The fact Jim called them “Marks” & then so did Christian was perfect 😂
Christian Cage absolutely BURIED Alvarez at the Media Scrum 😂😂😂
'i use to wrestle back in the day' the guy literally wrestled matches up to like 2 years ago 😂 he had Alvarez on the ropes
Probably scripted
"Great, I love talking to marks."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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
Greatest comment section in any RUclips 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. 😅
@@acehole4788 He was a massive breath of fresh air after 4 years of Jarrett dominance.
Christian really has brought the value of the tnt title back up from how far it had fallen down the card
He made it from it being the 24/7 Championship to actually being a good mid card title that can run a main event.
Watching him make alvarez look like a complete tool is worthy of a HOF induction
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.
Nah his heel run in TNA was his best stuff. Very overlooked and underrated part of his career.
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.
@@thehorrorhound6575he got me into tna more when Kurt was there, during Christians heel run with tomko was some of his best work in all company’s.
@@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.
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.
Him going off on Alvarez is a top five moment for me in AEW 😭
Three sarcastic remarks in kayfabe is "going off on somebody" now?
In the case of the soft heads in AEW, telling them no makes them fear for their lives.
Sméagol will be whining behind the paywall about this.
12:09 Did Brian really just say that? Every champion regardless of what championship it is needs to act like their title is the most important in the company. I thought that was common sense
Right?
Yes and no. There are levels to it still.
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.
Brian was watching all the Japanese wrestling tapes back then...
Yea barely anybody has because nobody was watching tna
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.
@@bcal8118 TNA back in the day had more ratings than WWE does now
I'll watch a 2006 TNA ppv over current AEW 😂
I hope Jim reviews the Cody and Jey media scrum where they were drunk. It was hilarious
I AM??
They are under influence, but I don't think they are drunk.
Jey uso definitely had a few Refreshments he was having the best time lool
@@theboxingboy7422probably drove afterwards too😂
@@Cambergainnah that's the other brother
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.
Watch his TNA run. That's the best stuff in his career.
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.
The way he dogs on EVERYONE, whether they be AEW small guys or Wwe vet he hits it on the head😂
Nah His TNA run was waaaay better...miles and Miles away from his iconic TNA run ...he had way better matches and he was younger then.
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 as a heel has been so hilarious, I don't know if it's on purpose or what
It’s 100% on purpose, his comedic timing is too good
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.
That voice is creepy as hell,
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.
Thank you😂
Bruh I swear Jericho just started saying shit to sound profound 😂
Tony's facial expressions at these scrums are always priceless. Christian is one of the best heels at the moment.
He is a bizarre fella. That's for sure
He always has been, this is his best work, he will outshine Copeland
Absolutely love what Christian is doing- he put Alvarez in a little box wrapped it up and sent it back to Uncle Dave! 😂
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.
Christian told the truth about Bryan Alvarez.
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!
@@MrStonecold71found the gymnastics mark
@@MrStonecold71chill out with the paragraphs brutha
@@MrStonecold71nobody's reading all that
@MrStonecold71 your comment is bad and you should feel bad
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.
In terms of size nick Wayne makes Dominik Mysterio look like 2002 triple H
Dominik is 5 inches taller than Nick, too
@@thelastmotelAnd still has more lean muscle definition than Dom. He's also 18. Name me some burly 18 year old pro wrestlers.
@@Undivided_Xrenne dupri
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.
Christian has always been better than Edge. Forever the most undercooked, under appreciated instant classic who deserves his flowers
*underlooked🤣😂
Well, he does like to go in raw on other wrestlers@@phenomenalclassic93
Better than Edge😂😂😂
@@phenomenalclassic93 Let him cook
Captain Charisma was way more over than Edge at that time in 2005
Christian should have said, “Hey Tony, you owe me for helping take the ring down.”
Christian is a better heel than MJF ever was
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.
MJF is just auditioning for WWE at this point.
Christian is the best thing in AEW currently. Absolute genius.
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.
Christian’s facial expressions were priceless
I wouldve asked if he missed Tyson Tomco
Or A.J. Styles.😏B.W.
This was more entertaining than everything on the PPV
Naw the ppv was good but this was good shit like Vince says 🔥
@@justinmichaels7856ppv was dogshit
Seems like Christian is having fun and it shows in his performances
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.
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.
😂 yeah he starts twitching
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.
Agreed I dont know why Tony needs to be out there except for at the end.
Christian Cage buried Alvarez! LOL!! What a STUPID question to ask . "Have you ever seen Nick Wayne wrestle?" REALLY?
