[4.0] "He's not very good, to be honest. Being a big guy and capable of doing a moonsault is great and all, but that's literally all he is. Could really be a big name, but clearly lacks the ability in-ring and on the mic. Has a great look, but again, that's it."
[4.0] "Great body but that is about it for Brian Cage. There was a novelty with Cage that a guy this jacked was doing lucha libre but once youve seen it you get the idea. I enjoyed his run with Elgin in PWG as two big guys tossing around the usually smaller independent roster but that was awhile ago now. Cage has definitely hit his ceiling."
[4.0] "Is Brian Cage a competent wrestler - Yes. Do I enjoy watching him? Well very occasionally. He's a good hand to have on a roster when you need a big beefy boy, but he just lacks something that would propel him much higher up cards and ratings. It's probably charisma, but who knows."
[4.0] "he's a bad wrestler with a meaningless gimmick and no charisma. he's big and looks mean and thats about it. His matches are soulless compilation of moves, with no psychology or selling involced. He also thinks he should be a top guy for some reason. He has nothing going for him. Well, excepts roids"
[7.0] "One of the current best big men in wrestling today, I love that this man keeps Chris Kanyon's legacy going (R.I.P.), he's a very good wrestler in the ring, very charismatic, has an insane physic, a total badass, he's got most of it down."
[5.0] "Brian cage is an interesting wrestler to rate, While impressive in the ring and can do a lot of things that can make you go OH WOW he has no personality and no real psychology in the ring and is only good for a good gimmick match where he can show off with a moonsault or catching someone in mid air, while good in Impact and Lucha Underground, His AEW run was very short lived in term of him as a main eventer as they beat him into the ground and is just now forgettable as a Six man tag champ in ROH."
[7.0] "Good in ring talent. Cage has good athleticism for a man his size and a good power move set. He is better with a manager as he is not the greatest on the mic. Needs to be booked like a proper monster heel because that is his most effective role."
[6.0] "A solid big man, but no big deal. Brian Cage is a guy who can work well as a brute force or the muscle of a group, but he doesn't excite me in almost anything."
[6.0] "Brian Cage has a great look, and some decent in-ring skills, but after that, I'm not sure. He definitely needs a manager, otherwise, he feels somewhat pointless. So far, in AEW, he has been put in some decent positions. They know what to do with him, except when they cut him from Team Taz, because not much came out of that. As long as he stays where he is, Cage will be fine."
[4.0] "A really great look but that's where it stops for Cage. No charisma or promo ability but looks threatening enough to get over as an intense powerhouse, but unfortunately for him he likes to dip too much into the high flying game so he squanders his one asset."
[5.0] "He can do several great spots/moves like the moonsault, shooting star push, top con hilo, and so on. The issue here is that he lacks psychology and is unsure what to do in the absence of high points. His sales are basically non-existent. His bouts are quite hit-or-miss. They may sometimes feel like a whole movefest showcase with no storyline. A 5 for athletic ability and physical fitness. If you want to see the definition of an indie movefest, go no further than this man.""
[4.0] "Brian Cage is a guy who seems like he should be a lot better than he actually is. He is an athletic powerhouse, but he has no charisma whatsoever and seems to have a very limited understanding of how to structure a match. His strikes look awful (especially his kicks), and he is often more concerned with demonstrating his athletic ability than actually putting together a decent match. The only thing stopping me from giving him a lower rating is that he is capable of doing good work when he has the right opponent or is in a promotion that prevents him from playing in to his worst tendencies - his early Lucha Underground work, for instance, was pretty strong. When left to his own devices, however, Brian Cage is a very flawed professional wrestler."
[7.0] "Not very much a persona but pretty good in-ring. Can hold his own with some of the best in AEW and can bring certain opponents up in matches. My favorite match of his is against Adam Page at DON 2021"
[5.0] "He is only capable of doing one match with a barebones persona, and while that one match can work when booked correctly, he is not a guy made for TV wrestling. You should see him once every two years at your local indie show and be monumentally impressed by him in those instances. Seeing him regularly exposes his weaknesses."
[6.0] "It's tough to rate Cage. On one hand, he as a great look that makes him look like a tough guy without needing the height to go with it, he has the raw power and the athleticism a guy his size should not have, but he's just so bland. He just joined some new faction and I haven't seen him since ROH is basically a glorified tape library with titles now. He would be better suited going to WWE where guys like him are sought after but he's a bit too much of a spot monkey to be taken seriously like he should be. He's such a good all around in-ring worker with the look of a star so it's a shame that he's wasting that potential in a place that doesn't know how to book big guys."
