Christian's work right now is pure gold. Having seen him at his peak in TNA is proof you have a top guy in the industry. I'm looking forward to more of it.
Greatest comment section in any UA-cam video. Positive. I totally agree with all the above comments. I'm glad to read people who know wrestling.... Christian Cage is the best heel in AEW. He started saying OUTwork EVERYBODY and now it's WORKED EVERYBODY. He's been solid performer but talking bout blurring lines. Thank you. F@#k you. Bye. 😅
Man, the flub pausing it right when Alvarez asked his question skipped right over Christian's initial answer and the long awkward silence that was just GOLD.
Christian is having an absolute all time run in his career and the best since his Orton feud. His facial expressions, cadence, absolute contempt, and distain in this press conference was amazing.
I don’t know why Brian last is acting like this is the “best” thing Christian has ever done in his career. He was a fantastic back stabbing shit eating heel in TNA. It was WWE that always booked him as a whiny cowardly heel.
@@thehorrorhound6575that’s what I was thinking. Brian made similar comments before in an older episode regarding Christian being a heel in AEW which makes me believe he has never watched Christians TNA run at all.
I can't believe I have to to say this, but most people avoided watching TNA as much as possible besides fiercely committed marks. *That's why their ratings were so low.*
Christian is doing the best work of his career, bringing new prestige to the TNT title, and is one of the best things about AEW right now. Even more than MJF who they've killed all his hype with bad comedy with Atom Smol. Best of all we get to hear Christian destroyed Meltzer's trained monkey. He and Adam Copeland are one of the few reasons to watch AEW, to bad the ratings are abysmal because of all the other trash on the show.
His TNA run was undoubtedly the best of his career. His heel run as the “mentor” of aj styles and making aj turn heel and his feuds with sting, abyss, Jeff Jarrett, and Kurt angle were untouchable.
Contrast this Christian appearance with one of the Jericho's scrum appearances or his podcast. Jericho telling everyone how they planned this and the ideas. (Bc he wants to feel like some kind of an artist, like jazz hands omega). While Christian shows nothing but contempt for the podcasters, now that's a pro.
Chris Jericho just loves the sound of his own voice and thinks he's the most creative person in the whole world.. he's a legend in the business but the way he drones on about how great his ideas are and how he masterminds these matches when the majority of the time now his matches are so subpar or flat out goofy matches like let's have 8 of us fight around the Arena why music plays badly over the PA system during it. Like jim said Jericho doesn't love wrestling he hates wrestling it's why he shits on wrestling's face with these matches.
Christian: The TNT title is more prestigious than the world title. Well, considering that said world title has played second fiddle for at least 2 straight PPVs for the ROH tag titles, which are defended in curtain jerkers against unknown tag teams…yeah that sounds about right.
Christian is killing it. Dude is absolutely the top heel in AEW and I can even argue pro wrestling right now. He's not the guy that's so bad he's cool and gets cheered. Nah. He's the guy that does that things that can't be cheered for. Similar to Roman last year during the Sami saga. He's a true bad guy.
You can tell Brian hasnt seen any of Christian Cages heel work in TNA with the kind of weird questions hes asking. He's acting as if this is the first time Christian has been a heel.
I loved him in TNA. I think that's where he solidified himself as a singles star. I loved him and edge with the flash photography gimmick and their silly stuff but TNA run was awesome. He was a work horse.
That's how great Christian is. He walks that fine line of is he or isn't he legitimately pissed off and all you can do is nervous laugh. I can't wait till they talk about how Christian said, "go F yourself" to Adam Copeland on Dynamite.
I love how he just stayed totally in character because it caught all the marks asking questions totally off guard. They just want the guys to come out like 'wow golly gosh what a great show tonight id like to thank my opponent' etc but Christian stayed in gimmick and had them stumbling
@@theboxingboy7422 Because it's All Friends Wrestling and everyone is supposed to be nice and silly. Having Christian come out and do this makes people proud to be a fan of his for the past ~30 years.
