Yeah this caught me off guard when I was watching Collision but count me in. Really intrigued as to where it goes

Think it's interesting that there's been a noticeable jump in quality of promo's like this too, from Toni to BCG to Cage & Big Bill to Swerve & AR Fox to Christian Cage to Statlander. Their backstage segments felt like a weak point for quite a while, just throwaway talking between matches, but they've been fantastic this week and it's really great timing. Yeah feels like there's been an effort to ensure they're actually entertaining and not just functional. Possibly inspired by the success of the Cole/MJF bromance. No promo can achieve it's goals if people stop paying attention.

Felt this needed its own thread: That was perfection. Bravo! Edit: I also had to send this to my fiancee who LOVES old Hollywood stuff. Edit 2: He said it was beautiful, and he could absolutely see the parallels to Norma Desmond, and is now trying to talk me into seeing Sunset Boulevard DO IT. It's great.

"Tony, did you know that we are now as far away from the 1980s as the 1980s were from 1950?" "Quite a bit further away, actually." "DON'T CORRECT ME!"

This is certainly an upgrade over "wild child of the 80s"

Oh, this is a fantastic direction for a former champion. Best promo I've heard from Toni and she's never been bad, but this is full blown character acting.

This is certainly an upgrade over "wild child of the 80s" Wild Child of the 50s. She should just keeps going further back with every major loss until she's reforming The Osirian Portal.

If she goes full Norma Desmond, just make sure she has an appropriate theme: Imagine Toni and her husband acting in a two-person, one-act play just going bonkers. Juice and Toni as the youngest leading pair to ever star in a production of On Golden Pond. "The LOONS, Juice, the LOONS!" " I SEE 'EM, TON-IIIIIIIIII!!!"

You couldn’t make a gimmick more for me if you tried.
Please have her lose a match but say CUT!!! like it was just a take and they restart it until she wins.

Like I always say, the way to unlock someone's personality, is to have them yell at Tony Schiavone.

Somehow, Goldust should interact with her.

I absolutely loved this promo. I think possibly the best promo by a woman since the promotion started. Brandi had real good delivery but said stupid bullshit, I can't think of any other particularly gifted talkers - Britt is good but has no real standout promos

She's playing Mildred Burke in a movie so that might be coming to play in all this.

Her "Shut up" was so properly annunciated that I can't help BUT be 100% on board with this.

I don't think anyone could've predicted Toni going from cool rocker chick to high school mean girl to washed up 1950s actress in a little over a year. I'm so grateful to be with her on this weird, beautiful journey.
