Since he was rumored/speculated for the joker of the battle royal tonight, and his stock being high after his Dark Side ep, do you think he'll ever actually show up on AEW? I could see them promoting the Mox/Gage match with him making an appearance or a one off match. Gage, your thoughts?

The thing, with the hyper criticism so intense on AEW, could they hire an ex-felon without an intense social media uproar that would derail him being a fun or good hand?

I dont know. Did anyone expect Onita? Or half the people they've signed or had appear so far? I didn't.

I mean, they’ve had Mike Tyson on and what he did was a million times worse. Even then, it’s done. They served their time. What they might be afraid of his him taking things too far.

I think Tyson got a lot of scrutiny here, but Tyson was in 1991, served his time, has done a million other shows, is generally looked at someone who rehabilitated himself. Gage is from 2010, had parole issues in 2016, and would be a wrestler rather than a celebrity appearance. Plus Gage is a bit nuts.

Maybe on Rampage or Dark but I wouldn't use him on Dynamite or especially PPV until I know he could be trusted. Maybe have the Bucks try and use him to take out Mox or King and have a match with since they can probably control him a bit better.

Gage is really a soft spoken man when not wrestling, on DSTOR he just played up his in ring persona to a million. He's a good wrestler without the weapons so I'd love to see him get a feud or one shot

I doubt, a lot of baggage and a lot of risk he just says f*** it in the middle of a hardcore match and does something stupid.
AEW's Hardcore matches tend to go to the safer side(Matt Hardy Bump being the gross exception), Nick gage doesnt do safe.

I've seen him practice stuff spot for spot during GCW shows. Again that DSOR episode played up his persona hes not the next New Jack

Again that DSOR episode played up his persona hes not the next New Jack I know it plays off,but the fact it has happened before is a risk you dont wanna take.I also could see him just being unhappy with the "tamed down" hardcore stuff ,but maybe being paid well would make up for it . I also didnt mean go completely off the script,just maybe take a spot a little too far to be more realistically.

Yeah, like, we're not talking about a Joey Styles situation where dude's told to do something and does the opposite to get himself over, Gage is a professional.
Which, I mean, is a weird thing to say about a guy whose basically spent the last month wanting to literally kill Matt Cardona but still.

This is seriously the second thread someone’s done where someone’s asked a question and I immediately looked at the topic and went “That’s stupid, why would that guy turn up?”
And then they turn up because wrestling is weird right now.

Yeah no thank you. No interest in watching this guy. If you do then good for you. I hope you enjoy his match but i just don't care for deathmatch wrestling and from what i've seen of him it's a hard pass.

My knowledge of him pretty much begins and ends at the bank robbery so I don't really have an opinion on this.

I can't quote myself. I don't think it matters TooDarkMark. The social media uproars are so often, so about everything, that they all meld together at this point.
YES HE CAN, and it was awesome. I also think in the last 3 months he's done amazing stuff to really move on from his past. I've been a huge fan of everything he's been doing in GCW.

I have a feeling that it's probably a one off but it'll help boost his stocks by getting on national TV so good for him.