Yes mark just like how Terry Funk told the truth about Dusty Rhodes...just like how Jerry Lawler told the truth about Bret Hart...just like how Steve Austin told the truth about Vince.....nothing gets past you does it!
Cue the WAAAH CHRISTIAN BAD, HARD TO WORK WITH, LOCKER ROOM CANCER, WONT PLAY WITH THE FRIENDS ON THE TRAMPOLINE, LIKES PEPSI MAN bullshit from Sméagol AlvarAss on the paywall soon. I can also see that campaign extend to Edge just because he’s Christian’s friend. I can also see reading about a pair of 50 year old legends punching out a pair of religious youth group brats with spray on beards.
I think the difference is that MJF wanted/loved the hate from the fans but Christian Cage acts like he doesn't care, what it's like the ultimate heelish move...
MJF comes off and looks like a second rate Miz, manly because he's short, doesn't look as impressive, and tries too hard to get booed...he's not a natural heel like Christian is. They should switch titles if I were running aew.
christian's face gets the whole thing over with me. like brian said, it's kinda corny and funny but christian is so deadpan and doesn't break, it makes it work so well.
That description of Tony setting these these things up cause he likes the attention and feels like he's presenting his action figures to people is spot on. You can tell the dork as a kid sat in his basement pretending to be asked questions in interviews and now he gets to actually do it. And you notice he stays out there the entire time during these? Triple H comes out at the end of WWE's like he should, but Tony like a dork sits out there the entire scrum cause he as you guys said loves the attention and feels like he's showing off his collectible action figures. And yeah its incredibly cringe when he interacts with the heels and plays along with them making goofy awkward facial expressions trying to act.
I think Tony is the type of person who is more concerned about the optics than the actual content. He doesn't strike me as a truly detailed person and wants to be involved in the praise rather than the work.
Who cares what someone was as a kid? You’re a kid and as long as you aren’t a grown adult dork it doesn’t matter. Guess who else was a dork as a kid? Jim Cornette and many other famous people.
@@fatalsniper3413Tony's still a dork is the thing, a coke addicted socially awkward dork whos daddy made him rich and now he gets to collect real life versions of his action figures and play show and tell with them.
Brian: A lot of people thought that he (Christian) was putting down Alvarez. Somebody call Indiana Jones, Dora the Explorer, Nathan Drake, etc. to find the problem with this, because I see absolutely none.
One thing I always found funny about these Press Scrums is Tony's weird facial expressions when it's usually the heel who says something outlandish enough.
Cornette is a wrestling GENIUS. They need to fire all the ass klowns doing the booking and put HIM in charge. And... watch the rating soar. Case and point - FTR, they use "old school" style that Cornette loves and... they are over. Well, they were over, FTR are DONE :( one is a moron and now will be going away for a few years.
@@EazyE11 You have no idea just how utter shit matches they put on some times. SATURDAY show was so fucking horrid, I am thinking of just giving up on them. I am NOT talking about FTR, I understand, on of them is going to jail for 3+ yeares, and they are DONE. What I am talking about is that fat, jiggly noodle arm loser - Eddie Kingston. That was horrid. Jiggling of his man titties is hypnotizing. His arms look like arms of pasty skin noodle arms teen from plush super white burbs. The less said about the Acclaim - the better. Having your tooth drilled was more fun then friday show.

@@DonaldMeyers-v8c id say Moxley started off strong too but then quickly fell off after he started doing deathmatch and brought in the drug addicted bank robber
Yeah I always thought that as well but obviously edge had a look and he was bigger in size so he was the one they went with to break out and also the story of Vince not liking Christians face and wanted to start doing a thing where they put a blue dot over it when he's on screen
@@kingslayer2999 Not sure Edge was overrated, he was a big star for a good while. But yeah, Christian was always criminally underrated. He was the guy in TNA for arguably their most successful period and when they were starting to be considered a legitimate alternative.
I think Christian is following the same act Jericho did back in the day when Jericho said he actually took acting classes to add more to his character, it seems Christian has followed suit. To be honest it's PURE GOLD.