[6.0] "Cage is clearly talented and very athletic. He can do a lot of things guys his size aren't supposed to do while keeping up a powerhouse role. However, he doesn't have much charisma and lacks decent mic work. In the ring he can deliver at times but most of the time his matches are above average at best but rarely anything special or a must see unless paired with someone that is truly great. He's more of a supporting role and it's easy to see why he has struggled in AEW. With ROH relaunching I think he's best suited there. Overall, he's solid but his lack of charisma really drags him down and he gets lost in the sea of more talented stars and is unable to separate himself."
[8.0] "He looks like superhero in a comic book come to life and in many ways wrestlers like one as well. If he has an issue it's he comes across as must get all my stuff in type worker and thus he never saves things for bigger moments"
[7.0] "Cage is going to leave AEW and people are going to either say he was underutilized and should've been on TV, or that he was never worth the hype in the first place. The truth is not every wrestler is fit for weekly television, and Cage is one of those guys. Cage will always be a utility wrestler that can pull out a banger if you need it on your indie show, but asking any more from him is overestimating his value. Good look and good workrate, but sorely lacking in any kind of presence or personality."
[6.0] "I like a lot of Brian Cage's matches, but as an overall performer, he doesn't do it for me. He has NO charisma, it's like he's a black hole of any kind of noticeable human emotion. I've never even seen him cut a promo, let alone a good one. He has literally no heat in any match I've seen. That's not to say I don't like his in-ring work, again, he's put on some pretty incredible matches. But overall, he's got the Michael Elgin syndrome going. Lots of potential that he just could never really fulfill."
[6.0] "Cage is the best a guy can be while still remaining "just a guy". He's always been right below the surface of being a truly good wrestler, just held back by a few issues that haunt his performances. Obviously, he has a great look; "The Swolverine" and "The Machine" are fitting titles. He's also got some great strength displays, because how couldn't he with a physique like that. The issue with Cage is that he feels far too indy-oriented, being far too prone to hit a flurry of strikes with underwhelming impact and obvious leg-slap sound effects, resulting in the majority of his strikes looking weak. This feels especially egregious and disappointing because he's such a massive dude that I'm sure he could get some absolutely ridiculous impact in his strikes à la Michael Elgin if he simply bothered to, so he stands out quite oddly as this big and powerful dude who for some reason instead delivers strikes as if he's some generic NXT-tier high-flyer. There's also the issue that Cage often seems to just hit moves for the sake of it, going for multiple strikes or power moves with such speed as if he's in a race, not taking enough time and care to ensure that each move gets the most impact (and therefore the most significance) that it could. He can still impress me with some of his bigger power moves, but his inclination to go for that "indy work-rate" style of quantity over quality leaks in too often for me to consider him a truly impressive performer. He's still quite good, and even quite unique with how he manages to be so agile and athletic despite his immensely muscular body, but I'd really prefer if he just worked on these few issues so that he can really achieve his true potential."
[7.0] "Became a fan of Cage in Lucha Underground. Bodybuilder physique but still athletic. I love his innovative moveset. His flaws are more apparent in AEW. Not a good promo and feels unnatural playing a babyface."
[8.0] "You look to Brian cage, his intimidating look. His skill set and wonder how could Tony khan ruin something like him then you watch him for one single promo and you know why Brian cage could never be a star on his own since I heard he doesn't want anyone to manage him....... I hope he can get to a good terms to be used."
[6.0] "He's talented in the ring but besides that I'm not sure how he fits into AEW. Zilch in charisma and usually needs whoever he's working with to carry him in a program."
[8.0] "I wouldn't say he is terrible on the mic but he definitely isn't amazing. His in-ring work and his look are what sell it though, he is extremely ripped and can still pull off faster moves than other giants/monsters."
[7.0] "Er sieht gut aus, braucht aber etwas mehr Charisma. Dennoch ist seine Arbeit im Ring definitiv überdurchschnittlich für einen Mann mit seinem Körperbau. Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob er als Babyface am besten funktioniert, so wie die Route, auf der er sich gerade befindet."
