Cardona is the perfect heel in GCW. Matt Cardona really is the perfect heel for GCW as the sports entertainer from WWE turned deathmatch guy beating the guy, Nick Gage for the GCW World Championship and collects action figures as a hobby.

I hope that he was consistent when it happened after one of the greatest turns in wrestling history at a certain WCW PPV. But I doubt it What about Onita's entrance to his match against Masahiro Chono in the Tokyo Dome? Probably gave the fans aiming ability 5 stars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would suck to get hit by one of those. Yeah, but, free beer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Maybe I'm wrong, but I think if Lauderdale said no more throwing stuff in the ring, pretty much all GCW fans would stop. Like, Cardona had to walk THROUGH the crowd to leave, and nothing bad happened. Those fans know where the line is. They're right up on the line, but they know not to cross it. Having said that, they announced Smart Mark Sterling will be addressing the crowd on behalf of Cardona at today's show, and I'm actually kind of worried for him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Reading is your friend. Meltzer widely condemned both the Onita and Hogan incidents of garbage and shit being thrown. Always consistently seen it as an embarrassment. That said, absolute wild match and scene last night. Good on Cardonna for going outside the box and immediately he feels hotter then has has been in years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) I wouldn’t mind this Matt Cardona in AEW after last night. Come in on Wednesday to mock people like Gage, Moxley, and Kingston while carrying the top hardcore wrestler prize on the indies.

I think it would be a good way for Jericho to get past Gage if Cardona ran a distraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerva Posted July 25, 2021 Author Share Posted July 25, 2021 The Meltzer stuff so far in the 2nd night of Homecoming show has really not helped their argument. Kevin Gill who has to be one of the worst in the indies can't stop talking about him to the point even Prazak is getting bothered by it. And yes they are selling a shirt with the Meltzer tweet and a picture of Cardona getting hit with a cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardona tweeted proof that somebody threw a pizza cutter in. I'm fine with everything else but if that hit the wrong way that would have been bad times for him.

Starts at 2:20 I was thinking about this earlier today when I was bored out of my skull sanding a floor - This was the EXACT thing Cardona needed for his career to bust him out of whatever fucked up mindset WWE put him in for however many years. I'm not saying he's going to make a run in AEW or WWE or, uh, make Impact more of a thing to watch right away, but in time my hope is that he's a transformed dude and you can look back to this moment and see where that change started. I've always liked the guy and thought the was super charismatic, but he was definitely stuck in that milquetoast WWE mold. I hope this breaks him out of it. And yeah, not great someone threw in a pizza cutter, but pizza cutters are pretty dull. If it was one of those heavy duty ones with a big, weighted handle, like a nice Kitchenaid one or something, then I would worry more about getting hit with a heavy object than it cutting him on impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Great weekend for GCW and they announced wargames for Chicago, September 4th. MDK (well, second gear crew and Gage) vs. 44.OH. The commentary sucks hard though, for sure. Everything is so sanitized these days. It's cool to see stuff get a little out of hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneWolf&Subs Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 That Ruckus Vs. Tankman match… Very bowling shoe ugly. Crowd is kind during this. I’ll give them that. Shows how an older guy that doesn’t really have it anymore in Scorpio hide his deficiencies. While Ruckus doesn’t, and barrels through like it’s 2005. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Forget adding velcro. The real way to be a heel to that crowd to the point where someone is going to shiv you is to make it a spinner belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoBaltimore Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 So thanks to @AxBfor posting the ringside video of the Cardona/Gage match in the blood thread. I don't normally check out deathmatches or even recall seeing a full one with Gage in it. For one while I always respected Cardona but to let himself take all that is pretty insane for somebody that was in WWE for so long. For another I think because it was Cardona it led to them milking the spots more to maximize audience engagement. It had that big-time feel to it and to see them flip out when he won is pretty incredible. I'm also really glad he won as that's going to extend the feud for at least a couple months. So while they may have used Gage's main weapons I have a feeling the blowoff's going to be even more insane than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagan Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Smart Mark Sterling did a really good heel promo in Night 2 and the MDK vs Ohio guys is gonna be one of the hotter indie matches of the year. Gage has a big next bit ahead of him between ther Jericho match tomorrow, this War Games, the inevitable rematch with Cardonna and presumably the Moxley match in GCW is still on the table. I've watched more GCW in the last few months than I ever have by coming in and parachuting in for the main events and angles. I like it when it tries to be ECW. I don't like when it feels like I'm watching XPW, if that makes sense. There's a thin line there. And, as noted, the commentary has got to change. I can't deal with a commentator screaming fuck and bitches at me while I'm trying to watch a wrestling match. That shit is so oft-putting and alienating. Like let the wrestlers curse up a storm but Gill just screaming about how Cardonna is a little fucking pussy for twenty minutes takes the attention off the match and towards the commentary. It's horrendous. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