I'm not being a smart ass I just don't know, was Christian in any movies or shows like edge was when he was off? I agree with you that he's at another level be it from experience and maturity or acting experience.
You know, a couple of days ago Jim and Brian listened to an interview Tony Khan did. During that episode, they mentioned Khan's overuse of the word 'great', as well as his constant putting over of the product as the best show/program/PPV ever, and I legit can't un-hear it every time Tony Khan opens his mouth. "Thank you. You're a great wrestler with a great title. You've done great things with that title. We just put on an awesome show, one of the best in the company's history, and I'm greatly looking forward to more great things in the future."
Christian as a heel has been absolutely hilarious glad he's a heel because he works better that way especially when he was a heel in TNA in 2006 this current run is a lot better IMO.
Christian has always been criminally underrated and it's really frustrated me for about 2 decades now. Edge was always the one people cared about. He got all the attention. Edge is great, and I'm by no means taking anything away from him, but Christian is equally good if not better in some ways.
lol!!! Christian Cage is the best doing it right now!!!!! He is THE BIGGEST STAR in that company HANDS DOWN!!! He's made the TNT belt the most important belt on the AEW program. All wrestlers young and old need to sit under his learning tree like Nick Wayne. lol!!!!! I'm lovin it!!!
They need to let me write the angles for Christian, Luchasaurus, and Nick. It'd be like the darkest kids' show you ever saw. It'd be "Children of the Stones" meets "Spirit of Dark and Lonely Water" meets Mr Rogers.
"Hes better without you" ...omfg how about Nick Wayne better off being a Starbucks server Than being attached to christain bringing HIS STAR POWER DOWN!
The TNT title was an absolute joke before Christian showed up, and Tony tried hard to plant his hurdles aka Darby and Sting. Whilst Max is too busy playing friendzone with Adam and Roddy, using the belt as a bargaining chip, and getting pummelled by Bullet Club Gold; Christian has the top belt in the company. The TNT title is now worth a shyte and the feud I’m looking forward to now is Christian v Edge.
Christian is doing to the TNT championship what Macho Man was doing with the IC championship: Making it mean something. Macho cared about it as long as he had it, nevermind the World Championship, and you cared about it to. Unlike Honky Tonk Man who was only holding it hostage and using it as a bargaining chip to stay when he wasn't wanted.
You know the wrestling business has gone off the deep end when the wrestler getting the most praise at the media scrum is the only one actually doing his job. It wasn't egregious but it broke my heart to hear MJF breaking kayfabe.
Not only that, but huffing his own farts out of an empty wine glass only to start talking like Twinkletoes using a breathy phone sex voice. That doesn’t work for us JericHogan
Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali, Sam menaker and Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura and Vince McMahon all are Great Bandarin back-and-forth the English language 👌 "face and heel"
Question. Anyone else feel that AEW Director of Business Development - Jeff Jarrett or Sting should be the one hosting these AEW Media Scrums, instead of Tony Khan??? Both Jeff Jarrett and Sting are the oldest in-ring veterans at AEW.
Christian has always taken wrestling seriously. Go back and watch when he lost the WHC to Orton on Smackdown. He made me feel sad just watching him. Christian doesn't play a professional wrestler - he is one, through and through.
Nothing will ever eclispse Christian winning The Big Gold Belt by DQ in WWE and then getting his ass beaten by Randy Orton and put through a table, loaded on a stretcher and celebrating his title win while being stretchered out. Thats a heel win.
That time Orton would lose if he was disqualified, so Christian spit in his face and he kicked Christian in the nads, and then Christian was laying there in agony, but still happy that he won, clutching the title. 😂
This is a great heel CHARACTER. Not just doing annoying shit and calling it heel work, or only cheating every match like Roman. It’s a beautiful thing to see.
There was a long pause before a question was asked to a lot of people during the media scrum, but Christian did it justice by bringing it to everyone's attention.
The fact Jim called them “Marks” & then so did Christian was perfect 😂
Christian's work right now is pure gold. Having seen him at his peak in TNA is proof you have a top guy in the industry. I'm looking forward to more of it.
