During a recent appearance on “The Wrestling Matt” podcast, Matt Cardona recalled being “scared to death” of facing Nick Gage for the GameChanger Wrestling (GCW) World Title during ‘GCW Homecoming Weekend 2021’.
While Cardona picked up the “W” in the match and captured the title, the former Zack Ryder admits that he was terrified about being involved in the deathmatch.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On being worried about the match: “Honestly, no joke, [I was] scared to death. I thought … they might murder me in this ring [to] get buzz on this Nick Gage guy.”
On the match being a deathmatch: “I knew I had to do it, and I couldn’t just dip my toe in. This couldn’t be a street fight. This had to be a deathmatch and it was.”
