He's talented, and should be great somewhere...
But I don't really want him to main event in AEW? I don't like him on the mic, his character, etc.
I mean, good on his wife for advocating for him, and he should probably advocate for himself as well. But I'd rather see him in Impact, NWA, hell, even the E.
Everything Ricky Starks critiqued him on is true, and he never fixed it.

I mean, I’d see her point if he’s not been a Dynamite constant in the past couple of months or so.
Like, I’m one of the people that thought he’d get a TV world title shot at the very least to set up the feud with Team Tazz but what he’s doing right now isn’t the worst thing in the world.

I'm not going to rag on her, of course she sees the best in him. He's been such a fixture of TV for most of his run that I don't mind him getting a breather.

Ah the old Hardcore Holly mentality of "I want the title and beat up everyone".

Sometimes the spouses of wrestlers do more harm than good when they do stuff like this

I apologize but here I go being a broken record again....Cage has ALWAYS been missing something that he had in LU hell it applies to alot of them but he stands out in this regard.
Whether it be that the eiviroment suited him better , or his woman announcing him from the ..559 it is just the small things that make a such a difference with someone like him.
He does not stand out in AEW...not when you got guys like Hobbs , Wardlow and some extent Hager and Archer.
IMO he fits better in a company with a much stronger focus on characters IMO.

I like Cage but he's not a main event guy in my eyes, especially with the talent they have now. I think he's been used well and done great in his role. He's been showcased in a battle royal, challenged for the world title, had a main event match with Darby, fought Sting in his first match back, beat Hangman and had a feud with him, had a feud with Starks/Hobbs. Like with the amount of talent they have there relative to the TV time available, that's pretty damn good.

I mean it's true because Cage has settled into being a midcarder when he was brought in and can wrestle at a main event level, - but - there's no one in AEW that should be depushed in favour of Cage and it's not like WWE want him (Although if he sent a VHS to Vince he'd probably get the world title in two days flat), so it's not like there's anything better for him to be doing. Really I don't see why they felt like splitting Team Taz in the first place if Cage wasn't going to win the feud quickly and go face Miro. If he wants more shine he should ask to be sent to Impact and tear it up.

I like the guy as a wrestler, but there are much better guys than him on the roster.

Has anyone ever gotten a push because their wife or husband complained about their booking in a very public fashion?

Like, good on her for going to bat for her husband, but good God that has to be so embarrassing. It's literally the Spiderman meme with Mary Jane going around.
Cage has a great look and can go with the best of them, but there is a million better talents in the company right now. The TNT title is the ceiling I can see for him.

AEW trusted him enough to bump Sting for the first time in years.
Cage is a guy who you see him wrestle and you're like "wow why didn't I care about this guy?" and then you stop caring about him until that moment comes again. Was the same way in Impact. Being an anti-vaxxer probably doesn't do him a lot of favors either.

Brian Cage wishes he had half the presence and aura of Brock f***ing Lesnar.
Dude is basically a roided up generic Cruiserweight #326

It's what you get from being afraid of needles and not getting rid of those sideburns.

I know this might be a minority view, but I wonder if he would be a guy better off in WWE?

He's used just fine. And honestly everyone in Team Taz outshone him. He has zero charisma. Plus he seems like a piece of shit irl.
