I loved Inner Circle. JAS never really hit with me, but I also wasn’t watching consistently. Ultimately I guess I like seeing a legend still doing it every week. It’s not like he just shows up for the big PPVs and never works TV the way a lot of the other older stars historically have. He shows up every week for all shows and does a full run when he’s in, and that’s a plus IMO.

Ha, I didn’t initially like Orange Cassidy until I realized this was what he was doing.
