Hangman Page on Why the AEW House Rules Shows Are a Good Opportunity for Younger Talent

– During a recent interview with WFXR FOX, AEW star and former World Champion Hangman Page discussed AEW’s upcoming House Rules live event scheduled for the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Virginia on May 13. Below are some highlights:

Hangman Page on having family in the area for the event: “My Mom’s trying to get everybody, everybody and their cousin tickets. But it’s really cool to be able to wrestle, perform in front of family, friends, people that I haven’t seen in years. I have some family who literally live right behind the Salem Civic Center. So it’s really cool to be that close to home in many ways. Very cool.”

On growing up a fan of The Hardys: “My favorites were probably the Hardy Boys, Matt, and Jeff, my absolute favorites. Their dad was a tobacco farmer, same as my dad. They came up doing backyard wrestling and stuff. We had just a lot in common, our backstory, and I related to them a lot and they were great in the ring. So those were my absolute two favorites.”

His thoughts on AEW’s House Rules shows: “They’re a good opportunity for younger guys to learn. They’re a good opportunity for guys like me to let our hair down, have fun, not worry about the constraints of television. So I’m really excited about that. It’s a good opportunity to visit somewhere like Roanoke, like Salem. Maybe it’s a test and if it does really well, maybe we come back with TV the next time.”
