Should just be a one off, no one wants to see death matches every week assuming that’s all he does.

It'd be a Jimmy Havok situation if he signed. They'd save the hardcore matches for bigger deals. And as said in the thread before Havok's shit got revealed in the SpeakingOut movement he was getting a real solid push in AEW.

I am intrigued by how much violence Gage and Jericho can get away with on a TNT televised match. It is like watching an Italian cannibal or zombie movie on cable TV. While you know the most obscene stuff will be cut you still wonder how far they'll be able to push the envelope with the censors breathing down their neck.

I think last week sets a steep precedent, because we saw them bring out the fork in that match.

He isn’t the typical indie death match guy, where it’s just smash this and that. He builds to the use of weapons, brings wrestling psychology into it.

I was legit surprised at how crazy Rosa/Britt got, I wouldn't be surprised to see this get at least a little ugly

So given Jericho can't have anyone interfere on his behalf...
...anyone else rooting for mega heel Cardona to run in and cost Gage the match? Or even RSP.

Narratively it'd make more sense for RSP to do it because Cardona's already got what he wants, but Cardona's the more recognizable face. I think the most likely option is Gage losing a hard fought match to Jericho somehow, which I don't think helps him much in his first national TV match, but that feels like where the booking is going.

Yeah I understand this angle is a series of matches for Jericho to win but it really won't sit well with me for him to win this one clean even if it is hard fought.

Yeah, either somebody's coming out to screw with Gage, or there's some sort of Pinnacle/Inner Circle schmoz that leads to Gage getting distracted and Jericho winning. I suppose they could also have Gage go "too far" and get DQ'ed, but that doesn't make Jericho look good either.

If it’s a one off, I don’t mind if Nick Gage loses clean as long as he looks good. Eddie Kingston was supposed to be a one off and he lost clean to Cody. But he was eventually signed and that loss didn’t hurt Eddie at all.
I guess it all depends if he’s truly a one off match or not. Though the idea of Cardona coming in to interfere would be a cool idea.

And as said in the thread before Havok's shit got revealed in the SpeakingOut movement he was getting a real solid push in AEW. That dude sucked. That was more or less my point earlier in the thread. Havoc is, in a lot of ways, a dollar store Nick Gage by reputation, and he was used as well as humanly possible during his run with AEW, I thought. If they found a spot for "random death match guy" Jimmy Havoc, I have absolutely no doubt they could find something for "king of the deathmatch and notable underground cult figure" Nick Gage. AEW is very good at playing to wrestlers' strengths. I think they could integrate even Nick Gage into the roster.

My immediate thought was Cardona appears but I forgot the the no interference stip. That's what I was thinking too, Cardona or Mox, but then remembered the no interference. Cardona can still come out and not get physical involved but just coming out could distract Gage enough for Jericho to get a roll up maybe
