Talk Is Jericho: AEW’s Christian Cage vs Frankie Kazarian
Ойын-сауық
Listen to the full podcast at talkisjericho.com
Christian Cage is All Elite! And what a surprise it proved to be, not just for fans, but for Christian himself. The newest AEW superstar talks about his AEW debut at the Revolution PPV and what both Jon Moxley and Tony Khan said to convince him to sign. He details his journey back to the ring, including the extensive medical tests and the strict fitness and nutrition regimen he started long before AEW was even an idea. He shares the story of his surprise appearance at this year’s Royal Rumble, his moment in the ring with former tag partner Edge, and why that didn’t lead to a longer-term deal with WWE. He also talks about his first true match back after being away from wrestling for 7 years and why Frankie Kazarian was the perfect opponent. He explains why “Out Work Everyone” is more than just a clever catchphrase and what he hopes to accomplish in the final chapter of his in-ring career. Plus, Christian and Jericho remember some of their many collaborations and matches in WWE.

This is why I don't mind a legend wrestler like Christian wrestles.... They sweat, blood, and tears for this business, and for all the moments he gave us... He deserves to be back,... some fans are never going to be happy, but we should appreciate what Christians loves to do....

Christian debut in AEW was solid and making the show great. He did better than expected and his match always mean something.
Christian and Y2J are one of the most underrated tag teams ever!!!

Jericho said it best, the variety of styles is why I love AEW so much. Personally thought the Christian match was a great, and perhaps better when you add a 7 year layoff. It was storytelling at its finest, without the modern dives and high spots. Also for anyone that thought Christian was gassed, you got worked. The story they told was fantastic.
No dive spots. Hell yeah, christian style is different to any wrestlers style. That makes him unique and we need unique style to be more entertain to watch. I love high flying spots but uniqueness is better in business to succeed

That was a really solid debut.
The two guys that hated back in 2002-2003 because they were so good as heels. It is so cool to see that almost 20 years later and they are still wrestling. 😃
anyone else think after watching the match didn’t believe that Cage was retired for nearly a decade but like 2 months lmao? Even just at the Royal Rumble he looked like he returned from like a 2 month injury
Still waiting for Chris Jericho and Christian Cage teaming up for once in AEW
Always loved Christian. Always thought he was a great heel or IC champ. Was happy when he became a main eventer in TNA and sadly knew he was gunna be mistreated when he went back to WWE. Still he became WHC. Now he’s in AEW doing his think. Keep going Captain Charisma!
just watched the match, then listened to this and its exactly what I thought/wanted - no matter who wins, the WRESTLING matters, cracking match and great to see you wrestle again Christian!
So happy to hear, see & get Christian back to wrestling! Thank you Tony Khan, Jon Moxley & Christian for signing with AEW. "Pick his brain!" Such a wealth of info, knowledge & experience. Yay!
That's a great match really awesome to watch and love that Christian still got it😎
I agree with Jericho in that this did feel like watching a match from a decade ago, but in a good way, much slower, more deliberate pace, it felt like a story was unfolding. The match had 1 week of buildup, and it felt like it told more of a story than any other match on the show that night. It wasn't perfect, and I think Christian alluded to that, later in the match you could tell he hasn't got his full stamina back, but that comes with time, which means he's only gonna get better. I really hope he sticks with this style, and helps some guys tell some stories in the ring. Kazarian was the perfect opponent for that first match back, because he worked in that era and knows that style and pace.
One of two future Hall of Famers I could have seen going to AEW. Glad it was him because he can bring a lot to the table.

I won’t be surprised in a few years lots of the young talent will credit Christian with helping them understand the fundamentals of pro wrestling. It seems so simple but it means so much in the long run.
Awesome job Chris
I hope Christian gets a chance to have a singles match with Miro.
This pops up on KZread as im watching Christian cage vs. Abyss from years ago in tna on pluto tv🤣
Also he right frankie was extreamy underused, in the tna days. But grate match for them two.
Chris Jericho & Christian were two of the top pillars of Ruthless Aggression Era . Same with Edge
God, Christian seems like the most likable guy in the world. It's why he always works so well as a face for me- he's like Kofi, someone you genuinely want to see do well. ...and now I want to see FTR beat him up.
AEW has high spot guys like Guevara and Darby, but a lot of guys are having great matches stretching people out. Hook isn’t someone who uses high spots. I don’t see too many high spots used by the new BCC either. As for Kazarian I watch him on Dark. Sometimes I get the feeling they don’t know what to do with him. I actually wouldn’t mind seeing Hook lose a match to Kazarian where he learns something from Frank before beating him in a rubber or rematch. Christian could serve the same role. I have a sneaky suspicion that in Kayfabe, Team Tazz is about to break up. Send Hook on a hero’s journey and put guys like Kazarian and Christian in his way. Hey!
I just want Christian to reference Paul Smackage and through the old "oh brother brother into a promo"
Love Christian.
It was a great match
Great Match. Even Tho Kazarian, isn't Nice to his Fans.
Your turn edge, weekly show off between the two on different shows, yes please. Unbelievable wrestling.
Christian vs Kaz was one of the best matches AEW's produced. I hope the new talent learn from this experienced guys the art of storytelling because the multiple dives and high spots would come stale at some point.
WWE Hall of Fame class ChristianChrisJericho
A lockup has been replaced with a guy doing a 450 in to someone at the start. It's nice seeing some old school wrestling matches mixed in on the show. That's the main reason i love aew. I had to stop watching wwe because they were taking guys i loved on the indies and other promotions and making them wrestle a wwe style and it just made everyone feel the same. I just couldn't watch it anymore and haven't for over 3 years now. I had just stopped watching wrestling all together. When aew came out i decided to give it a chance and even though i don't love everything i do like enough that i don't miss a show.
That match was great it wasnt too slow wasnt too fast.
In all honesty, with Christian's age and seven years away, I was ready to cringe for this match, but letting them go darn near twenty minutes was incredible. Hats off to both men for an awesome opening match. Curtain jerk match, who? LOL

I am not a fan of those dives. It looks too scripted having a guy stand there ,sees his opponent going for the dive and just stand there. It's like you literally have 4 seconds to get out the way ,but you just stand there and allow him to jump on you. That match with Christian was amazing.

Christian is too good on the mic and in the ring. It shows how unfair wrestling is when Jericho wins both the WWE and AEW belt and Christian who's a way better wrestler didn't get a minute with either!
First in the comments orayt! Much love for Y2J
So chris how was your week ?
Vince should have signed Christian.
See black cats online Christian and go to find the truth.
Only if jericho can lose that gut and work like christian Jericho now often looks out of gas, lately. And it's coming from Jericho's biggest fan.