[6.0] "It's not enough to have a beautiful body and speed to be considered a good big guy today, because we can enjoy such charismatic self-sufficient guys like WALTER. Brian doesn't look like a big star, he has no charisma and his matches are very monotonous."
[7.0] "I like Brian Cage quite a bit, especially during his time in Lucha Underground. He looks like a billion dollars, he has a moveset that reminds me a lot of a young Scott Steiner, and I think he's finally starting to get something going in AEW."
[7.0] "Brian Cage ist ein gutes, solides Powerhouse. Im Ring fehlt ihm manchmal etwas die Psychologie, trotzdem macht er häufig eine durchaus beeindruckende Figur, auch Abseits seiner Powermoves. Dazu hat er noch eine ordentliche Portion Charisma und sieht bedrohlich aus. Sein großer Schwachpunkt sind ganz klar seine Qualitäten am Mikro, da kann er leider nicht viel. Zum Glück hat er aktuell Taz an seiner Seite. Gäbe sicherlich einen guten TNT Champ ab, für ganz Oben reicht es dann aber doch nicht. 7 Punkte"
[6.0] "His work in Lucha Underground was pretty good. In AEW he's just kind of there. No charisma to speak of, either on the mic or in the ring. He can pull some decent matches, but most of the time he's just booked to squash guys. His AEW run is really flat so far."
[8.0] "He's got a great dynamic of being completely ridiculously muscled out and doing some lucha stuff. Wish he would get to wrestle more and maybe a babyface turn would be the key."
[2.0] "Bei PWG noch klasse, bei Lucha Underground noch ansehlich, aber jetzt einfach nicht mehr ertragbar. 2 Punkte für seine tolle Vergangenheit, die er sich mit seinem Steroidwahn kaputtgemacht hat. Auch wenn ich AEW nur selten verfolge, ist Cage einer der Wrestler, die ich am wenigsten vermisse, vor allem in einer Liga, in der es keine glaubhaften Gegner außer Archer gibt."
[6.0] "Looks like a million bucks but the issues of his work become quickly noticed: dude gases out in anything longer than 10 or so minutes, probably because the gear he takes and the sheer mass he has effects his cardo badly. It also effects his wrestling style, which is mostly just spots after spots with no real rhyme or reason for why he does it beyond it getting a cheap pop. He's fine for a powerhouse and a guy his size doing some of the stuff he does is just crazy, but he lacks nothing of real substance to get him anywhere. He's bad on the mic, doesn't play a convincing face and his heel work is nearly non-existent beyond a few small mannerisms. A manager helps but it doesn't fix the big holes in his style, and his AEW work hasn't exactly convinced me otherwise."
[6.0] "He is actually good but AEW is not proving to be a good choice because the storylines are not good at all. When he debuted with a win at double or nothing that was the time they should have given him the title and made him the superior big heel. But currently things are not good with him Taz's alignment definitely feels better but he needs better storyline better competition better opportunities."
[5.0] "Brian Cage has a specific role and he's able to make sure that he fills it, but he's often the more lackluster of the big guys, especially in the current division of AEW. He's fine in Team Taz, fine in his matches with guys like Mox, and usually fine in promos, but he never feels like the wrestler you're coming to see."
[4.0] "Niemand wird ihm absprechen, dass er den Look hat, um in einem Wrestlingring zu performen. Das wirkt schon eher "übertrieben" und seine Athletik ist stark und so macht er Sachen, die man bei den physischen Voraussetzungen nicht erwartet. So die oberflächliche Erscheinung. Schaut man hinter die Fassade, wird es dünn. Persönlichkeit, Mic-Skills, Charisma? Auf der Ebene kommt nicht viel und das betrifft dann eben auch seine In-Ring-Arbeit. Moves, Moves, Moves, aber Mimik & Co können das nicht unterstreichen und so weiß er, was er da tut, aber er weiß nicht, was er tun muss, dass man ihm da alles glaubt, was er macht. So sind seine Matches für mich oft uninteressant, da außer einen athletischen Contest oft nichts zu holen ist."
[7.0] "Assets: Has the physique reminiscent of the 1980s-1990s era of giants. Is surprisingly versatile given his size. Can serve as a champion at any level of the card. - - - Flaws: Would've been supreme in size if he was just a couple inches taller. Never broke out in the majors regularly despite seemingly having all of the tools to do so. Benefits from having a mouthpiece. - - - Career Potential: Admirable national league wrestler."
