Chris Dickinson has some memorable stories that come with his battle scars.
During an interview with Alicia Atout, Chris Dickinson spoke about facing Nick Gage and looked back on how he stepped things up in that battle. The two squared off in GCW for the first time at “The Dynasty” in 2018, and Dickinson said that he left the match with a scar that he sees almost like a keepsake of sorts.
“There was the one [match that] really started kick-starting me breaking out more was this match I had with Nick Gage at GCW,” said Dickinson. “We used some barbed wire, there was barbed wire in the ring. I took a faceplant face-first into barbed wire, and I got this scar [shows shoulder on camera], this gross like, looks like a piece of steak or something. It’s gross, it’s terrible, but you know, it happens. That was a pretty good one where I look back on it, and I was like thank god I didn’t like rip myself up even worse.
“There’s been a couple. I don’t stuff like that very often, but when I do, you’re gonna have things, I have other ones from other matches, you’re gonna have little things that you’re gonna remember it by.”
“And this scar, in particular, I remember Masato Tanaka was at the show, and I think that was the first time I actually met him,” said Dickinson. ”He became a friend of mine, I ended up wrestling him, and just a really amazing guy, and he’s one of like my heroes. And he’s got all the crazy scars all over his body from all the FMW deathmatches. And I was like…, ‘You think stitches?’ And he looked and he was like, ‘No, no stitches.’ And I was like okay, he said no stitches, so I absolutely can’t get stitches because he told me not to. But looking back on it, I probably should have [laughs].”