Finally someone that acknowledges Christian EPIC TNA run 👏👏👏
I love how he’s made the TNT belt more important than the World title in my opinion. Like RVD did with the ECW TV belt

Christian is doing to the TNT championship what Macho Man was doing with the IC championship: Making it mean something. Macho cared about it as long as he had it, nevermind the World Championship, and you cared about it to.
Unlike Honky Tonk Man who was only holding it hostage and using it as a bargaining chip to stay when he wasn't wanted.
You know the wrestling business has gone off the deep end when the wrestler getting the most praise at the media scrum is the only one actually doing his job. It wasn't egregious but it broke my heart to hear MJF breaking kayfabe.
This is how every scrum should be treated. Fuck Jericho going in and talking about how the match was put together
Not only that, but huffing his own farts out of an empty wine glass only to start talking like Twinkletoes using a breathy phone sex voice.
That doesn’t work for us JericHogan
Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali, Sam menaker and Bobby Heenan, Jesse Ventura and Vince McMahon all are Great Bandarin back-and-forth the English language 👌 "face and heel"
Hey Jim should go to the media scrum...that would be gold
The media scrum needs to go away. It's the worst
Totally think he hates Alvarez! Also, what a stupid question to ask!
They never flesh out storylines, and when they finally do, everyone is confused.
Their are 600 championship belts in the AEW.
Waited for this all week
Christian the next Batman with that voice
Question. Anyone else feel that AEW Director of Business Development - Jeff Jarrett or Sting should be the one hosting these AEW Media Scrums, instead of Tony Khan???
Both Jeff Jarrett and Sting are the oldest in-ring veterans at AEW.
Christian is the most underrated wrestler of all time in the ring and on the mic IMO.
He is tremendous
Damn Travis went and got Nick Wayne. Look at that neck.
Ha.
Christian is a trip lmao 🤣😂🤌
The silence in Christian's pauses were deafening.
Christian sounds exactly like heel MJF at the previous scrums.
Christian has always taken wrestling seriously. Go back and watch when he lost the WHC to Orton on Smackdown. He made me feel sad just watching him.
Christian doesn't play a professional wrestler - he is one, through and through.
Nothing will ever eclispse Christian winning The Big Gold Belt by DQ in WWE and then getting his ass beaten by Randy Orton and put through a table, loaded on a stretcher and celebrating his title win while being stretchered out. Thats a heel win.
That time Orton would lose if he was disqualified, so Christian spit in his face and he kicked Christian in the nads, and then Christian was laying there in agony, but still happy that he won, clutching the title. 😂
Christian is one of a few people carrying AEW Right Now
He has made that title mean something. I'm now gonna be interested in who takes it, and it better not be no orange cassidy type wrestler
Alvarez definitely cried on the way home
Lets hope so
I legit laughed at this comment! Someone pin this haha!!
If Rhea is Mami, Christian is Daddy.
Who's your Papi tho?
Christian is no one’s daddy, but he will hook up with their mom.
The 'your father is DEAD' video is fucking hilarious.!!!
I thought Alvarez and cage were working. Alvarez was friends with buddy Wayne and I’m sure cage knew that
THIS is how wrestlers should be, so good
I think Jim missed the part with Alvarez where Christian sd i hate talking to marks. I wanted to hear him on that
Christian Cage, best heel in wrestling.
Yea that's why so many people are tuning in to see him right?😂😂
I hope jim reviews jey and cody press scrum
That was hilarious, too drunk buds being friends.
Christian is executing the Bockwinkel playbook, really well
This is a great heel CHARACTER. Not just doing annoying shit and calling it heel work, or only cheating every match like Roman. It’s a beautiful thing to see.
Christian “There’s a line out that door…”
Cokie “There is??” Runs out the door to find it
Wrestlers need to dunk on Brian Alvarez more.
There was a long pause before a question was asked to a lot of people during the media scrum, but Christian did it justice by bringing it to everyone's attention.
Alvarez served him up the "I wrestled his father" line and Christian didn't react!
The Minor Leagues of professional wrestling or Sports Entertainment at its pure Finest!!!
