Matt Cardona post match interview!

still not that good a promo though. looks like he was trying to copy moxley, except that moxley did it 100 times better. and he started with a john cena line. no originality at all, no wonder even aew dropped him, they did not extend his contract after his trial run. because they have guys who can perform way better in the ring and on the mic

[@maddix17]

@@kcazzzzz Moxley has no promo skill either speaking of mox it’s crazy that when wwe gave him the world title we as a community was happy but knew he wasn’t memorable in any way with the matches he gave now it’s still dean ambrose with a painted jacket now and he needs weapons or this fake Nick gage rollout to be acknowledged now

Seriously, when was the last time any wrestler got the kind of reaction Cardona got after winning the GCW World Title? And I’m not talking about fuckin’ marks posting all over the social media how mad they are lmao, I mean fuckin’ real heat, fans in the arena throwing bottles and cans. Cardona achieved what any heel aspires to achieve, not even MJF, who’s supposedly the best heel today, has never come close to generating this type of reaction

[@wrestlingwithart]

I met Cardona last month and he signed a painting I did of him at Warrior Wrestling. Great dude but I love to hate him right now. This could be the feud of 2021. There has to be a rematch.

[@nolankuffner3573]

Well, if Nick is going to do a program with AEW, it makes sense to have a guy like Matt take the belt. Once Gage is done with Jericho and MJF, you know GCW is blowing tf up.

[@suoquainen]

I can give you a precise date when the last time a wrestler became such a kind of reaction (for the GCW newbies): 08.12.2019

[@wingedhussar1453]

3 things I still can't believe about this feud: 1. This all started from a silly Twitter beef 2. Matt does a PBR sponsorship segment while still being all bloody 3. Matt happily goes to Disney Land with Chelsea after this.

It's just smart business, Gage knew the heat Cardona was going to get if he beat him for the championship, plus all this brings a lot more attention to GCW, when was the last time a wrestler got the kind of reaction Cardona got after winning the GCW Championship? Exactly.
