Matt Cardona: I’m Very Proud to Be Part Of GCW, I Am Trying to Leave the Indies Better Than I Found It

The Indy God loves what he has accomplished during his run so far.

Since making his mark on the independent scene, Matt Cardona has done a lot for the community from his matches around the circuit to being part of the biggest events produced by GCW where he’s feuded with many underground legends in the business. Cardona recently dropped his own version of the WWE’s Unreal documentary, but in his own POV from the things he has been part of in the last couple of months.

You can watch the full video from the YouTube video link, and you can read the full quote below from Cardona on how he wants to leave back the history he wrote for GCW and others during his incredible run.

“Brett Lauderdale and I have had our disagreements. We’ve butted heads, and I feel like we have the same vision, the same goal, right? It’s to grow GCW. I want to grow GCW. I want GCW to be like how ECW was considered the number three. I talk to Brett probably every single day. You know, whether it be storyline ideas for me or for other people, because there’s other people I see on this roster who I want to fucking elevate. Check my win-loss record, right? I lose all the time. I’m trying to leave the indies better than I found it. But at the same time, I’m not trying to give back. I’m not trying to pass a torch. I’m trying to light a new torch for myself. But at the same time, if I can do good for the business, for the independents, for GCW, for wrestling, sure I’ll do it. I’m very proud to be a part of GCW.”

Cardona was recently on the front lines when TNA invaded NXT after months of disrespect that they have dealt with. Many wonder if this means Cardona will be making an appearance on Raw or SmackDown in a near future event.
