10 Shocking REAL Stories Behind Famous Wrestling Scares

What could've gone down in AEW history as yet another dream encounter to deliver on the All Elite stage very quickly turned into one of the more darker moments in the fledgling promotion's history on the back of one atmosphere-altering lariat.

But perhaps even more disturbing than the sight of Hangman Adam Page being knocked out cold on the mat for a whole minute was the all round confusion over the former AEW World Champion's condition in the minutes that followed.

Thankfully, the star fond of Cowboy Sh*t was ultimately discharged from hospital rather swiftly on the back of being diagnosed with a concussion and appeared to be in good spirits in the weeks that followed. However, the distressing reality of what Page actually went through on the night would only come to light later down the road.

As the All Elite superstar would note backstage on the December 15 edition of Dynamite, for one whole hour in the wake of being out cold in the middle of the ring Hangman could not remember his own son's name.

You wouldn't expect any wrestler to simply make this sort of mortifying and deeply personal detail up for the sake of a storyline. So, you can only imagine what sort of hell the ultimate babyface must have been going through in the aftermath of that unsettling KO.
