welcome back from the UK Rob Cage.
First,thanks for the third time being my guest.
No Problem Bernd! Always a pleasure chatting with you and the WrestlingJunkies crew.
Wrestling Legends Tour 2011,how was it for you be part of the shows in Berlin and
Rotenburg?
Well, as always, it was a great honour to be apart of a tour with such heroes of our sport. It was my second Legends Tour, and I am grateful to have been able to participate on great shows with great names.
What was your Highlight in Berlin?
Well, Berlin was great - my first time in Berlin (and another Capital city crossed off my personal list) and it was freezing outside.
I enjoyed being on the show against long time friend Logan Storm, as well as having the privilege to evaluate my work with Bushwacker Luke.
The highlight is either this or having a 6 hour car journey with Shane Douglas, where we discussed music, the wrestling industry (obviously) and the end of the world via nuclear war. There is a sentence you don't say everyday, huh?
And what was it in Rotenburg?It is no Secret that you and Logan Storm teamed up against
Eric Schwarz and The Giant Warrior.
Lo sentimos, no entiendo....
HA! Only joking.
Well...when we heard that the Conquistadors couldn't make it through customs as they refused to take their masks off, someone had to step up to the plate. The Giant Warrior was a great person to work with, and a true professional and it was a lot of fun wrestling wearing a mask - who knows, may have to do it again someday
From all the Legends on the Tour,who was your Favorite Star?
Well, all the Legends are people I have respect for and have grown up watching on Television, so it is a difficult question - I would like to say it is an equal level of favouritism,but Marty is someone I would like to say inspired me and my wrestling style.
The next weeks you will come back to Germany for the First AWM Pro Wrestling Show and
fight in the Limit-X Championship Tournement against Euan "Magic" Mackie in the first
Round. What will the Fans see?
We can forget the rules with this tournament. And with the rules forgotten, expect to see a major difference in what I do. It must be something to do with Lübeck that makes me angry...
As for Euan, well, we go back a few years now. We have tagged up and we have fallen out. His style is based in the sky, mine is the ground...and it's a lot easier for me to bring him down to my territory than it is for me to grow wings and fly around. So he better hope his magical powers don't get stopped at customs...
When you win the first Match your opponent will be Mad Alexx or Eddy The Raptor.
Something to say to your opponents?
I like the fact you say "When you win" - even Bernd Lorenz can see that Rob Cage is the future Champion.
Eddy the Raptor - I believe I got fed him on the Legends Tour in the afternoon. Pretty sure he got his arse handed to him, as well.
Alexx - well, as I have stated on the phone with the AWM promoter, he needs to be Mad, because their is no way anyone with sanity wants to step into an environment I am rather accustomed to.
You wrestle in November 2010 against The Vision,The Superstar Steve Douglas and kick his
ass. How do you feel beating one of the best in Germany?
OK, this match was my favourite match of 2010 - Stevie is one of the guys I have a LOT of respect for in European wrestling, and when I found out that we would face each other for the European Jr. Heavyweight Championship, I knew that the favourite for the match was going to be him - as you said, he is one of the best in Germany - so I had to bring a better game than perhaps had been noticeable in recent matches in Germany.
We started the match out establishing the fact that he may be a top wrestler but he doesn't care for the rules but then it soon got turned up to 11, and with a 20 minute time limit we fought back and forth for 19 minutes and I was the one to capture the victory within the last 60 seconds, claiming my first championship in Germany - I would like to think I met Stevie on his level of wrestling, and hopefully we will see each other again between the ropes.
(See my Facebook for a cool photograph of Stevie and I with the Trophy)
UKWE, you still wrestle there. Some News from the Promotion?And your way in there?
Well, UKW is somewhere that has seen me go back and forth with a number of guys, who have all been trying to claim my Heavyweight Championship since last July - and the biggest defence was against Valkabious, a fast rising star in Britain, and a behemoth of a human being. And a successful defence it was.
However, Bruce Sheila, a GPW regular, claimed in his title shot after the match and almost got a pinfall victory over me, but he fell short and then took a GTF (yes F) from me....but managed to come back and eventually defeat me, claiming the UKW Championship for himself.
My aim is to get back on top of things, and hopefully very soon, too.
For the fans here the Homepage of the UKWE: http://www.ukwrestlingexperience.co.uk
I saw on the Homepage that the UKWE will make TV Tapings.Where can the fans watch the
shows?
YES! UKW is on Sky Television in the UK - it is the ONLY British wrestling promotion with television programming.
Tune in: Sky Channel 219 - UK Wrestling Experience Thursdays 10pm GMT (11PM Germany) and repeated Sunday 8:30pm GMT (9:30 Germany)
What is your aim in 2011 in Wrestling? Is there a belt you will feel around your waist?
Well, 2011 is a huge year for me in terms of goals - I hope to see a number of belts and achievements come my way. Obviously I want the Limit-X Championship, but I also have hope of claiming one of the prestigious LDN Championships, as well as reclaiming my Heavyweight championship in UKW. And who knows, perhaps a tag team championship may be something to focus on too.
And my work in ICW in Glasgow is something I am currently enjoying too, because it allows me to be inventive and creative with the environment, as well as wrestling guys I have met before, but in a different style, where we know this time it is going to hurt more than usual, but we are willing to give it that extra effort to make sure ICW gets the recognition it deserves. My goal in this promotion is to keep delivering the standard of entertainment that the fans want to see.
Thank you for your time again and we see you soon back in germany.
Take care, Germany!
Logan Storm,Bernd Lorenz and Rob Cage
