Hangman Page Thanks Dark Order For Helping Him Grow And Pushing Him
After splitting with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) on AEW television, Hangman Page was a man on his own until he was lifted up by The Dark Order.
Alongside the Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alan Angels, John Silver, Preston Vance, Alex Reynolds, Stu Grayson, Colt Cabana, & Anna Jay), Hangman would find friendship and go on to win the AEW World Title.
Taking to Instagram, Hangman reflected on how much Dark Order has meant to him and his personal and professional growth.
“After you get famous, you stop growing. You don’t have to.”
After being an even small part of a movement with the Elite and our subsequent falling out I was a afraid of stagnation. I was happy, fulfilled, and getting a good paycheck; but without anyone to push me further.
During Brodie’s illness I was scared to move forward with these guys, but we all still felt it was the right thing to do.
I could never say enough about all of the Dark Order.
John’s jokes effortlessly turn a bad day into a hilarious one. Alex is my dad friend; our sons were born five days apart and it’s been so grounding to have someone on the same ride as me. Uno self-deprecates in a way I can relate to, only wishing he saw in himself what I see in him. Ten for working tirelessly and covering for my sorry ass at the latest possible notice. Anna for never hesitating to get in on a good dick joke and be one of the boys. Stu for never being complacent with his spot and always wanting for more. Five for overcoming having such a small penis and gaining the confidence to bet on himself in a way I have never had to. Colt for being a fountain of wisdom and saying to me the most self-affirming words I’ve ever heard.
I owe a lot of my career to Matt, Nick, and Kenny. I owe as much to these guys too. Thank you for helping me continue to grow.
Hangman teamed with Silver & Reynolds in the AEW Trios Title Tournament, losing in the finals to Omega & the Bucks.
Hangman was part of the Tournament of Champions to crown a new AEW World Champion, but lost in the first round to Bryan Danielson.
