Impact Wrestling‘s Brian Cage recently took part in an interview with Vulture Hound, where he spoke about several different topics regarding both his own career and professional wrestling as a whole. Cage continues to grow as a performer with each passing day, progressively gaining more fans in the process. He’s widely considered to be one of the best ‘big men’ wrestlers in the business.

On pro wrestling’s growth:
“It’s a great time to be a wrestler. I’m not sure exactly what’s the switch was but obviously, there’s been a yeast that created a huge thriving market with some independents and obviously all these other outside companies like Ring of Honor, Lucha underground, Impact Wrestling. WWE is always going to be around, but there’s just so many different outlets and type of wrestling and I feel like there are so many fans that enjoy all these different products and different venues. And the fact that we kind of slowly meshed together somewhat and working together has been an awesome attribute for everyone like Impact vs. Lucha Underground event or the Jericho Cruise. We have these huge opportunities with multiple networks and pay-per-views, all at the same time. I mean it’s unreal and it’s unheard of, but it’s fantastic that it’s happening.”
On the X Division Championship:
“This title to me is what Impact Wrestling is all about. It’s what put Impact Wrestling on the map and what started it and its original incarnation. That’s really what separated itself from any other title or any other company. To me, this was the main goal and the title I wanted to go for out of the gate. People would ask me about the idea of ever going to Impact Wrestling long before I was here. I always said I’d love to just be part of the X-Division. The X-Division has always been about “no limits” rather than “weight limits”. And funny enough, Matt Sydal happened to be the champion when I came here and that was actually one of the top people I wanted to work. With never having never worked with him before and him being a phenomenal athlete in his own right, so the fact I got to work with Sydal and claim the title with a win-win for me.”
On being a ‘big man’ luchador:
”Lucha Underground, as far as working on television, obviously helps bring you that aspect because you work off as many indy shows, you want as much experience you want for, working TV is a little different than working a normal house show. That helps a lot with just timing the structure of your matches and the cameras and the what-have-you. There is room for improvement for everybody always in some regard. But I definitely would like to bring more out and my character and in my overall appearance.”
