On this episode of First Match we go all the way back to the beginning with the FTW Champion and current AEW superstar Brian Cage!

From making a "Who Betta Than Kanyon" sign to befriending Kanyon, creating his own backyard wrestling fed only to then have Kanyon come in and wrestle him in what he considers his first real match! It's truly un-real and awesome!

Then we get into his early WWE try-outs, getting concussed on his first dark match, what his opinion is on the way his character is portrayed and what he wants to see happen with it.

Make sure you listen until the very end to find out who's up next week...hint...he's a member of the WWE Hall of Fame!

 

Enjoy!!!
