Cage who won the impact World Heavyweight Championship recently is currently signed with AEW and Impact Wrestling.
Cage who recently won the Impact World Championship at the first ever episode of the AEW Rampage by defeating Kenny Omega is sometimes considered one of the most underrated wrestlers in the history of professional wrestling.
Booker T Says Christian Cage Is Very Underrated
In his twenty six year old long professional wrestling career he spent his most of the time WWE where he was never been seen as a potential main eventer. Even though he won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship two times in total, she won the title when the Championship lost its prime. But he was always a main eventer outside of WWE.
His fans often say that he wasted his most of the time in WWE. If he stayed outside of WWE, he could have achieved way more than he did. At the age of 47 he proved his worth when he faced Kenny Omega on the first episode of AEW Rampage. The match is already a Match of the Year Contender. We hope Christian achieves what he deserves.
Booker T who is also a former five times WCW World Heavyweight Champion recently spoke on his Hall of Fame podcast where he called Christian Cage most underrated professional wrestler that ever wrestled in WWE.
“I’ve always said that Christian is the most underrated professional wrestler that ever came to WWE. I always thought Christian was a top notch worker. He’s a guy that can go out there and do anything with anybody in any style of match.
“When there was a match where there was one person and myself, say for instance Triple Threats, Battle Royals, and stuff like that, I would always come to work, and when I would see if I was a part of one of those matches, 8-man or whatever, I was always praying and wishing Christian was somewhere on the opposite side or just in that match. In that style of match, I wouldn’t even think about what I was going to do. I would just go to Christian and I would say, ‘Christian, what am I doing tonight?’
“He would say ‘I’ll get back with you in a little while.’ I would get back with him later and he would say, ‘Ok, right here you’re going to do a scissor kick. Right here you’re going to do the spinaroonie Right here, the Book End.’ I’m like, ‘Ok, thanks. I appreciate it.’ He literally would tell me everything that I had to do in that match.
“It would be such an easy night for me, a night off when I was working with Christian. When I was working with him in singles matches for the Intercontinental Championship, my first and only Intercontinental title reign, Christian and I had so many great matches that weren’t on TV. They were at the house shows. We had so much fun. It was a labor of love going out there and performing for the crowd.”
