Matt Cardona was the talk of the wrestling world on Saturday night when he defeated Nick Gage in a blood-soaked deathmatch to win the GCW World Championship at the GCW Homecoming event. Cardona has fully embraced the anti-WWE sentiment while portraying a heel in Game Changer Wrestling, and his victory over the beloved Gage had fans so riled up that they started pelting Cardona with garbage as he celebrated the victory (this managed to draw comparisons to Hulk Hogan’s notorious heel turn at Bash at the Beach 1996). Cardona didn’t appear at the second night of GCW Homecoming on Sunday but he did pop up on Busted Open Radio to address the wild crowd reaction.
