Christian Cage truly showed the world why he is one of the best heels in pro wrestling over the past year thanks to his work in AEW, but he is alsoremembered for his time in WWE. With that said, Todd Grisham has now revealed the reason behind his infamous reaction to Christian Cages WWE return.
Throughout his career in WWE,Christian was always seen as the weaker half of his team with Adam Copeland. Copeland ultimately became one of the most accomplished WWE Superstars in the history of the company. While Christian was successful, he never reached the heights Copeland did and this includes the fact that Copeland is a WWE Hall of Famer while Christian Cage is not.
In early 2009, Christian made his comeback after almost four years away, but Todd Grishams lackluster response of Its Christian left many fans disappointed. Grisham took to Twitter and revealed that Vince McMahon had instructed him not to show excitement when Christian returned.
Before Grisham walked out for the show, McMahon called him over and told him to keep his reaction subdued, simply stating that he should say, Its Christian without any enthusiasm. Grisham acknowledged the instruction and followed it during the broadcast.
Thats why it comes as no surprise Christian Cage has no interest in a WWE Hall of Fame induction either. After all, its no secret Vince McMahon never liked Christian Cage or saw him as a top star. Regardless, Cage is more than happy in AEW right now and thats all that matters to him.
