25 Worst Wrestling Moments Of 2024
9. Hangman Hides
Christian Cage and Jay White weren't having a particularly engaging match on the October 16th Dynamite when Kip Sabian and Hangman Page arrived early for planned run-ins that had to be parked in hideously awkward kayfabe-smashing fashion.
This was bad enough - Cage is one of the safest hands in the entire industry and White was red hot coming off the back of his pay-per-view blinder with Page just days earlier. The contest not delivering wasn't on the proverbial bingo card, but few will remember that when reflecting on it in the years to come. They'll instead remember Cage visibly telling Sabian "not yet" and to "go" when he's a full five minutes early for his run in, and Hangman lying on the ground now early for his sneak attack after being sent out prematurely too.
At this point, they've both got to wait until the wrestlers get to the right point when they, predictably, run through the spots there were about to do before the original wave-away. It's too funny to hate, and was too silly to leave a mark on the talents, but was one of the year's biggest outfront snafus from either company.
