Fro Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Not an exact transcript (Christian used a lot more detail in points), but you get the jist: (I'll add the stuff with D'Amore later) Christian Cage: So I can guess you can imagine the question I got asked the most this week: Are the rumors that we've been hearing true? Is it true you're going to TNA? And if so, why? Well I'll tell you this much ["CHRISTIAN CAGE" chant] I can tell you this much I didn't come out here to see the same guy come out and say the same damn thing week after week after week I didn't come here to see a grown man dressed up like a doctor pulling things out of someone's ass and you can be damn sure I didn't come here because I got fired Which brings me to another rumor that I want to put to bed right now. It's not true that I got lowballed I got a huge sum to stay where I was. The reason that I came to TNA s the same reason everyone is in this arena right now. The same reason that everyonhe's watching genesis live on PPV. That reason is that I love WRESTLING! I've been known to crack a joke or two, say something sarcastic, pull a rib but I don't want anyone to forget that I am without a doubt The GREATEST all-around performer in this sport today It's like this...I'm tired of egos and politics. I wanna see guys in this ring busting their asses I wanna see WRESTLING reinvented! Last night I turn on Spike TV, I'm watching Impact (there's your plug right there by the way). It reminded me about when I broke on the scene 8 years ago... there were two companies one was old and stale, one was young hungry and cutting edge. This very moment, there are still two companies One is old, boringh, and lacking direction... and the other one iS T-N-A!! [MASSIVETNA chants] This is something I wanna be a part of... I want to be the biggest piece of this puzzle. Which brings me to Jeff Jarrett I've got 2 things to say to you One, you should never wear white pants after labor day. Two, I've come to tna to take the one thing that's alluded me my entire career. The most important title in this sport, the NWA World Heavyweight championship Stand up and take notice, that Christian Cage is here! And christian cage will fulfill his destiny... Because THAT'S HOW I ROLL!
claydude14 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 I can imagine his delivery in it, that's pretty awesome. Can't wait to see him on Impact.
2GOLD Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Damn, that is a fucking sweet promo. Only Christian could have delivered something so nice.
tekcop Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 So... there's going to be video of that up soon right? Right?
Guest Andrew J. Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Only ONE thing's eluded him his whole career? Yeah, right.
Guest *KNK* Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Only ONE thing's eluded him his whole career? Yeah, right. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He held every other title possible to carry WWE and WCW Tag Titles, IC Title, Hardcore, Lightweight Title, European Title... The world title was all that was left and he may or may not have held the US title during the Invasion period.
claydude14 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Don't think he did, but he held the IC title after the US was unified into it, but after it was deunified from the World Heavyweight title, if that means anything.
Guest Hass of Pain Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Here's a pic of Christian from tonight for those curious. I have a few more on my blog as well. After reading the transcript of his promo I am loving Christian in TNA. Line of the night had to be "Jeff Jarrett, I've got two things to say to you. One, you don't wear white tights after Labor Day...".
2GOLD Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Am I the only one who'd love to see Christian vs Petey Williams at the next PPV? I know the styles don't match up extremely well but there is something about that match-up that interests me more and seems like a good starting point for Christian considering his start with Team Canada.
TNABaddboi Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Am I the only one who'd love to see Christian vs Petey Williams at the next PPV? I know the styles don't match up extremely well but there is something about that match-up that interests me more and seems like a good starting point for Christian considering his start with Team Canada. I'd love to see that match too, but I have a feeling that we'll be seeing Christian take on Bobby Roode at Turning Point based on him being the one in Christian's face during the promo.
dubq Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 What, if any, music did he use during his debut? Was it a generic version of his WWE theme?
Fro Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Posted November 14, 2005 What, if any, music did he use during his debut? Was it a generic version of his WWE theme? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> (EDIT) It was an instrumental/ripoff of the riff from Evanescence - My Last Breath... which still sounds like his WWE theme. Imagine the riff at the beginning looped. Actually, I think his WWE theme was a rip off that in the first place, so TNA is just one-upping them... it really sounded great.
Slayer Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Damn, I'd like to see the footage of this
dubq Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Me too! I'm going to check Limewire when I get home this evening.
RavishingRickRudo Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 I second the theme music thing. Very good. Especially by TNA standards.
Dangerous A Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Christian's new/old theme hit me as very good when the show went off the air. Well done.
Failed Bridge Posted November 14, 2005 Report Posted November 14, 2005 Me too! I'm going to check Limewire when I get home this evening. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's nothing up on Limewire as of right now. I just checked
TNABaddboi Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 Christian's TNA Debut Promo Hitman, when I clicked on the link, I got a German webpage. Am I doing something wrong?
Failed Bridge Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 Hitman Jebus has gotten himself onto my Christmas Card list with this act.
Jebus Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 Christian's TNA Debut Promo Hitman, when I clicked on the link, I got a German webpage. Am I doing something wrong? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> German website!??! That's weird...it's supposed to send you to rapidshare Hope this isn't happening with anyone else.
Failed Bridge Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 Hitman Jebus is secretly directing us all to German fetish porn
Youth N Asia Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 "I didn't come out here to see the same guy come out and say the same damn thing week after week after week" Uh...should I break it to him?
Star Ocean 3 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 He should've brought back the opera theme music.
Jebus Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 wtf is this file type? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hell, I don't know either! Just in case, I used Winamp to watch it.
LaParkaYourCar Posted November 15, 2005 Report Posted November 15, 2005 Awesome promo. Christian is easily just established himself as one of the best mic workers in TNA, and there aren't a lot in TNA that are great on the mic. If played right he could be a great asset.
