-Interview
with Christian's Trainer
"The Suicide Blonde--Christian Cage--WWF Light Heavyweight Champion!"
A young Canadian matman set to make his mark on the International scene is
the 6'1" 227lb. "Suicide Blonde", Christian Cage.
I had the pleasure of training this young mat technician at Sully's Gym
during the 1994/95 season. I remember it well. The first weekend after
Labor Day 1994. It was the first year running the school without the
retired veteran Sweet Daddy Siki and in walked my first student of that new
year, a young athlete from Orangeville, Ontario who now wrestles as
Christian, the World Wrestling Federation's current Light Heavyweight
Champion.
I had seen Christian before, he was a regular at the Fighting Arts Mat
Enterprises (F.A.M.E.) cards I put on throughout Ontario. He use to come
with a group of his buddies to cheer on one of their friends who had made
it through my rigourous training program, Adam Impact who is now gaining
some prominence working as Sexton Hardcastle. (editor's note...- and has
since gone on to become the World Wrestling Federation's EDGE.)
Christian, looked upon the Fighting Arts Mat Enterprises cards, as a
learning
experience. He seen his friend win and lose some matches and decided to
himself that he would like to give it a go.
Christian , was a good student and a fast learner. A bit on the small side
I
remember getting the greatest kick out of him dancing like WCW's Alex
Wright. I mean, not like Alex Wright--An EXACT CARBON COPY!!
After 9 mos. of training I felt that this young man from Orangeville was
competent enough to make his ring debut. Now, unlike a lot of schools you
must understand that I have two criteria for deeming my students competent
enough to work. One...they don't embarass themselves out there and...TWO
(and more importantly!) they don't embarass me!!
The match was set and Christian more than held his own battling to a 15
min.
draw with one of my other trainees Zakk Wylde.
Since that time, fans in Michigan, Pennsylvania, the Southern States and
most recently Atlantic Canada have got a chance to watch Christian. In
Atlantic
Canada, in 1997, he teamed with his old friend Sexton Hardcastle to
form the Suicide Blondes tagteam that set young girls hearts aflutter.
The two Sully's Gym trainees followed the same path in the Maritimes that I
myself blazed in my younger days. They gave the heel team of the Model
Rick Martel and Don Casablancas more than they could handle in this their
inaugural season.
Upon completion of their Maritime Wrestling stint, Christian and Hardcastle
were
sent to Calgary by the World Wrestling Federation so Leo Burke and Stu Hart
could take a look at the grappling style of these two gentlemen.
Together with Tiger Ali Singh the addition of both of these gentlemen to
the WWF roster gives trainer Ron Hutchison and Sully's Gym a WWF Hat
Trick!!
There isn't a trainer or any other gym in Canada that could claim that
accompishment! Go get'em boys!!
