Book Matt Cardona to talk shit about your city and/or fans.
Back in April 2024, Matt Cardona suffered a torn pec during a bout with Blue Kane at Joey Janela's Spring Break 8. Since then, Cardona has continued to appear for some promotions in a non-wrestling capacity. The 'Indy God' currently serves as the on-screen general manager for GCW.
While speaking to the Wrestling With Freddie podcast for a new interview, Cardona explained that he had no time to feel sorry for himself after the injury, as he was busy looking for new non-wrestling bookings.
“The first 48 hours, instead of feeling sorry for myself or hanging out on the couch and watching Netflix, I was just on my calendar and my computer and my phone rescheduling my summer because I knew that I can’t just have a vacation. What shows can I do that will want to bring me in to just talk trash, do commentary, whatever. Being an independent contractor, especially on the indies, I had to reach out to every promoter like, ‘Hey guys, I can’t wrestle. Do you still want me? Cool, if not, I can find another booking’ because I’ve gotta pay bills and I’ve gotta keep that buzz alive more importantly.”
As the GM of GCW, Cardona recently stripped Blake Christian of the GCW World Championship. Learn more about that move here.
