#4 AEW's Bryan Danielson says Hangman Adam Page reminds him of Stone Cold Steve Austin
Trending
While speaking with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, AEW star Bryan Danielson recalled watching his on-screen rival Hangman Page thrive, both from an in-ring and character perspective.
Danielson lauded Page's brawler style of wrestling. He added that The Anxious Millennial Cowboy persona reminds him of legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin. But on the flip side, the former WWE star quipped of Hangman Page's character being somewhat alcohol-addicted:
"Even while I was in WWE, I kept an eye on talent, I watched 'Hangman' in [other promotions]. It’s crazy to see how much he’s grown, both from an in-ring perspective and a character perspective. I love his updated brawler style of wrestling. To me, he wrestles a modernized version of the way Steve Austin wrestled, and that cowboy persona reminds a lot of people of Steve Austin," said Bryan Danielson. But in 2021, you can’t come in and be just like Steve Austin. He’s developed this nuanced cowboy character with a drinking problem," said Danielson.
Page's way of drinking and bashing beer often resembles Steve Austin's persona from the Attitude era.
Yet, the 30-year-old star still has a long way to go before reaching anywhere near the level of The Texas Rattlesnake.
#3 Kyle O'Reilly could soon be on his way to joining AEW
Kyle O'Reilly and Johnny Gargano's next wrestling destination has become the most talked-about topics these days, especially since they've gained free agent status after letting their WWE contracts expire.
Andrew Zarian of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently reported that as per a source within Vince McMahon's promotion, either Gargano or O'Reilly is a 'done deal' with All Elite Wrestling.
It's worth noting that Adam Cole has teased giving a special 'Christmas' present to The Young Bucks and Bobby Fish this week. There's slight speculation that Kyle O'Reilly could turn out to be the latest addition to the AEW roster.
Even the star himself has fueled those presumptions by posting a cryptic message on Twitter.
