Chris Jericho Podcast Talk Is Jericho has been a fountain of knowledge for wrestlers over the years. Especially with ex-WWE wrestlers that have been released. Well, Matt Cardona has now appeared on the show and given us some information on why he isn’t on AEW and how his run on GCW came about and a lot more.
Matt’s experience with AEW and will he ever return?
“I loved it. It was super cool. Do I wish it was with people there? Sure, it is what it is. Everyone was super welcoming. It’s something I definitely needed. Sometimes perception is reality. When people are like, ‘Oh my God, he got so good, he got in great shape.’ If you want to believe that, sure, but I was in the same shape I was in for years. AEW, it just didn’t work out at the time. There are so many people there, and they’re just wasn’t anything for me at the time. No hard feelings, not to say I’ll never be there again, because I would love to be. There’s no doubt AEW is the place to be. It’s the talk of the wrestling business every single week. Timing is everything, and it wasn’t the right time.”
It looks like Matt Cardona may have another run in AEW in the future if the time is right.
Matt Cardona run in GCW
“I think it’s going to be the obvious one, this deathmatch with Nick Gage. The buzz aside, let’s say nobody ever saw it. It was still an adrenaline rush for me. Creatively, it was fun to interact with the people in a way that there’s no way I would be able to do in WWE or probably anywhere on TV where I’m flipping them off. It was so fun to be an a**hole. To feel the heat, and I’m sure some of it was, Let’s boo this bad guy, but some of it was I hate this motherf**ker. I loved it. I wasn’t scared of it. I would love to take this opportunity and be a bad guy because I don’t need everybody to like me. I don’t care. If you don’t like me, don’t like me. I think this time it’s such an interesting dynamic because I can be me, and be a babyface in Impact or on the indies, and then be me, the same me, and be this hated heel in GCW. It’s an interesting dynamic. I think it’s fun. Of course, there’s going to be twists and turns. I’ll evolve it and change it a little bit. I’m very creative, and I’m going to see what happens. It’s fun for me. It’s so fun.”
There was not much surprise that this was Matt Cardona’s favourite match since leaving WWE. A lot of information came out of this podcast. I would suggest listening to the full episode of Talk is Jericho. It was a good listen.
