I love when hit gage with the light tube and winced. He was making it obvious he doesn't belong there which added to his heat and the match itself. Nice little touch

Not a fan of death matches, I can really only watch them once in a blue moon, but I got a ton of respect for the people who put themselves through this shit just to put on a show.

Well, because first he is a Heel and never related to deathmatches at all is more into the atletic style, Gage in GCW is a hero they love him for his deathmatches more from his ring skill. and you know GCW wil never want a WWE superstar wins over his hero so thats it. Personally i dont like how the crowd reacts (throwing garbage) i know your mad because his the heel but is not necessary to do that

And then when you're all cut up, see what one light tube busted over all that feels like, let alone 20 of them, and tell me how you feel after it all!! But you must be a regular Sherlock Holmes because you actually cracked the case on the biggest secret of pro wrestling....
