This Sunday is Impact Wrestling's biggest show of the year, Bound For Glory. In the main event, Austin Aries will be defending the Impact World championship against Johnny Impact.
The greatest man that ever lived joined
WINCLY to discuss BFG and took the time to criticize Brian Cage for not defending the X-Division championship at the big pay-per-view:
"Obviously, you'd like your titles to be defended at major pay-per-views. I think most fans would agree with that although it doesn't mean that always has to be the case," said Aries.
"I think it's funny, if you look at Brian Cage, the guy calls himself "The Machine." 265 lbs and spends a lot of time in the gym and eating chicken breasts. The guy comes in Impact Wrestling and instead of going after a guy like Moose or Killer Kross, who is he beating up? A bunch of guys half his size? Walking around like he's a big man.
"I was the X-Division champion and competing against guys mostly my size, and I dominated them. Then I stepped up and dominated guys double my size just like him. I'll be impressed when he gets in there with Moose or Killer Kross and let's see if he's doing the things he's doing now. He's an impressive athlete but he wants to do some flips and twists and dives. Have fun, don't get hurt. It's dangerous."
According to Aries, when he held the X-Division Title, he thought it was the most important championship in Impact. He wanted to defend it on every PPV at a main event level.
"Now this guy wants to be in a six-man match with some Luchadors," Aries said of Cage.
"That's cool."
