Bayless. I kinda felt like Screamin' A was probably going to drown him out just with force of personality and a lot of bombast. Watched the show new format some and it's got more energy, imo. Not opposed to the rotating guest host format. Honestly, Irvin and Stephen A. screaming at each other on a daily basis would probably be good tv.

If you read anything about the 90s era Cowboys, you'll find that not only is it comparable, but Michael Irvin was the most influential person on the entire team. Michael Irvin is a crazy person who not only does crazy things himself, but influences everyone around him to be just as crazy. He's one of those people who does everything at 100% intensity 100% of the time, and you either have to match that intensity or be destroyed by it. I think he'll be great with Stephen A. and it's also why he'd have been an incredible wrestler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too loud, way too amped up. When you make Screamin' A look calm by comparison... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
