Guys a master worker. His inflections are so consistent he never puts on the wrestler voice so it’s hard to distinguish between work and shoot

[@thatboybear]

It’s kinda like Eddie Kingston and Paul Heyman. They play it so normal that it sounds natural so you never know just when they’re working or shooting.

[@alaooooy7]

Christian Cage is just too good at what he does!

[@RKBTIGERISCOOL]

Oh no I was at my father's funeral and I saw christian cage come out of nowhere with a mic in his hand I am cooked 💀

[@newwavesuperman]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Goujeton199]

Christian Cage is basically the true Christian. None of this Edge's sidekick, underhanded booked utility guy or I get fired BS.

[@horsekfobster7823]

Why do you think Christian was a sidekick? Why did WWE book him that way? Because the real Christian is cringe and can only succeed in a second fiddle company full of nerds

Christian still jobbed to Edge though and lost his AEW TNT Championship. Christian can talk all the fluff he wants but Christian WWE is leagues better than "Christian Cage". When Tony Khan let's Christian win the AEW World title and actually allows Christian to beat Edge CLEAN, then he can have the same speech he just tried to give Chris Van Vliet

Christian and Christian Cage might be different characters, but Jay excels at playing both.

[@ADAMdinho1]

It's funny because although known by his middle name, Jey... his name is actually William, so he's also that good that he's working us in real life, too 😂

[@redrick8900]

It's funny becuase heel Christian Cage and face Christian Cage are completely different characters.

[@LucedOfficial]

I got this kinda feeling when I was a kid. When I started watching wrestling around like WM 22/23, I didn't know about Christian in WWE. I only knew about Christian Cage in TNA and when he came back to WWE in like 2008/09, I was like this doesn't even feel like the same guy in TNA.

[@HawaiiFoodAndFun]

Both are great fathers

[@LuisRdzG10]

AEW was so much needed in the wrestling business. Thank God for that promotion.

[@alaooooy7]

I don't care what anyone says about age or whatever. Christian Cage is still one of the very best in the world today and he must get a run at the very top in AEW! He's a true master of the game. His demeanor, his cadence in a promo and the way he controls the crowd, how he makes everything in a match mean something and how unbelievably professional he is to put so much effort into what he does despite already being one of wrestling's legends! He deserves much more credit than what he gets and I truly hope to see him have an iconic AEW World Championship run!

[@Jblizzybaby]

Christian Cage outworked Christian

If I were a movie producer I would cast Christian in the lead role of a remake of the horror classic “the stepfather”

[@GibboHibboWibbo]

Great answer.

[@alaooooy7]

Christian Cage is still one of the absolute best in the game! I hope he keeps going for many more years and wins many more Titles including the AEW World Championship. This living legend deserves the very best!

[@sflvideos3878]

I hope he wins the AEW title honestly.

[@SKYRIDER619]

As a kid I realized WWE was failing this man when they didn’t let him retain and be the Last ECW champion

[@Nreeko16]

So it should've been Christian Uncaged.

[@RomaroBrandon]

Christian is a former World Heavyweight Champion, Christian Cage could have been WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Universal Champion.

[@christophermorales2445]

One more match!😅

[@RockApe_]

I always pictured his run like this in WWE if he didn’t leave in 2005 and everything was ideal booking wise If he couldn’t win the WWE title by defeating Cena at Summerslam or a Unforgiven then he should have won the money in the bank at Wrestlemania 22. RVD still could have challenged Cena at one night stand and Christian could cash in mid match and steal the title

[@philiphanan1493]

But is AEW Christian Cage better than TNA Christian Cage?

[@RockApe_]

Booking wise no. Christian was a consistent main eventer in TNA

[@joeygula581]

I was always a big fan of the wrestlers people didn't really understand that we're good like when I was a kid I was a big Christian fan people always used to say that he's not as good as edge however I disagree I think Christians should have been the biggest star in the business

[@Ronarch2671]

Well put. I've said similar things about Bryan Danielson and Daniel Bryan. BD is way better than DB.

[@maxsteelflex]

Christian is Christian and Christian Cage is his father.

[@Jazzman2476]

Top 50 wrestler all time

[@awakenedbyyhuhassembly6015]

I agree 💯

[@nocturne311]

Christian Cage was in WWE - when you came back in 2005. You weren’t calling yourself Christian Cage, but the gimmick definitely wasn’t Christian still.

[@GBTwelveSixteen]

No, he was literally just Christian. The commentators called him Christian Cage but that's about it.

[@Ladyincalitwozeronine]

Chris, you go should on Theo Von podcast 🤔😁 Theo is a cool dude you will probably have fun nothing serious just have fun time

[@dbone3356]

Captain Charisma was the best version, though. Let's be honest.

