>>9108252I don't know man, it did a number on his career too.
Despite being a certified wanker on mic and desperately trying to make himself KWAB at every possible turn, Hangmam was considered good for his matches, his matches with Bryan were fucking great, and it wasn't until he got dragged down to feuding extensively with Atom Cole when it really started to look really bad for him.
I know some of the marks just love Cole, oh he so popular and over blaa blaa blaa but Jaaaaysus, does the visual alone of this miniature make-a-wish kid putting Page an average sized wrestler to task make this awful. They fought 4 times in tags and singles. 4!
He needed that win over Punk more than anything to bounce back from the slump and exit gracefully and being a one off without a rubber match was absurd. He went from being the champ to fighting David Finlay next week. Finlay who never wrestled in AEW before or after the match.
It took the entire sobriety of Mox to put Page even close to where he was and his not even in the title picture as of now.
