Brian Cage Takes Shot At Tim Wiese, WWE For Ripping Off His ‘The Machine’ Gimmick

November 4, 2016

Lucha Underground star Brian Cage posted the following comments on Twitter and Instagram after WWE recruit and former goalkeeper Tim Wiese made his WWE debut in Germany this week.

Wiese worked as “The Machine” in his debut, which is also Cage’s nickname / gimmick:

Apparently I’m so over with @WWE(thx for being a fan) they give a jobber non wrestler my moniker. But we all know there’s only 1 #machine

Don’t be fooled by cheap rip offs and imitations. I work in mexico all the time, I can tell when there’s a generic low budget wannabe from the American made real deal…..all jokes aside this guy’s isn’t fit to lace my gaunlets, adjust my knee pads, or trim my side burns, but go ahead and try to ride one of the many monikers I’ve made great and built my name with. #WWE had me, #TNA could of had me and #luchaunderground has cashed in on me. I know my talents and abilities as do all the fans and people who believe in me and have used me so. Don’t be bitter, nobody to blame but the ones who had me and let me go. I’m over here enjoying life, living and loving my dream, driving my dream car with my dream girl and finally feeling like what I thought it’d be like at age 10 to be a pro wrestler. #fnmachine #therecanbeonlyone #swolverine #mrgmsi #allaroundbest #whobetta #loveitkillit #whateverittakes #luchadordestroyer #neversettle #ownerofthespotlight #morethanwwe
