AEW star Lance Archer can now add the nickname “Movie Star” to his far more well-known name of the “Murderhawk Monster” because of his appearance in the brand new Steven Spielberg movie “Disclosure Day,” alongside his Murder Machines tag team partner Brian Cage. With that said, things didn’t all the time go in accordance with plan on set.
Cage was a recent guest on the “Insight” podcast and he was asked in regards to the worst injuries he’d ever suffered, which led to Cage revealing that Archer actually suffered an injury on set that might keep him out of the ring for several months. “I remember on Disclosure Day, we were doing the match there with Lance. He had actually hurt his back, and so Chavo {Guerrero] was freaking out, didn’t want Lance to take like all bumps once we’re filming all the pieces, because if something happens to Lance and he cannot do anything, now we’re S.O.L. [S*** Outta Luck]. So now all the pieces that we had like rehearsed and gone over and we’ll do, now we’re like switching all the pieces on the fly. Now I’m pondering of every kind of like high-fly stuff I can do where he doesn’t must bump.”
Satirically, Cage would also suffer a small injury on the set of “Disclosure Day” that might ultimately snowball into an injury that might keep him out of motion for over 14 months. Cage would hurt his knee during a take that did not go as planned as a result of Archer’s injured back, and Cage would aggravate that very same knee once he returned to his AEW schedule. Nevertheless, the damage was still there, and he completely tore his knee during an indie match against Chris Masters, forcing him to sit down on the sidelines for over a yr, during which time he also got his other knee replaced as that had been causing him some discomfort.
