Matt Cardona Says He Doesn’t Want to be a Big Fish in a Small Pond

– During a recent interview with Walkway to Fight Club, wrestler Matt Cardona spoke on not receiving any offers from AEW vs. WWE and not wanting to be a big fish in a small pond. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Matt Cardona on not receiving offers from AEW or WWE: “I don’t like being this big fish in a small pond. If WWE or AEW called and there was a good offer with some intent to use me a certain way, of course, I’d have that conversation. But I’m not gonna BS it, I haven’t gotten an offer from either of those two companies.”

On not receiving an offer from AEW after his match with Adam Copeland: “‘Holy s***’ chants on my entrance, it made me think, ‘Oh my god, everything that I’ve been doing these past few years are working,'” he said. “A, awesome, kickass match. B, great response from the fans. C, social numbers were up. I thought I’m definitely getting a call. I’ll get an offer. Phone never rang. … at the time I was devastated.'”

On how the Edgeheads team was inspired by HBO’s Entourage: “Being one of the Edgeheads … it was our pitch. At the time there was this show on TV called ‘Entourage’ and we thought that Edge could be the [main character] Vinnie Chase and we could be his entourage.”

On Edge seeing their potential: “At the time, we had just been called up to the main roster. He didn’t need [us] but he was smart enough to realize ‘I can use these guys to take all my bumps. It can add so much to my character. It’s a way to steal the title instead of winning it.'”
