Nick Gage vs. Jon Moxley was one of the biggest GCW matches of all-time given Gage's status in GCW and Moxley's status in wrestling as one of the top stars in AEW.
The two fought in October 2021 and then had a rematch in October 2022.
GCW promoter Brett Lauderdale confirmed that Moxley was paid for the match and that Moxley requested Gage be paid equally.
Lauderdale honored the request, saying he paid Gage equal to what he got for his AEW match against Chris Jericho.
I will now make a shocking revelation:

Yes, I was paying Jon Moxley - a major tv star of nearly a decade, a world champion, and the hottest wrestler in the industry more money than I was paying Nick Gage for their match in GCW.
In this same interview, the hosts repeatedly tried to get him to talk bad about me and he forcefully declined. Nick not only referred to me as his friend, but his FAMILY.
