Fade in on Cage sitting in a small professional looking studio,the following text appears across the screen 'Bobby Cage appearance on the Royalty of Wrestling podcast London 4/27/2112'
Guy #1:Evening there folks this is Richard Morgan here as always with my best friend and tag team partner...at least in this audio broadcast Marlon Martinez.
Marlon:Good Evening....and tonight this is a very special episode of the show as we have in studio a veteran of the American wrestling scene he's wrestled on all seven continents, Mr Bobby Cage. Bobby it's a pleasure to have you here.
Cage: Well it's a pleasure to be here I've never really done the whole podcast thing...
Richard:Well it's easy pretty much the same as radio but it's a lot less formal. I guess we should start with the same question we ask of every wrestler we have on...what got you into the industry were you a big wrestling fan?
Cage:Well...sort of I guess,I mean obviously coming up in Atlanta back in the time I was there was WCW and it was kid of a big thing my father was really into it and so I'd occasionally watch the shows with him...I didn't actually decide to wrestle until about four months after my stint...
Marlon:And what was the story there?
Cage:What prison? I thought everyone knew this?
Marlon:Well you know just for those fans not familiar with your story...
Cage sighs.
Cage:A'ight so me and my girl 'Lissa are coming home from the club one night when this guy jumps out with a gun and tries to rob us,but he holds the gun on her while looking at me...smart move you know he picked the dangerous one to watch and was basically showing me you know 'you make a move I shoot her'. Now I had a temper as a teen and my dad figured the best way to keep me out of fights was to send me to boxing...and not to brag but I was pretty damn good...So he takes his eyes off me and I knock that gun out of his hand and follow it up with an uppercut,he goes down but he pulls himself back up saying something about 'I'm gonna kill that cunt just for that asshole' and I just went of..I honestly don't even remember what happened my next clear memory was me standing over him with bloody two by four in my hands and then the cops pulled up and took me in. I went in for Manslaughter which..well fair enough I mean I didn't set out to kill the guy but he died and I had to pay.
Marlon:And so you did what a sixteen year sentence?
Cage:Right right I got twenty but I got cut loose in sixteen for some reason and this is where wrestling comes into it... I had made friends with this guy named Nicky Fanturo and Nicky was the son of a big...well lets just say 'legitimate buisnessman and money lender'. I ended up working for the Fanturo's for a while as a debt collector and one of the guys who I was sent to get cash from was a pro wrestler a real sad sack motherfucker who used to go by the name Parralax,we had a little talk about the biz you know after he paid me... he had to friggin' pawn the ONE title he'd ever won to do it but you know he paid me and told me about the life over a bottle of Jack and I decided that I was doing it I was going to be a pro wrestler.
Marlon: And this was in 2001?
Cage:Right right. So you know after that I mad eit a point to hang out wherever I knew that the wrestlers hung out,it was after WCW had folded and so you know there wasn't any chance of finding a decent opening..or at least thats what I thought. One night I got into a bar brawl against I think it was four maybe five guys...there was a fifth guy but he took a chair shot from one of the other guys and I wasn't sure if it was an accident and he'd been swinging for me or not...but anyway I managed to hold my own and put them down and this guy in a cowboy hat comes over and gives me his card.I totally forgot about it until the next night and I dig out the card and it was fucking Leroy Brown. You've heard of him?
Richard:Not me...Marlon?
Marlon:Nope not familiar.
Cage:Well he was really big on the southern U.S. scene for a while and at the time he was running Firk'n Hardcore Wrestling and managed to get me in the door. I guess I was a pet project of his because I won a twenty man battle royal on my first show and in a month I was part of Arrogance Untied which was our big face stable at the moment..well mostly face I mean I was a hell and I was at odds with everyone else storywise...
Richard:Now how does that work? The hell in a face stable thing...
Cage:Well storywise I pissed off President Brown and as punishment he stuck me in with the group who treated me like crap and constantly tried to beat me down and run me out of the buisiness but then the group fell apart and I ended up winning the President's Choice Championship....and then eventually I ended up in the Supreme Fighting Empire and I was main eventing...I mean the fans just loved me to death...
Marlon:And what was FHW like?
Cage:It was fun you know? I mean I got worn out on the whole globe trotting thing pretty quick but I really enjoyed it.
Richard:and now you are with the SCW?
Cage:Just SCW no 'the' I mean it isn't 'THE Sin City Wrestling'. And I like SCW too you know it's more laid back the road schedule is better...nice guys in the back you know...
Marlon: And how does your wife feel about the move to Nevada? I mean she used to be in the business right?
Cage:Well she sort of still is...she actually acts as my agent negotiating my contracts and all you know....she doesn't really wrestle anymore but she is still kind of involved.
Marlon:and she is actually your ex fiancee's sister?
Cage:Okay that makes it sound bad for the record Alissa was dead for years before Dee and I got married and Dee was the first one to meet me we just never hooked up at first because she is a couple of years younger them me..I mean when we met I was a junior and she was a freshmen she'd just beat the hell out of some guy for grabbing her ass and I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen so I hustled her out of there and gave her a ride home...and you know we got to be good friends. We did hook up a few times...especially after I went in to my bid and Alissa wouldn't come see me..but we were never offical until AFTER Alissa had her car crash...so don't make it sound like I married her out of spite or something okay?
Marlon:sorry man sorry no offense intended...
Richard:Alright well it's about time to wrap this episode up so are there any road stories you'd like to tell us about? Maybe some good ribs?
Cage:Actually you know I have a good rib story. 'Hollywood' Ian Walker the guy who was running the Supreme Fighting Empire while I was in that stable he is a great guy..I mean pretty much my best friend in the business. I had mentioned to him that I'd like to get into acting you know? I mean it seemed like a decent little paycheck.
So anyway a few months after FHW closed he calls me and tells me he's got me a role in a direct to dvd action movie,I'm going to play a badguy convict who takes these two cops hostage in this scene. So you know I'm excited as hell I'm thinking I might even get S.A.G. card out of this but when I show up on set? Its a damn porno. Here are these two little things..barely older then my own daughter dressed up as cops and they're thinking we're going to do a big threesome scene...
Richard:And did you?
Cage:Hell no..and between you guys and myself I've always regretted it but I mean I was freshly married I had a kid on the way.. I just wasn't going to do that shit. How could I look my daughter in the eye if she saw that?
Cage shakes his head.
Cage:Nah I didn't do it but I called Ian and told him he got me pretty good... I haven't done it yet but I'm laying some ground work on a good one to get back at him.
Richard: All right so anything you want to promote? A twitter a facebook any of that?
Cage:Nah I don't bother with any of that shit but I mean uh we've got London Brawling come up our upcoming Supercard it's actually why I'm in town here. I uh I'm competing in a 5 way Roulette Rules Battle Royale.
Richard:Something you're getting very familiar with.
Cage:Hey they're a blast. I'll be taking on Old Skool,Adam Smith,Tommy Staggs,and Jared Black. I mean I've taken on Old Skool and the 'Jackal' Adam Smith but Staggs and Black are two total newbs I've never really dealth with but I'm sure that we don't need to worry about them. Just tune in or better yet come on down to the arena on sunday night and watch me kick some ass.
Marlon:Alright well thank you Mr. Cage it's been a honor.
Cage:Hey no problem guys next time I'm back this way I'll definitely be back on here.
