GCW world champion Nick Gage recently appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss a number of wrestling-related subjects, including how the young hungry talent in GCW helped him fall back in love with the sport after he took a year off from the business. Highlights from the interview are below.
On his recent GCW title match with Jon Moxley:
That match I just had with Jon Moxley [at GCW Fight Club] was just incredible. You know, I kind of fell out of love with wrestling for a little bit so I took some time off for a year.
How the young hungry GCW talent made him fall in love with wrestling again:
But that year, I needed it because I sat and watched them young, talented wrestlers learn how to wrestle and bust their ass each and every night because you know GCW travels everywhere, we’re running shows every weekend mostly and to get to sit back and watch them guys, it inspired me to get back to f*cking doing what I love and that’s pro wrestling and get back in the gym and get back to where I need to be and now I love it and I just wanna say shout out to all the young talent, all the veterans in the GCW locker room that motivated me to get back to the top notch where I belong.
