Brian Cage On Why He Prefers To Work With Cruiserweights

Prior to IMPACT Wrestling’s recent United We Stand Event which took place from The Rahway Rec Center in Rahway, New Jersey, “The Machine” Brian Cage took part in a media Q&A and was asked a bunch of questions including if he would take on RVD somewhere down the line.
Cage said, “RVD’s fantastic.” “I’ve had a couple of ‘What if’ moments that I hoped maybe would happen, but never did obviously. Now it’s more of a possibility so we’ll see what happens.”
At United We Stand, Cage got to work with both The Cruiserweights as well as The Heavyweights. When asked which wrestlers he prefers working with, Cage said, “I prefer to wrestle the X-Division guys because when I started, I wasn’t this size and I wrestled the style as I built my size.” “That’s why I’m able to do stuff that most guys who look like me can’t do. I love working with larger guys that are as athletic and as mobile as me.
Cage continued with, “I would have loved to have a program for the title with Willie Mack. It would have been awesome to see this era’s ‘AJ Styles/Christopher Daniels.’”
Despite receiving a couple of title shots for The IMPACT World Title, Cage has come up short. Cage was then asked about his next opportunity. Cage said, “It’s been a long time coming. I feel like I’m sounding like a broken record wanting the rematch.” “I feel like I should be the champion….It’s time to cash in and have his ass [Johnny Impact] drop me that Impact World Championship.”
Cage is now 15 years in The Pro Wrestling business. Cage was then asked to reflect back on his proudest moments, which includes being able to wrestle his mentor, Chris Kanyon. Cage said, “Someone I wanted to emulate in the ring was Chris Kanyon…I got to work with him in my hometown in my own promotion. That’s one of my proudest moments.” Cage also mentioned that signing with WWE was another proud moment.
Cage then continued with, “I wanted to wrestle since when I was 10 and I guaranteed everyone at the age of 24 I’d be signed to WWE and I got my developmental contract shortly after I turned 24.”
Cage is known for having one of the best physiques in Pro Wrestling today and he talked about how tough it is to work out on the road. Cage said, “It fluctuates because I’m always in a different city, different area. It matters how much sleep I got, how beat up I am,” Cage said of his workouts.
Cage continued with, “I’ve got a video coming out on Saturday working out with C.T. Fletcher. He put me through this hellacious arm workout that’s over 1,900 reps. My arms are destroyed still. Not sore but destroyed – there’s severe trauma still.”