Was such a stupid question like yeah ofc Christian was always there with the other 40 people at the rec center watching Wayne wrestle before aew lmao
Cornette’s question off the top of his head about Darby was better than a room full of smart marks could come up with in ten minutes.
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.
@@lordpardus7348Tony tried to hire Corny but he saw the mess it's become from a mile away.
And there is a lot more that Corny could say. But, TK had him sign an NDA
@@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.
IMO Christian was always more entertaining than Edge on the Mic and ESPECIALLY in ring.
Exactly. Your opinion.
Edge was always Overrated
@@kingslayer2999No
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.
Christian's the only ex-WWE guy that's doing some of his best work in AEW. Literally can't say that about any other ex-WWE wrestler there.
It's still very early in the day, but Swerve seems like he's pretty over as well. But ofc there are levels and Swerve wasn't in WWE very long.
Jericho started off strong but about six months in it all fell off
@@user-mu2mp8ll6c 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
Swerve is definitely up there and adding value to his name
Danielson is having some bangers, chain wrestling that would have been suppressed in the E for being too technical.
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.
Nobody watched tna dude
@@bcal8118 I did
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."
Flywheel
Christian Cage is the best in the entire business
Love Christian Cage in AEW
Christain in my book has been underrated for a long time
Agreed
Fuck. What’s Brian’s issue? Christian Cage is in character. What’s so hard to understand? Why is it a bad thing? He’s working.
This run, reboot ECW, TNA, and the 700 haircut Christian in WWE are as good, IMO as anything Edge has done. And I like Edge.
Christian was gold during this loved it
It appears Christian is finally unleashing his veteran heel"CLB" persona expertise and he cannot be stopped!
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.
I'm a huge fan of both
After edge shows up nobody has a single question. That’s crazy! 😮
That's because they're marks and not journalists
Christian watching the tribute at the beginning of the show just because there was a family who lost a father figure is the funniest shit ever
11:55 Yep! Christian is working and everyone in that room walking on eggshells
I can get past the part where he says hes friend with a dinosaur
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.
Christian and mjf need to have a promo battle, just for the sake of the angle, the insults would be worth a pay per view
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!!!
Waited for this all week
Reminds me of seinfeld being dark and disturbed 😂
Most can't be in character because they don't have one. Here comes flippy weird name man.
I saw the clip and I laughed so hard when he buried Alvarez
This is one of the best story lines in AEW today by far!
Also, Tony needs to stop appearing on camera completely. Just be the money mark behind the scenes.
lmao ROFL at the artwork bravo travis
Working or not it was a lot of fun and Christian seems to be having a blast.
Totally think he hates Alvarez! Also, what a stupid question to ask!
Hey Jim should go to the media scrum...that would be gold
It says something when Edge and Christian, 2 wrestlers in their 50s (both turn 50 next month) are 2 of your best workers in the company.
2 ex WWE guys that don't wanna job to Roman
Christian is a trip lmao 🤣😂🤌
The media scrum needs to go away. It's the worst
Damn Travis went and got Nick Wayne. Look at that neck.
Ha.
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"
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.
They never flesh out storylines, and when they finally do, everyone is confused.
The Minor Leagues of professional wrestling or Sports Entertainment at its pure Finest!!!
I think Jim missed the part with Alvarez where Christian sd i hate talking to marks. I wanted to hear him on that
That was Grrrrrrrrrreat!!!
Christian is the most underrated wrestler of all time in the ring and on the mic IMO.
He is tremendous
Christian is one of a few people carrying AEW Right Now
Alvarez definitely cried on the way home
Lets hope so
I legit laughed at this comment! Someone pin this haha!!
I thought Alvarez and cage were working. Alvarez was friends with buddy Wayne and I’m sure cage knew that
The 'your father is DEAD' video is fucking hilarious.!!!
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.
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 Cage, best heel in wrestling.
Yea that's why so many people are tuning in to see him right?😂😂
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.
"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!
Christian the next Batman with that voice
Media Scrums are embarrassing , I don’t know why they do them 😂
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.
After tonight, they should call himself Christian" SHOVEL" cage because he can bury anybody
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
Their are 600 championship belts in the AEW.
14:14 Oh my god this is too much.
We have to get a count for how many greats tony says
Christian is executing the Bockwinkel playbook, really well
I hope jim reviews jey and cody press scrum
That was hilarious, too drunk buds being friends.
Alvarez served him up the "I wrestled his father" line and Christian didn't react!
4:39 you have to play into because why are you here if you haven’t bought in
Wrestlers need to dunk on Brian Alvarez more.
THIS is how wrestlers should be, so good
Oh look professional at work, how refreshing
