Matt Cardona Discusses Nick Gage Beef

After tons of back-and-forth on Twitter, Matt Cardona put his money where his mouth is when he arrived to GCW, and laid out Nick Gage.

Now, the deathmatch legend wants Cardona, and many have written off the former Zack Ryder’s chances. But Cardona has said not to write him off, and took to Busted Open Radio to discuss his beef with Gage:

"I don't know how it started on social media,” said Cardona “A fan tweet something and I responded. It got kind of personal and I was like, 'Dude, I don't want to do this deathmatch stuff.' That's not my style at all. He kept calling me out and calling me out. They even promoted me for one of their shows when clearly I had a booking somewhere else. The whole crowd was chanting [F*** You Ryder]. At one point, I have to stand up for myself. I have to be a man and shut him up.

“Deathmatch wrestling, I respect the hell out of it. It's not for me or my style, but when I dropped him with the DDT, I sliced my elbow on the glass. I'm doing the offensive move. There's no doubt that it's dangerous and real. I was walking to the back wondering where the blood was coming from, and it was coming from me. Am I crazy for getting involved? Probably. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid, but I've been through worse than a deathmatch with Nick Gage. He says he's been locked up, I was locked up in WWE for over a decade. I beat cancer twice. I'm certainly sure I can survive Nick Gage.”
