10 Recent Wrestling Moments That Shook The World
5. Hangman Page Is Knocked Out Cold
Watching anyone get legitimately hurt in the middle of the ring is always a distressing experience.
But with the knowledge fans and performers now possess on concussions and how serious these blows to the head can become if not handled with genuine care, the visual of Hangman Page getting knocked out cold towards the end of last year was enough to completely rock fans around the globe.
The second Jon Moxley's lariat connected with the Anxious Millennial Cowboy, folks in attendance and watching at home knew this was far from some typically world class selling from the former AEW World Champion. But in such a dark moment of shock it must be said that AEW handled the worrying situation excellently, quickly bringing the match to an end before treating the concussed star and rushing him off to hospital to be examined.
Knowing how concussions can entirely alter the trajectory of a wrestler's careers, with fellow AEW star Adam Cole suffering a severe concussion and being forced to sit on the sidelines for much of 2022, people understandably feared the worst as Hangman lay motionless back in October.
Thankfully, Page is now back doing what he does best and this real-life scare has since been brilliantly and carefully infused into the rivals' ongoing on-screen war.
