Brian Cage on Lucha Underground, WWE Release and More

They call it an interview. Brian Cage has been one of the major highlights of “Lucha Undeground”, mainly due to his amazing physique and ability to do some rather surprising high flying moves for someone of his size. With the recent announcement of “Lucha Underground” returning for a fourth season, Cage has been getting some more attention.

Cage was recent interviewed by “Ring Rust Radio” on a variety of topics, including his recent storylines on “Lucha Underground”, his hopes for the upcoming fourth season and any potential of a return to WWE (Cage worked in the FCW developmental territory from June 2008 – September 2009 under the name Kris Logan). Here are some highlights with transcription courtesy of 411mania.com:

On Season Four of “Lucha Underground”

“I would definitely hope to be part of the next season. Where we left off, we will see what happens because it’s been a while since we taped. I don’t know how much things will change, but I hope everything works out according to plan and I can continue to do an excellent program with Mil Muertes, Sami Callihan and King Cuerno over the gauntlet. Hopefully get my opportunity at the title again and come home with it.”

On a Potential WWE Return

“There’s been zero contact between them and me. They were giving me the runaround for 18 months about bringing me in for a try out. Finally, when they said they would bring me in, they kept saying okay the next one, the next one and the next one. Finally, they said okay we should get to this next one. I called them back the very next day and told them never mind, I don’t want to do it. I was with TNA and Lucha Underground at the time, so I just woke up and said, ‘F**k this, I don’t want to do this.’”

And on His Release From WWE

“There was a story when I got released. About six or eight months afterwards I got re-signed and then my contract got rescinded. I went back and forth with them about it and then Johnny Ace brought me down to talk to me at a show about bringing me back in. It was close to WrestleMania, so he said we will get through Mania then we will bring you in. So, after some calls and texts, he gets back to me and says they are no longer interested

So, I ask what happened. He tells me I haven’t called him or responded to him or came down to any live events. Then asked why would I waste both of our times just to say never mind? Then he says, ‘Well let’s face it kid, you’re average at best and were no longer interested at this time.’ I told him let’s really face it, I think you and I both know I am better than average, but I appreciate you responding and maybe we will work together in the future.

I want to say something more about that, but it would be politically incorrect. Fast forward to the next time and I said I didn’t want to do it and they were blown away. They couldn’t believe it and asked if I wanted this or that and I just said that I’m no longer interested right now, maybe another time. It felt kind of good to have it come full circle.”

Opinion: I like Cage and I can understand being given the runaround for trying to get back into WWE. If they’re that uninterested in having him around, there’s no point in wasting your time seeing if you can get as much as a tryout. At least Cage seems to have found some places that like him a little bit better and he does rather well there.