[9.0] "Ein wahrhaftiges Powerhouse das mit Elgin wunderbar bei PWG als die Unbreakable F`N Machines harmoniert. Auch in Singles Match wirklich gut. Bei PWG Sold Our Souls For Rock 'n Roll zeigte er an Roderick Strong einen 619 eins der Highlights bei diesem Event. Auch sonst gab es bis jetzt einige High Fyling Moves von Cage zu sehen. Ein klasse Mann der es leider nicht im Mainstream Wrestling geschafft hat. Edit 17. 11. 2017 Wird bald Vater ist ja mit LU Ringsprecherin Melissa Santos zusammen. Wird bei LU nicht erwähnt aber sonst wenn sie mit ihm auftaucht. Was soll man auch sonst noch zu ihm posten. Hat im Laufe der Jahre noch mehr an Muskel angebaut und trotzdem nichts an Beweglichkeit verloren. Vereint immer noch Beweglichkeit mit Kraft. Nach wie vor auch sehr begehrt. Edit 08. 09. 2020 Nun auch bei AEW angekommen. Hat übrigens mal Bodybuilding betrieben und es hat ihm nicht geschadet. Es ist halt das Unglaubliche an ihm er ist so aufgepumpt aber doch so agil und beweglich."
[7.0] "Good worker and can convincingly play a monster part. Definitely needs a manager due to his lack of mic skills. In AEW, he seems a little redundant with Lance Archer already playing the role of the unstoppable monster heel with a charismatic former wrestler as mouthpiece."
[8.0] "Brian Cage is a good wrestler, his best matches are usually no more than 15 minutes (except against Nakajima). And he also plays the role of "Monster" well, managing to make several very cool moves. It is perfect for the Mid Card of many companies, and if well booked it can even be a good Main Event."
[9.0] "I'm a big fan of Brian Cage. I just think he does his job extremely well. Is he the best in the world, or even near the top? Probably not. He's just a big bastard who also actually knows how to wrestle. He can play a good face and an even better heel. He's had some amazing matches over the years and will likely continue to impress for years to come. I can see him being remembered as one of the better "big men" in wrestling's history as a whole. 8. 5/10"
[6.0] "Has come a long way since the beginning of the Lucha Underground days, but I still can't help but to want to yell "meathead" every time I see him. If I'm Vince or Khan, I don't want to touch the guy for fear that he might all of a sudden deflate. As a worker, he keeps me mildly interested, but not by much."
[10.0] "I am getting really pissed about all the bad ratings because of his steroid use. for fucks sake made he used some. were the fans and we shouldn't care about the way he got to his physique we should care about him being the fn machine. cage is my favorite wrestler and he deserves it. he can throw people around as if they were babies. Although he is one big dude he can pull out moonsaults and tope con hills. Cage is one of the best wrestlers of our time and whoever denies that is either pretty drunk or a liar. watching cage perform gives me nothing but great joy. He's already at the top of the world and is gonna rise even higher. GOAT"
[7.0] "This guy eats his low-carb cereal with pure steroids. Seriously, he looks like he's made of nothing but muscles and bone. He wrestles with the power style you'd expect from his look but he can also throw in some flips and jumps. Pretty good but lacks endurance so you'll see him out of breath 15 minutes into any match."
[6.0] "Brian Cage can do some impressive things for a big jacked up guy, but he needs to be in there with someone who can hold things together to have a great match. Cage would probably be in WWE if he could pass their medical, something he himself has admitted that he can't do, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what part of their testing he'd fail miserably at."
[9.0] "Für mich der beste Big Man im Wrestling zur Zeit. Nach Ryback, Luther Reigns, Great Khali ist dieser Typ eine Genugtuung. Hat mich bei Lucha Underground überzeugt. Über den Look braucht man nicht zu sprechen. . Beim ersten Promo Clip dachte ich noch: Ach so n extrem Body Builder. Lucha hat doch schon Big Rick. Die Power Moves sehen einfach großartig aus. Selbst der Discus Lariat. Zudem kann er Moonsaults und n Mexican Death Driver sellen. Versuch das mal mit' nem Bad Luck Fale ;)"
[6.0] "Just started seeing matches with Cage a few months ago, a few with WrestleCircus, TNA and NOAH. The pro: the guy has the look. Jacked and functional strength to go with it. He's one of the more agile guys too, regardless of size. The negatives: The guy gets gassed fast. A couple minutes in, a couple suplexes, and he's already gassed. He also tends to botch. 3 botches in the 5 TNA matches I saw. He's good, but has room to improve."
