Exactly right

[@Redheadliner]

Mike/Madcap always really impressed me with his in-ring skills and I thought he really deserved more attention. The only one who is more intense running ropes is Bron Breakker. A truly missed opportunity by WWE but glad to see he and Tenille are just out enjoying life -- and congrats on the engagement!

[@L.m.CeeTee]

Unfortunately the Fed took his passion. He would be a perfect fit for TNA and would excel there.

[@dwightyboy5324]

​@@L.m.CeeTeeI think he'd be great in TNA too, he could probably have a good run there and maybe come back to WWE one day, I think he'd be the type of guy they could rehire in the future

[@JorgeGarcia-gp5cf]

It still blows my mind the AZ Cardinals Defensive Coordinator is Mike's brother. Athleticism definitely runs in the family!

[@spc3461]

Such an inspiring journey! Tenille and Mike’s story of love, life after WWE, and their adventures around the globe is truly captivating. It’s amazing to see how they’ve embraced change and are crafting a beautiful narrative together. Thanks for sharing this intimate glimpse into their lives, Chris. Your interviews always bring out the most heartfelt stories. 🌟

[@Garganit]

Dude you should get more couples/ 2 people at once interviews! a very interesting dynamic

[@sammyv3100]

Should do Chelsea and Matt next

[@eclectica1]

​@@sammyv3100 Might have to wait a while given that he interviewed both separately relatively recently.

[@TheStuport]

Love the positivity of Riddick and Tenille in focusing on "What's Next" rather than bemoan getting released. Great shot of Riddick's eyes @ 2:13 when Tenille casually mentioned that both of them hadn't really looked at one another in that Romantic sort of way! I'm thinking "That Look" from Riddick's eyes were essentially saying "Wanna Bet?" 🤣 Cheers To The CVV Community 👋

[@Shaun_3114]

I've also been binging old NXT. I can vouch for Moss. Emma's stuff, even in early NXT is quality.

[@StevenSeril]

Love these two! More Tenille & Mike!

[@cory30mac]

A great couple interview @ChrisVanVliet - enjoyed this sit down conversation you had with these two.

[@eclectica1]

Respect to Chris for his interviewing style. I'm so inspired by this for my own creative endeavours.

[@neogaines2418]

That Deniro impression was hilarious, spot on. Bro morphed his face to Deniro 🤣

[@Shaun_3114]

Another awesome pod. Loved the couple dynamic this added. This may be fun to do with more wrestling couples. I've also subscribed to Mike & Tenille's YT channel and will check out their videos when I have time either after college tomorrow, or over the weekend.

[@bestfrankforever]

Ya just fall in love with these two. FUN impressions!!! CVV baaaabyyyyy. You're GOOD!

[@nadecha5326]

U can tell a real solid couple when they stare at each other more than the interviewer.

[@KabutungKabayo]

I have to admit, that short rivalry between Corbin & Moss vs Drew & Jeff back in late 2021 was pretty entertaining.

[@unekoslim3788]

I'm so happy for them. I loved them for their in ring work and really wished it worked out for them together. But! They get enioy and experience life another level together now.

[@brandon-wwesantibanez-ww-gq5ul]

I remember when madcap moss would always laugh 😂😅🤣😂 with baron Corbin

[@charlesrobinson7469]

I was such a fan of Tennile. In 2017, I wrote a Song about Her Journey(B side). I hope Tony Khan will make room on the Roster for these two.🤞🏾 Congratulations & Blessings on Their Lives Together.🙏🏾👍🏾

[@mattmtz9586]

more couples in this channel 2 for one doesn't sound bad, btw great interview

[@siddharthsharmaBelieve]

To be blunt, Tanille Dashwood isnt good in the ring but Madcap Moss could be great, he was explosive, powerful, can go in the ring as well as on the mic as far as we have seen.

[@HushTheMyth]

The way Mike stares at her, you can truly see that he is madly in love with her; it's beautiful. He's one lucky man, but he seems like an awesome guy. I'm going to subscribe to their KZbin channel. Great interview as always, Chris.

[@NBT131313]

Honestly, just looking at how he was booked in NXT when HHH was in charge, it did not surprise me how he was booked once HHH took over creative and that blows because Moss has a ton of potential and is a freak athlete. His outlook is inspiring though and hope for great things for them

[@dwightyboy5324]

I'd love to see him come back to WWE one day, guys got a ton of potential. Maybe he could work for TNA and really grow as a performer or something.

