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. who was the first one?

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. I LOVE one offs. It's such a great thing. Just someone passing through the territory, an assassin, to take out a top babyface.

And here I thought Jericho narrating Nick Gage's life story on Dark Side was weird enough. Now they are wrestling in what could be as close to a deathmatch that 50 year old Chris Jericho will ever do, days after Gage breaks Matt Cardona's deathmatch cherry.

And AEW's music YouTube channel has already uploaded Gage's entrance theme

Just someone passing through the territory, an assassin, to take out a top babyface. It's also kind of poetic. Jericho did the same thing to Moxley when he brought in Jeff Cobb. Now he has to do the same to get to MJF.

Nick Gage was a shock and the crowd popped huge for him.
But given this storyline? It makes total sense for MJF to bring in Nick Gage.

I also remember an indies match where MJF brought in a bunch of cops to stop Nick Gage from doing major violence to him before their match.

That was a hell of a surprise.
Also, I hope WARHORSE gets another chance in AEW, but with a promo next time.

Yeah, a lot of people might not realize this, but MJF spent a good amount of time in the deathmatch world, working his formative years in places like CZW and later GCW, even if he's never been an actual deathmatch guy. Him being able to contact and come to an agreement with Gage actually makes sense, even though the two characters very likely despise each other.

"I hate you slightly less."

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. What was this about?

Joey Styles basically got unofficially blackballed when he did commentary for EVOLVE and made a "Grab her by the _____" joke towards a female ring announcer, despite being implicitly told no political or sexual jokes. Not only did EVOLVE kick him out the door, but Chikara and Beyond also parted ways with him over the joke.

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. He's not just a deathmatch guy or even a hardcore guy. He can do a match where it's just straight-up wrestling. Dude's even wrestled Jerry Lawler and King was fine.

So, uh, is Nick Gage vs Jerry Lawler the only match between two guys that had already died?

So, uh, is Nick Gage vs Jerry Lawler the only match between two guys that had already died? Potentially. Rikishi is also in that department. He was clinically dead for like six minutes after a heart attack if I remember right.
