Hangman Page is one of the biggest examples in the world of professional wrestling that a wrestler really does not need WWE to become a household name in the wrestling world. Page mostly earned his success by working on the Independent Circuit, and also in the Ring of Honor during his early days of the wrestling career.
Tony Khan signed Page as one of the earliest signings for AEW. From its very first day, it has been the biggest competitor promotion to WWE. After joining AEW, Page even became a bigger name and in 2021, he won the AEW World Championship which signified his future legacy in the promotion.
WWE Hall of Famer Explains Why Hangman Page Can Be The Face of AEW
WWE Hall of Famer and former 4 times WCW World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Jarrett believes Hangman Page can be the man to lead All Elite Wrestling towards the ultimate success and the promotion should push him as the face of the promotion. Speaking on a recent edition of his “My World” podcast, he said;
Hangman Page is Presently Active in AEW
“He’s aggressive. Yeah, he brings it, and I respect that. When a guy — you know, he’s super athletic. He had that trilogy of matches against Swerve [Strickland], kind of in that — we’ll call it feud. And I went and did quite a bit of research on his matches and his body of work, not just AEW. Going all the [way to] Japan, Ring of Honor. And just kind of knowing the story. And so I’ve got a lot of respect for the guy.”
Hangman Page is a Former AEW World Champion
“My set point is, Hangman knows how to evoke emotion. And we’ve said it many, many times here on the show, creative is subjective. And so, it depends on what lane the talent’s going to pick, or the process is going to be, or how the promotion is going to roll it out. Do I think Hangman could be that guy? Yeah, but it’s staying the course.”
Page got into a conflict with CM Punk during the final days of Punk in AEW which stalled his main event run in the promotion. But after the departure of Punk, Page is slowly getting his momentum back and it is believed that he will soon the AEW World title again. There are also beliefs that the promotion may focus on building him as the face of the promotion.