[@perceivedvelocity9914]

I have no doubt that he has a lot of creative freedom but he's not telling the truth about politics. Backstage politics are extremely important at AEW. If you are not friends with the right people at AEW you are demoted to RoH or stuck permanently in catering.

[@ryanSLF]

Same as wwe then basically 😂😂

[@squiddwizzard8850]

He's talking about his experience, which is potentially different than a lot of AEW talent. On top of which, Vince specifically did not care for Christian. I'm sure he what he means is mostly "Vince isn't there."

[@yomamma359]

Dude be quiet, talking like you're backstage you don't know anything 🙄

[@rigsby1454]

LOL like you know anything. Only one person has had an issue backstage at AEW

[@1KQ_]

​@@yomamma359 you don't have to be backstage to know what's going on, there's guys like Jack Perry, Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia the epitome of Vanilla getting showcased over more deserving talent Like Ricky Starks, Ethan Page and other's who have the tools to be in that spot

[@RyanConnell5150]

Christian Cage isn't a 4 time world champion, 9 time tag champion, 4 time IC, etc, Triple Crown and Grand Slam champion. Christian > Christian Cage

How's everybody's father doing tonight ?

[@JasonSeville]

Multiverse confirmed

[@alaooooy7]

I will never forgive Vince McMahon for the fact that this man never won the WWE Championship. He never won a Royal Rumble, King of the Ring or even a Money in the Bank despite being in many of those matches where he obviously was the one holding the match together. Christian deserved a huge push before TNA but Vince pushed him so low down the card that he had to leave. He then proved himself with an iconic TNA run yet when he returned Vince locked him up in ECW where he still managed to almost singlehandedly make that show worth watching. One of the most underrated wrestlers ever and one of the best wrestlers ever! The fact that he's still one of the very best in the world both in the ring and on the mic tells you all you need to know about this legend. I really hope he gets a run at the very top in AEW. He deserves to be remembered in the best way possible for all that he gave to wrestling and how he always made sure to make other wrestlers look better than ever throughout his career. Christian Cage deserves for his name to forever be cemented on the list of AEW World Champions!

[@BlagoP]

Great post. From the time they split up, I considered Christian to be the better worker, the better wrestler. I found him to be much more entertaining than Edge and to be more polished than Edge. I never really cared for Edge one way or another, but I loved Christian, and it really pissed me off when the WWE put Christian in these stupid fucking angles where he played a "wimp" character, I couldn't stand it, it was one of the reason I completely stopped watching WWE in the mid 2000s.

[@IHateYouTube-sr1wj]

Vince legitimately hated Christian, said he had a weasley rat face.

[@3Rayfire]

From the second in TNA when he opened his mouth and said, "The INSTANT CLASSIC CHRISTIAN CAGE" it was obvious he was a different animal than WWE ever let him be.

[@NeoZero85]

Christian did win the WWE championship in 2018 then the took it away as fast as he got it. Like a disrespect. Go look it up.

[@alaooooy7]

@@NeoZero85 That was the big gold World Heavyweight Championship in 2011. He was years into hid first retirement in 2018.

The only thing superior about Christian is his theme music. Just close your eyes by Story Of The Year will forever be one of the best theme songs ever. Not that much a fan of the original Waterproof Blonde version

[@BotchoBadness]

This is just ridiculous. To act like they are two s... well, we got undertaker v undertaker, so maybe we'll get Christian vs Christian Cage.

[@awakenedbyyhuhassembly6015]

Christian cage of tna 2005-09 was no pun intended instant classic

[@silverbullet9442]

I don't like this idea... because when Christian Cage showed up in AEW he's immediately over with the AEW fans BECAUSE of his past as Christian in WWE. There are differences between the two sure but to act like they're different entirelt doesn't make sense.

[@StevenR84]

They haven't the same value, he expressed himself bad and is for everybody who is, was or will be federations not WWE, even Kurt Angle said he's been longer in TNA and had better time or Drew McIntyre became World champion before somewhere else and came back different and much better, he passed from losing being pinned by El Torito to beat Brock Lesnar to win the WWE title at 34 in the main event of WrestleMania even if without crowd or Cody Rhodes more time, even Randy Orton's sidekick but became World champion before somewhere else and in WWE only 2 months ago at 38 or the worst case scenario is Bobby Lashley at 44 and stayed away from WWE 10 years. Other federations don't hold a🕯

[@JalenPrice_252]

He’s not wrong. Christian Cage became a world champion when he got to TNA and when he showed up to AEW he won the TNA title and unified it with another title. Christian Cage is a beast. Christian is a great wrestler and sports entertainment.

[@alaooooy7]

Christian Cage is the GOAT!

[@thekjkjkjkjkjkj]

Christian needs to realize there’s a new sheriff in town. He needs to come back to WWE they’ll give him more creative freedom.
