The line that Mox says about Gage always wearing a bandana over his face but the one time he doesn't, he decides to rob a bank was HILARIOUS !!!

[@lillagahnavich7700]

I died 😂 It was hilarious

[@Hammerhead547]

It wasn't quite as funny as when he said that vince would "kill to have someone like nick cage on his roster". That actually made me burst out laughing because I'm fairly certain that vinny mac would sooner trip naked coat himself in honey and then let someone pour 10.000 fire ants on him than have anything to do with a sideshow like that.

[@publiusventidiusbassus1232]

@@Hammerhead547 Moxley really thinks Gage is some hardcore, grunge Shakespearan storyteller because he can "connect with his audience". Bro, he cuts and burns himself to entertain drunken, drugged up trailer-park trash.

[@Hammerhead547]

@@publiusventidiusbassus1232 Moxley is so blinded by the past that he doesn't realize Nick Cage is the wrestling equivalent of that guitarist you see in a bar band who plays mediocre covers of other bands songs for $50 and a free meal every friday night in front of a crowd of 30 people (most of whom are ignoring them) who somehow thinks that he's the second coming of eddie van halen and believes thathis band will be the next metallica if people would just give their original material a chance.

@@facesofevildead I've been to a JCW show live. Thirty minutes of wrestling, six hours of concert. I ended up walking away.

I've also seen CZW events all the way through, but never live. Some of the guys can actually work, sometimes the shows almost look professional, and when it comes to garbage wrestling matches they usually are not the worst practitioners on the US independent circuit. One can at least expect the weapons to be in reach, the furniture already set up, so guys don't look like idiots running around for where something is hid or spend five minutes putting something together, but CZW is/was usually something I would catch because it snuck onto wrestlemania weekend, some wrestler I was interested in happened to be on some cards or a promotion I liked happened to be working with it.

There is no "workable schedule" if your whole gimmick is purposely injuring yourself repeatedly for the amusement of 20-30 degenerates. While major pro wrestling definitely has some more work to do to protect and ensure the good health of their talent, generally speaking, they don't create an environment where talent is expected to excessively injure themselves every time they enter the ring.

@@thesupremepizzaking look at all the guys who have died from the 80s-90s. They weren’t doing the flippy-dos like today. And yet, a better schedule for them to take time off and not get addicted to pain meds and worse would have ensured that some of them would be alive today.

[@thesupremepizzaking]

​@@zakunick1 The wrestlers from the 80's and 90's had to constantly do shows nonstop in multiple different territories because the pay wasn't very good when you started out back then, so of course even if they weren't overdoing it every night, it was a heavy burden. But that doesn't happen anymore because there are no more territories, so your scheduling point is wasted hindsight. And I would also point out that in the 80s-90s, a lot of the talent had massive addiction problems long before most of them got hooked on opium pills (cocaine, alcohol, steroids, etc) so trying to say lighter scheduling would have prevented them from getting hooked on pills is a pretty big stretch.

Watching that episode actually made me like Nick less. It's great that he's trying to get back on track and turn his life around after hitting rock bottom, but he just seems like a guy who didn't figure out that hardcore wrestling is booked just like any other match. He just came off as insecure that "______ is tougher than me!? I'LL SHOW HIM!" when the other guys probably just wanted to have as good a match as possible for the pay they were (or weren't) getting

[@psychobluesfxt]

[@christophercarpkey9382]

There is a documentary where David Arquette is training for this match. I watched it before the dark side came out. It's hilarious where arquette is wrestling in backyards and going to wrestling schools. And at one point he's dressed as a wizard on a horse in his backyard talking about how he wants to be taken seriously.