[8.0] "The only thing about Cage that doesn't work is his finisher. Weapon X sounds like it's going to be cool but the move is the sloppiest finisher in all of Lucha Underground. Even when Cage pulls it off seamlessly, it still looks weird and never really looks devastating. The dude's a beast."
[5.0] "Well, he can some cool spots/moves like moonsault, shooting star press, top con hilo, etc. The problem here is that he has no psychology, doesn't know what to do without high spots. His selling is almost non-existent. His matches are very hit or miss. Sometimes they just feel like a total movefest exhibition without any storytelling. A 5 for being a good athlete and good body. If you want to see the definition of indy movefest, this guy is."
[7.0] "Cage ist im Ring doch oft wirklich ein robotischer Spotmonkey, ja. Trotzdem hat er unglaublich genial aussehende Offensive und ist in LU schon immer einer der Top Player gewesen. Dazu durch den Körperbau eine mega gute Ausstrahlung und auch Charisma. Selbst gute bis sehr gute Matches wirkt er in LU kontinuierlich. 7 Punkte."
[9.0] "Dieser Mann hat mich einfach überrascht. Ich sehe ihn und denke:"Okay was hat er beI PWG oder bei Lucha Underground zu suchen er sieht wie ein 0815 Bodybuilder Ryback aus". Aber dann legt er im Ring los und ich war fasziniert und gleichzeitig geschockt. So viele Masse und trotzdem so Agil und Athletisch!"
[5.0] "The perfect example of a man who could be great with a little bit of psychology added to his game. Cage is essentially mini Lesnar, except he doesn't botch Shooting Star Presses (at least not that Ive seen), but hes less threatening too. The dude could no sell half the things thrown at him and no one would bat an eye (and to be fair he kinda does), play up on his big looks but he'd rather do the flips and dives and the 'cool' spots that get cheap pops, to which I will admit it is impressive seeing a guy of his girth doing some of the crap he does but sometimes you don't need to get every single thing you do in every one of your matches in."
[7.0] "Auch Cage kenne ich leider nur von Lucha Underground, da mir gerade PWG als Produkt insgesamt viel zu spotlastig ist. Cage fällt bei LU gerade durch sein Äußeres natürlich auf und ist für die Under- und Midcarder eine stete Gefahr. Der Angriff auf den Titel war nichts; jedoch hat er mich in der kleinen Auseinandersetzung gegen The Mack vollends überzeugen können. Guter Mann mit dem gewissen Extra."
[7.0] "Brian Cage has been a favorite of mine for a while. He is a combo of power, agility, and physical presence. He looks incredible, and has an aura about him. His matches also tend to be really great. That being said, I'm not the biggest fan of "get your s*** in". As amazing, and talented as he is, Cage completely stops selling any previous moves, and doesn't use any real psychology in the ring. He hits big power moves, and he gets every move he uses in for every match."
[7.0] "Cage is capable of much more if given the right push and gimmick. He has a lot of talent and power moves are somewhat impressive. It would be in interesting to see him in the WWE paired with a larger powerhouse like Rhino or as a member of new Club."
[9.0] "Ein verdammt krasses Powerhouse, der Look könnte kaum noch krasser sein und auch sein Moveset gibt so einiges her. Was mich davon abhält die Höchstnote auszupacken ist sein Hang - gerade wenn er Face ist - zu Kicks und High-Flying, was recht unnatürlich aussieht"
[7.0] "Dude looks like an even more jacked-up version of the Wolverine comic character, and moves a lot like him too. He's in a great spot for himself in Lucha Underground, where he looks even bigger against the average luchador. Not terribly charismatic, but not bad either. Has some pretty good matches. He's not as elite ast the 8+ overall rating would suggest, but there's a lot to admire."
[1.0] "Here is another example of the typical Indie wrestler. He has a very impressive size and look and I did enjoy a few matches of his in Lucha Underground, but his matches can get old and repetitive with him doing suplexes the whole match. There is an obvious reason no big promotion wants him and if you havnt been able to figure it out yet its because his charisma is -100/10."
