Caprice Coleman will step back into the ring Sunday for the NWA’s 74th Anniversary Show, where he will showcase a rare blend of an old-school mastery of the craft and a timeless charisma in his bout against Colby Corino.
Best known now for his Ring of Honor commentary, Coleman is a 27-year pro wrestling veteran. Starting as a referee, and trained by Matt and Jeff Hardy, he has evolved into an underappreciated yet vastly important piece of the industry. That will again be on display when he locks up with Corino, who is the son of longtime wrestler Steve Corino. The match will be a reminder that, when it comes to performing, he can still go.
“AEW sees me as a commentator for Ring of Honor; the NWA sees me as a wrestler,” Coleman says. “They both expect a high level from me, and that’s what I want. That’s why I put all these years into it. Some people call me the Swiss Army knife of pro wrestling. That versatility is something I earned.”