[@user-nu4cr1bh7m]

9:20 I recently saw the couple in Gilbert Arizona at a farmers market. I congratulated the couple on their wedding. Emma was very personable and friendly. Michael was more standoffish. I get it i am not a small man and i do not hand out best friend applications lol. Either way happy life to you both! You are better off without the politics of WWE. Welcome to to the East Valley.

[@02Raul434]

I’m actually really excited about this one.

[@StevenSeril]

That WrestleMania 30 story that Tenille told is legit gold! 😆

[@J_Benn]

Two takeaways from this is that a) Mike would make a good interviewer himself; b) Tenille excels at comedy and Emma was totally over when she first debuted, almost as much as Page. I thought the "serious" heel Emma was her idea but the fact she was willing to go back to dancing Emma when she came back (which would have gotten a bigger pop) and nobody at WWE thought of it is discouraging.

[@StevenSeril]

BucketLustTravels and Rallis Regimen are great!

[@hassanelachkar7636]

@ChrisVanVliet hey brother Chris this last month has been the best time of my life I’m almost about to announce knock on wood and cross your fingers to be in remission from my colon cancer! And this last month your bangers of interviews helped me get through it all 3yrs treatment And I’m about to pray and hope to announce after this last round of chemotherapy and radiation you are the first person I will be announcing to I am in remission because of all the support and sending the love it meant a lot to me brother thank you so much and your videos of your banger of interviews help me get through this dark three years of my life of nonstop in and out the hospital treatment after treatment hospitalization of the hospitalization. Took it one day at a time got stronger mentally physically and emotionally and most importantly never give up

[@js.3157]

It’s pretty sad the amount of fun characters that were released in the last batch. Both of them had potential that HHH seemed to not have a plan for. I’m glad it was better for them though. Every thing happens for a reason.

[@dwightyboy5324]

To me it seemed like a lot of the releases that happened weren't Triple H guys. Guys like Riddick Moss, Rick Boogs, and Elias basically did nothing in NXT but when they moved to the main roster, Vince gave them more TV time and they were doing a lot better under Vince. Once Triple H took over, they started appearing on TV less and less, and they quickly slid down. It's a shame because I thought they all had potential. Hope to see at least one of them come back in the future.

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

TENILLE DASHWOOD SO PRETTY ON CHRIS VAN VLIET PODCAST !!!

[@BillsMafiaTable]

Wished you asked about the vignettes they were doing for Emma before she was cut the 1st time. Unless you did and I missed it.

[@anthonyfromthelou3321]

I love this couple

[@paulcarpenter7844]

I had high hopes for madcap very talented

[@CountryWheels711]

I enjoyed the Madcap Moss character, come on @WWE rehire these two.

[@ArtsyAllAround]

Very weird how Triple H brought her back just to do nothing, then gets release a year later. At least she met Moss.

[@jeffroxs122]

She got released less than a year

[@adamburke4738]

Not strange at all, look at all the returns that happened. How many of them have actually been used?

[@nate29]

HHH wanted to give his NXT prospects another shot, most of them just weren't any good.

[@countyboy3988]

​@@nate29she was definitely good her work in impact was definitely decent

[@howareweparentspodcast3859]

I agree on the marriage debate. I was engaged to my wife after 5 months of dating. 4 years later were still married with 2 kids. If you know you know.

[@manuelgomez7650]

Got to see madcap moss at backlash 🤟🏻

She used to do this cooking show on KZbin. I wish she would bring that back.

Mike was a great ring worker. Hope he ends up in TNA.

[@Cornyboa]

i can tell this couple won’t last .Marriage is definitely something you wait years for and not rush into bcz your impatient 😭

[@darrenyang0323]

Your Jason Statham is so good wow 😯

[@abox6562]

Madcap moss needed someone like christ beniot or daniel bryan in terms of technical gifts to teach him well.. He has potential to do something for his career. Even emma has the talents for it.

[@AdamSylis-nh5oo]

The moment Triple h became the head of creative, I was 100% sure that Elias and Moss are getting fired. HHH never liked them in NXT.. The same goes for Rick Boogs.. ⚡

[@American_Nightmare]

Kinda funny because I don't like them as wrestlers either. Maybe it was their gimmicks.

[@dwightyboy5324]

Yeah it really seemed like Triple H never liked any of the three, which is interesting cause all three of them were rare examples of guys doing better under Vince McMahon. I really thought each of the three had potential. I hope at least one of them can come back to WWE in the future

[@agentorange1162]

What a lovely couple!

[@jeffroxs122]

Sucks that Emma didn’t make it in wwe 2k23 as dlc and in wwe 2k24 😢

[@the8ofustogether]

I hope one day they can work something out and bring them back together. @wwe make it happen.

