Nick Gage is a professional wrestler and the "King of the death match". He sits down with Chris Van Vliet at Slingshot House in Santa Monica, CA to talk about his episode Dark Side of the Ring on Vice TV, how he became interested in his ultra-violent style of wrestling, being inspired by Cactus Jack and Terry Funk, wrestling for GCW (Game Changer Wrestling), his dream opponents, going to prison for bank robbery, dying during a match and being brought back to life, almost killing actor David Arquette in a match, what scares him and much more. Nick Gage rose to fame recently when he debuted on AEW in a match against Chris Jericho and also for his match with Matt Cardona in which Cardona won the CGW Championship.

My favorite Nick Gage memory: I was at a CZW show in the late 2000's at the old ECW arena. I believe the match was the H8 Club vs The Best Around. As part of the angle, The Best Around cut a promo about how they were REAL wrestlers that didn't "do any of that hardcore shit" and that they challenged Nick Gage to do some "actual wrestling". Nick Gage shrugs and just starts breaking out chain wrestling like he's Dean Malenko or something. The hardcore CZW crowd LOSES THEIR MINDS and starts chanting "this is awesome" because no one expected Nick Gage to break out any sort of technical wrestling. It was such an awesome moment.

@mahlymuscle 3 года назад

I haven't been in years but I got to see a lot of great talent go through there: Cesaro, Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Adam Cole, Jon Moxley, Eddie Kingston... the list goes on and on. They have a rep for being just a death match company but they helped showcase a whole generation of indie talent that went on to become big names.

Hardcore wrestling is the most interesting for me to watch, even though I don't really like the ultraviolent light tube/panes of glass/gusset plate stuff. The stuff that Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka did is the most appealing to me. It's nice to see that you respect all the wrestlers from top to bottom. Sorry for my bad English!

Best interview yet Chris! I really looked forward to this, and it didn’t dissapoint. Please do another one down the road, the two of you have great, genuine chemistry!

Aw man CVV you had me shaking my head at you not knowing Okada as the guy who wrestled Kenny in their awesome series of matches

I don't know much about Nick Gage career, but much respect to him and what he does

@jims.6393 3 года назад

This is probably one of the best interviews with Gage. Very inspiring.

@flexjohnson18 3 года назад

I don't personally like death matches but his comeback story from addiction and other issues is what I take I'm rooting for for human aspect not so much the death matches

@Infernalhermit 3 года назад

Totally. It takes a lot to come back from all that suffering and he's done it even if I don't care for Death matches. Hope he finds more success for himself.

@keaton_jb_meme_central 3 года назад

Indeed. I really see how he’s trying to redeem himself for his past mistakes, he’s put his body through barbed-wire, thumbtacks, glass, pizza cutters, etc for our entertainment, he’s already been in jail so that should justify his past actions, I’m willing to forgive his past.

@KAYTRIOX 3 года назад

Didn't know who Gage was until I watched him walk out on stage on Dynamite to challenge Chris Jericho in a Deathmatch and watching this interview makes it hard for me to dislike this guy after getting to know him through this interview. Respect.

@TribalThief 3 года назад

Never heard gage like this, ever, Chris is totally a next level interview, this was quality, hopefully Nick can stay clean and out of trouble

I went back and watched old CZW matches. Most were Nick Gage and MOX. Looking forward to this.

@chinonoelmoreno 3 года назад

Nick Gage, Thumbtack Jack and Jon Moxley were always my favorites from CZW.

@@DefyantFoxV2 He did cage of death 5 they were both in the main event. They were supposed to be on the same team before new jack betrayed team ultraviolence.

i will watch it even on a video game if its possible

@ruggie.74 2 года назад

I remember when CVV had 3.9k subs or something like that. We have come a long way, haven't we, Chris? Nothing can slow you down now.

@paulgraham3902 3 года назад

Gage is one of the most genuinely supportive dudes in the business to other wrestlers. I had the luck to train with him and he's a great and very intense dude

@goat666db 3 года назад

Gage gets a lot of hate from fans who dislike deathmatches, but he really is a cool guy towards the fans. I got to meet him after COD 12, after he threw Yuko Miyamoto off the balcony at the Arena, and he took a picture with me and couldn’t have been nicer. MDK

@zachs.8970 3 года назад

I got to dap him up during his entrence at a Pro Wrestling Revolver show right before COVID hit

@InvisibleFreak23 3 года назад

Hands down, pretty much the best CVV interview so far... thank you to both of you guys!!!

@relativ6192 3 года назад

Man, what an intelligent guy. Jesus Christ. Very, very articulate. Probably one of my favorite podcasts episode from CVV ever.

@sloedwn7509 3 года назад

Chris, great interview brother. Gage is the man. I look at Cornette as like a God almost, but fuck what he says about Nick and Deathmatch/Hardcore wrestling. Mox is a true dude, too. This is exactly the type of interview people need to see with Gage.

@domenicricci2978 3 года назад

After His Dark Side Of The Ring Documentary, I Have So Much Respect For Nick Gage. The Man Lost His Mother, Father, And Brother. He Survived. He Went To Prison And Came Out. He Survived. This Dude Is A Tough Bastard.

@HioshimaFried 3 года назад

CCV can you tell me how it feels to have a "Go Get Gage" card up ya sleeve now? I had to go back 20 times rewatching that line xD Also amazing interview as always; after this and his episode of Dark Side of the Ring, I really have a newfound respect for Nick Gage

@higler. 3 года назад

haha no shit that's better than a get out of jail free card

@shanestephens4728 3 года назад

The biggest takeaway for me from this interview is - Nick Gage: Kitten Enthusiast ;) I joke, I kid. Fantastic interview, really appreciate Nick’s openness about life..and death. MDF’NK.
