In a recent episode of the “Wrestling Matt” podcast, pro wrestler Matt Cardona opened up about his fear when faced with the prospect of battling Nick Gage for the GameChanger Wrestling (GCW) World Title at GCW Homecoming Weekend 2021.
Despite ultimately securing victory and the title, Cardona, who was previously known as Zack Ryder, admitted feeling absolute terror at the thought of participating in the deathmatch.
The podcast featured several notable statements from Cardona:
Regarding his pre-match concerns, he humorously remarked, “Honestly, no exaggeration, I was scared to death. I had this wild thought that they might murder me in the ring just to create hype for Nick Gage.”
He also commented on the nature of the match, stating, “I understood the stakes. I knew I had to fully commit. This couldn’t just be a street brawl. It had to be a deathmatch, and indeed it was.”