[@Zaclatemap]

I don't know if they'd be able to do it for legal reasons. But they should've named their channel Captain and Tenille lol.

[@randycrawford1132]

Well apparently there was a thing where Vince wanted Undertaker to lose but left it up to him, and Undertaker got hurt and told Brock to pin him.

[@alifnajmi1997]

I'll admit that I'm excited when Emma returned to WWE and the time where she got paired with Riddick Moss but I realized both of them didn't worked out like it should be especially on the characters term and both of them couldn't connected with the crowd

[@dashrysea]

This, idk if he was a face or heel but pairing her with him was a doom thing for her. She came back like a tweener more so heel. And that would’ve been a great way to push her more as a singles rather than putting her in a team with her man. They should’ve put her in nxt again to dominate nxt.

[@ABIT-cb1qh]

29:30 god loook at his biceps 😮🙉💓

[@Delpherm]

Unless its in a past interview I was kind of wanting to know the story behind the Emmalina. The reason and cancellation of it.

[@bigjimbo316]

I wanted to know the same thing. I remember they we're hyping that with vignettes every week for a few months. She finally shows up and I think it was a 1 and done type thing on tv (unless she did house shows, I have no clue)...I guess she wasn't feeling that it was relatable to her...Seems to me that gimmick basically went to Eva Marie afterwards.

[@dashrysea]

She doesn’t get a credit for the divas/women’s revolution/evolution and she should’ve. And her being heel was a missed opportunity to push her especially pushing her and summer rae. Wwe really played in her face the second time way more than did the first time. The creative team really just don’t know when they have. Good thing. Since bringing her back she should’ve been on a winning streak war path and demanding her respect. She didn’t need to win the title but definitely needed more wins. And they should’ve put her in nxt and dominate there first and win the title there and then go back to the main roster and have some stability.a fued with becky would’ve put her over as an heel because of the history of the whole revolution for the women that she help start before becky. And to my knowledge she also pinned becky in a 4 way match for a title opponent that she wasn’t suppose to win. Ughh a missed opportunity. Wwe needs to hire me for the creative side for the women because i would have them in great stories.

[@dfrancis9939]

[@yussafmalik7712]

[@xSOILBORNx]

It's too bad Tenille didn't get an opportunity to work with Arianna Grace, Santino's daughter, in NXT.

[@s98247]

It's confusing why they'd release moss he has potential

[@LawandOrder-fi5xk]

They should go to AEW or TNA.

[@11sdownie]

Loved Moss. Shame that Hunter didn’t see his potential. One of his few mistakes.

[@L.m.CeeTee]

HR should really reconsider firing couples. It looks really bad from a PR Perspective. When it happened to Kieth Lee/Mia Yim and Morrison/Taya during the Vince era it was a big online backlash. This regime clearly hasn’t learned from past mistakes.

[@heyitstrey7744]

I think Tenille should return to wwe as Tenille Dashwood in the future. The Emma name has kinda pidgeon-holed her.

[@ABIT-cb1qh]

emma is been adjusting her costume, must have choosed any another one.

[@SadisticPS5]

They did her dirty on her latest run…Like she was given no time on tv…only good thing was her return match against Ronda and then they did nothing with her for some reason

[@AeriusGeordieJames]

Was gutted they brought Emma back so many times and didnt even utilize her to her fullest potential could have even explored the makeshift tag dynamic around Nikki cross, got that spot in her hometown in Perth Australia, answered an open challenge to Rhea or even went back to NXT for a bit, the creative options could have been endless yet THEY choose to do nothing with Emma from the moment they brought her back, I just hope for Emma’s sake she chooses not to go back to a place that dosent appreceited her talent or value same with her college, Dana Brooke and clearly the next TNA knocks outs champ in line, just see how they are already burying Naomi since bringing her back on the roster. wwe sucks sometimes, a fan of the product but just purely sucks for the mid card women..

[@FardinArnob]

I hope they get signed in tna wrestling.

[@CeemPlay]

Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel

[@thomasharris299]

I will break tht relationship

[@x_XW4LKERX_x]

Tenille was so underated in wwe... i feel she could of been one of the top stars. But wwe dropped the ball with her twice.

[@acetopicviews4391]

Gunther is boring as heck. Crowd seems so bored with his matches. If you pay attention, the crowd gets into it when his opponents are doin there awesome athletic moves. Honestly, I'd rather see this guy as that champ. But if he plays himself, funny with these impersonations.