[8.0] "I dig The Machine. Cage is a truly impressive heavyweight power wrestler with an imposing presence. There aren't many like him left in wrestling today, and I don't think there were ever many like him who were this skilled in the ring. Surprisingly decent in-ring storyteller, too, even if most of his stories are "I'm a really big guy and I completely destroy you in ways that make sense. ""
[2.0] "Easily one of my least favorite wrestlers. The guy comes off like a freaking robot in the ring and his machine persona makes him think that he doesn't have to sell. It's rare that I can fully get behind Cage and I say that as he's gotten boring to watch in the ring overall. Even at that I don't fully get to why he's been pushed as he's just not that interesting and feels like another Michael Elgin in my opinion."
[8.0] "Ein kräftiges Kerlchen, das unglaublich beweglich ist für seine Statur. Kann den Lucha-Style teilweise mitgehen statt nur auf schlichtes Powerhouse-Wrestling zu setzen. Vor allem sein Finisher ist technisch beeindruckend. Promomäßig nicht so überragend, aber bisher reicht ja ein Satz um die nötigen Reaktionen beim Publikum hervorzurufen. Ich finde jedoch, er könnte ein paar Kilo Muskelmasse abbauen. Ich muss immer spontan an einen Steroidmissbrauch denken, wenn ich ihn sehe, aber vielleicht hat er auch einfach nur gute Gene."
[10.0] "Ich finde seinen Körperbau zwar beeindruckend, aber schon fast übertrieben unnatürlich. Das ist aber auch schon fast mein einziger Kritikpunkt an ihm. Er ist ein agiles Kraftpaket und hat einige wahnsinnige und harte Aktionen im Gepäck. Kann mit den richtigem Gegner wahnsinnige Matches abliefern, wie man z. B. gerade bei Lucha Underground im sehr starken Cage Match gegen Johnny Mundo gesehen hat. Gefällt mir richtig gut, der Kerl."
[9.0] "Er überrascht mich. Ich kenne ihn jetzt nur aus Lucha Underground und da bringt er sehr ordentliche Sachen trotz und aufgrund seiner Statur. Gerne mehr von diesem Mann. Vorerst 8. --- Ich muss nachbessern, denn der Mann ist immer besser geworden und hat inzwischen v. a. bei LU auch einen Charakter entwickelt. Er hat sogar mehr als solide Mic-Skills. Es geht einen weiteren Punkt nach oben, 9!"
[8.0] "At first look you would think Brian Cage would just be some juiced up looking dude that Mr Mcmahon likes but don't let his size and physique deceive you because he is very agile for his size which is a very underrated part of his skill set along with his decent mat based moves and his promos but his strength is a standout which will get him noticed"
[6.0] "Ein großer Fisch in einem kleinen Teich. Für einen so aufgepumpten Kerl ganz athletisch im Ring und so lange er Move an Move aneinanderreihen darf wie er lustig ist und den Big Man spielen darf, auch ganz unterhaltsam."
[6.0] "Body too good to be natural but lacks the overall size to be a monster in a huge promotion. Does a nice move set for a guy this muscle bound. I've enjoyed his work in lucha underground but I can't really see him as more than a mid card act for a promotion of this size... He just isn't going to connect with a crowd bigger than the local Indy scene."
[9.0] "Cage keeps on progressing and is capable of having great matches with certain people. He is entertaining, has charisma and is hugely powerful. I think Cage has been somewhat underrated in the past but his work in Lucha Underground has increased his profile."
[10.0] "Man, I love Cage. Dude is built like a brick house and yet he can fly around like it was no thing. The man possesses incredible power and knows how to use it. I have never not been impressed by this guy, one of the most eye popping guys out there on the scene."
[9.0] "Meiner Meinung nach, einer der besten in seiner Klasse. Ein Powerhouse mit so einer Statur, der High-Flyer Moves zeigt und sogar einen 619 zeigen kann. Bei ihm bekommt man so viel geboten, ich hoffe er darf irgendwann in einer größeren Liga mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekommen!"
[8.0] "Cage seems like a can't-miss prospect - possesses surprising agility belying his impressive bodybuilder's physique, is capable of high-flying offense as well as believable power-based moves, and seems to have a good amount of personality and intensity. Strange that neither WWE nor TNA seemed interested in him during either his WWE developmental run or his shot on TNA's Gut Check, but has been doing well making his name on a national level as one of Lucha Underground's top heels."
