10 Most Creative Wrestlers On The Planet Right Now
8. Hangman Page
As the crisis unfolded, Hangman Page made the call to stay at home at its peak.
He confirmed this in a tremendous homemade video, in which he performed household tasks, chores and escapes - he brushed his teeth, mowed the lawn, sank some brews - with the colour spray effects from the AEW Dynamite cold open accentuating every mundane action. This was an hysterical and quite pointed visual gag because the absurdity of the clashing images revealed how equally incongruous its opposite scene - empty arena wrestling - actually is.
Hangman Page is banter. His lower third running gags allowed him to get his personality and storylines over before he'd even lifted a forearm or opened his mouth; like a true artist, he recognised that everywhere is a canvas. With his "Social distancing since November" gag in March, Page did more to explain his initial departure from the Elite than AEW itself.
There's also the whole creative fusion of heavyweight power and modern explosiveness thing that gets him over as the classic rugged badass in a workrate world.
Hangman Page is Woke Torino and he rules.
