10 Best Wrestling Feuds Of 2020
5. Hangman Page Vs. The Elite
More fluid and all-encompassing than the other storylines listed here, Hangman Page's alienation from The Elite informs one of AEW's most compelling character arcs since launch.
Page first let himself down at All Out 2019, when Chris Jericho felled him to become World Champion. The right move, as Hangman's vanilla babyface act wasn't connecting, though he soon found his voice as a freewheeling, beer-swilling, give-no-f*cks man of the people, getting over huge in the process. Here's the thing about people who claim to give no f*cks, though: beneath the bluster, they usually give more f*cks than anyone else, as was the case with Adam Page.
Failures and bad decisions have burned each of Hangman's personal relationships. The Young Bucks (and specifically Nick Jackson) were severed first, thus providing the storyline meat for Revolution, before Kenny Omega was alienated when his partner lost their Tag Team Titles. At Full Gear 2020, they engaged in a barnstorming opener that hit hard and fast, but still gave the impression they were leaving gas in the tank for a later date.
This isn't a traditional feud in that it hasn't had a traditional blow-off match. Someday, that'll come, but the issues between the 'Anxious Millennial Cowboy' and his brothers is raw and real.
