Brian Cage Thinks AEW Is Great for the Business, Discusses Impact Wrestling Giving Him the Ball to Run With

WrestlingInc.com recently interviewed Impact Wrestling star Brian Cage on the website’s podcast ahead of Homecoming, and he talked about the new upcoming promotion AEW. Below are some highlights, courtesy of WrestlingInc.com.

His thoughts on what’s happening with AEW: “I think it’s great what they’re doing. I thought All In was one of the coolest moments in wrestling. AEW, New Japan, Impact, ROH, WWE… there’s so many awesome places to work right now including independents all over the world. The more places there are to work, the more opportunities for the boys…. It’s not like WWE’s boom [in the 1980s], but I think professional wrestling, as a whole, is definitely on a good upswing.”

Brian Cage on Impact Wrestling giving him the opportunity he wanted: “Unfortunately, while everyone’s singing my praises, no one has given me the opportunity… [Lucha] Underground definitely got me on the map and Impact offered me a deal and led the way. They gave me the ball and gave me an opportunity and I took it and ran with it. Hats off to them and I’m trying to live up to my end of the bargain. So far, so good. I’ve enjoyed my time there and looking forward to what this year has to bring and hopefully start it off as world champion.”

Brian Cage on Johnny Impact planning to bring his Survivor castmates to Homecoming: “He can have his Survivor buddies in the crowd. I don’t think that’s going to affect me or give him any advantage. It didn’t help him win Survivor, so why would it help him win the match?
