The Machine Brian Cage captured the ROH World TV Title at the WrestleDream Zero Hour show. During the event, a fan held a sign ‘Who Better Than Brian Cage.’ Upon seeing the sign, The new ROH World TV Champion shared his thoughts on the sign and mentioned that it reminded him of the sign he had created for Chris Kanyon.
Brian Cage took to Twitter to share a story about having a similar moment as a fan. Cage took a sign to a RAW taping, which caught the eye of the late Chris Kanyon.
“This photo means so much to me. Not only is it a great shot from a memorable night, but it also reminds me of Kanyon and our first meeting. I went to Arco Arena in Sacramento for Monday Night Raw, with one goal in mind: to make a sign for Chris Kanyon in the hope that he would see it. It was Austin Appreciation Night, and he gave Stone Cold the “Who Betta Than Austin?” shirt.
“Someone threw something into the ring, and Kanyon got on the second rope to confront them. I took this opportunity to stand on my seat in the sixth row and wave my sign that read, “Who Betta Than Kanyon?” He looked right at it, and I knew he saw it. Mission accomplished. After the show ended, as I was walking up the stairs, I noticed he was looking around. I saw him and ran down so fast that I ran right into the safety rail.”

“He came over and said, ‘Whoa, take it easy, kid. Are you okay? Here, I wanted to give you this,’ as he handed me the shirt he had made for Austin. He signed both the shirt and my sign, making my night unforgettable and incredible. Later, after I had become friends with him, he told me how great he felt that night and that the shirt would be something he’d always remember.
“However, after some thought, he said, “As much as that shirt would mean to me, it would mean even more to that fan, as in you.” I told him how much it meant to me and how I have both the sign and shirt displayed in my home. I asked him why he wanted to give it to me. He replied, “You don’t see too many Chris Kanyon signs, so that meant a lot to me.” It’s a long story (and one of my favorites to tell), but it represents the same energy and feeling he had when he saw my sign for him as that Brian Cage sign did for me, especially for what it says and stands for. Thank you so much to whoever made this, and thank you for holding it high and showing your support. It made my night, and I’ll never forget it,” Brian Cage tweeted.