[9.0] "Ich muss ganz ehrlich gestehen, dass dieser Mann mich in gewisser Weise fasziniert. Er kein 08/15 Powerhouse wie Ryback oder Big Show, dieser Mann kann ersthaft Wrestlen und noch dazu besitzt er ein wirklich breitgefechertes Moveset, dass nicht nur bei einer Powerbomb und einem Spinebuster aufhört. Von dem was ich bis jetzt in Lucha Underground gesehen habe, kannn ich nur sagen, dass dieser Herr einfach zu unterhalt weiß und sicherlich noch für die eine oder andere Überraschung gut sein wird. Dementsprechend bekommt dieser Mann von mir 9 Punkte, einfach aus dem Grund, weil das Gesamtpaket stimming und unterhaltsam ist. Weiter so!"
[9.0] "Great blend of power and high-flying. Interesting moves like Weapon X. He's found his calling in Lucha Underground, and I hope he does well there. Seems like he can play a heel fine and well, and has that charismatic streak to him."
[10.0] "Brian CAGE is a great wrestler, very sexy and see the fight is a fantastic moment. I hope it will reach the heights of international wrestling in quickly integrating the WWF. Good Luck Brian. Continue to give us so much pleasure. thank you"
[8.0] "Habe ihn bis jetzt nur bei Destination X gesehn aber bin wirklich positiv überrascht. Durch seine Statur hab ich eigentlich einen beweglosen Muskelhaufen vermutet, doch dann kam zuerst verdammt gute technik und der Springboard Moonsault (auch wenn er ins Leere ging) war verdammt geil. Noch der lächerliche bart weg, ein gescheites Gimmik und dann läuft dat."
[7.0] "Ein Beispiel dafür das man auch als Muskelprotz mehr sein kein als nur ein dumpfes Powerhouse. Bei PWG DDT4 zeigte dieser Koloss von einem Mann einen Lionsault der Jericho in seinen besten Tagen zu Ehre gereicht hätte. Ich saß vor dem Bildschirm und musste die Szene 5 Mal ansehen sonst hätte ich es nicht geglaubt. Top Typ."
[8.0] "This is a good wrestler for a few years but I find it much more sharp and I hope to see him soon in WWE. With such a muscle, it has everything to hang a major title in the largest federation of American wrestling. Good luck Brian CAGE!"
[7.0] "Ein Mann der sich über die letzten 2-3 Jahre wirklich gemacht hat. Anfangs nur ein Powerhouse unter vielen aber mittlerweile hat der gute Cage aber wirkliche eine enorme Entwicklung gemacht. Ober Powerhouse Wrestling oder sogar ein wenig Highflying. Der Mann kann alles mitgehen und muss nur etwas an seiner Ausstrahlung arbeiten um ganz nach oben zu kommen."
[8.0] "I've seen Brian Cage wrestle in TNA once for Gut Check this year and I've watched him on PWG twice and MAN has this guy gotten jacked since the last time I watched him in FCW 4 years ago! After not following his work for a few years and seeing how unbelievable he looks, I feel he's still as good of an in-ring worker now as he was back in FCW as Kris Logan when he was WAY lighter than he is now. Since that TNA Gut Check opportunity didn't work out for him, hopefully he'll be able to get a 2nd chance in WWE developmental somewhere down the line."
[5.0] "Overrated! Bei PWG jetzt mit großen Main Event-Push ausgestattet, weiß Brian Cage in meinen Augen nur bedingt zu überzeugen, mich langweilt er sogar. Im Ring bestenfalls durchschnittlich, finde ich seine Ausstrahlung auch sehr begrenzt, was ihn für mich zu einem uninteressanten Charakter macht."
[7.0] "Was ich von ihm bei FCW gesehen habe war durchaus ansehnlich und auch als Cage-Taylor bei PWG weiß er zu unterhalten. Sowohl auf der Matte als auch als High-Flyer arbeitet er sehr sauber und mit den richtigen Gegnern zeigt er wirklich schöne Matches. Den Look hat er, an der Ausstrahlung müsste er noch arbeiten, aber durchaus einer der Guten in Indy-Kreisen."
[10.0] "The perfect high flyer. another waste of talent. He had a great physique, with a good build. He was strong and VERY agile. He was among the best wrestlers in FCW history. WWE though didn't know how to use him at all. WWE just wasted him, giving him an FCW tag championship whhich lasted for less than a day. Then he was released. WWE really dropped the ball."
