Page was introduced as a bit character at first, with his rising prominence in the series coinciding with his growing in-ring fame. In their popular YouTube series, Being the Elite, which now has 507,000 subscribers, the wrestlers documented life on the road in goofy, semi-scripted skits and over-the-top storylines that sometimes trickled into the promotions for which they worked.

The foursome of rising stars had earned a cult following, and not just because of their in-ring theatrics for promotions like New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and Ring of Honor (ROH). In Omega, the Bucks and fellow grappler Cody Rhodes (collectively known as the Elite), who on wrestling’s independent scene had generated an unprecedented buzz for non-WWE performers, Khan saw four potential cornerstones. His toughest opponent has always been himself.ĪEW, THE BRAINCHILD of billionaire Tony Khan, launched in early 2019 with the mission of providing an alternative to the old-guard WWE, combining new age, high-flying wrestling with rich storytelling. For Page, it feels like a moment to share that much of the inspiration for the anxious part of his millennial cowboy came from deeper inside of him than anyone expected.

Hangman’s own career will reach another crescendo this weekend when he challenges Omega for the AEW World Championship at the Full Gear pay-per-view event in Minneapolis. So instead of settling for the tidy ending to the story shortly after the Revolution event, Page has worked alongside AEW brass to add more chapters to create a more human story, sending his Hangman character on a journey that resulted in months of public struggle. But as anyone grappling with anxiety or an inferiority complex knows all too well, maintaining your mental health takes work. Some think he’s overdue for an AEW World Championship reign. Nearly two years later, the bout is considered by many to be the finest in the company’s short history, helping to burnish Page’s credentials as a star who now has more than 265,000 followers on Twitter and 176,000 on Instagram, and whose “Anxious Millennial Cowboy” T-shirt is often seen on fans in the crowd.

It was a tour de force for Page, who managed to channel his self-flagellation into offense that blurred the lines between fantasy and reality. Page and Omega won the bout, but only after the four men used the match as a device to work out their simmering beefs: Page vs. That match, nearly thirty minutes of dazzling, acrobatic physical expression, is held up by fans on Twitter and the popular r/SquaredCircle subreddit as one of the surest examples of wrestling’s singular storytelling capability. and (your opponents are), I would say, without question, the greatest tag team of all time in the Young Bucks. “I challenge you or anybody reading to imagine that you were standing in the ring, and your partner is one of the greatest of all time in Kenny Omega. “How could it not be?” Page told Men’s Health during a recent phone call. The Young Bucks, brothers and AEW executive vice presidents Matt and Nick Jackson. Like all of the scripted sport’s richest stories, it was a recital rooted in reality (except for the drinking).

What none of the ring mates realized at the time was that their belief in Page had outpaced his own expectations-not just on TV but also in real life.įor fans who had followed Hangman’s story arc in recent AEW broadcasts and related webisodes, Page’s once upbeat-character had taken an emotional turn in recent weeks, swigging beers and lashing out at the friends with whom he now shared the ring. He was anchoring Revolution, one of AEW’s quarterly pay-per-view super shows, and set to share the spotlight with the three performers who’d hand-picked him for this moment: Kenny Omega, his co-AEW World Tag Team Champion, and their opponents, the Young Bucks (aka Matt and Nick Jackson).

A fan in the crowd threw up a sign: “HANGMAN, Drink MY beer.”įor the uninitiated, AEW is an upstart professional wrestling company, and Hangman is one of its biggest stars. Black vest resting on his broad shoulders, the 6-foot, 228-pound Hangman yanked his bandana down to his neck, revealing the sort of enraged game face often worn by men trying to pass insecurity off as machismo. ON FEBRUARY 29, 2020, 'Hangman' Adam Page, All Elite Wrestling’s blond-maned, hazel-eyed, self-styled “anxious millennial cowboy,” strutted into the ring in front of a packed house at Chicago’s Windtrust Arena with his chin held high and his heart jumping out of his chest.
