Dutch Mantell recently shared his honest thoughts about Hangman Page and Adam Cole's match from this week's AEW Rampage.
Both men went to war for the AEW Championship in a Texas Deathmatch that featured several brutal and memorable spots. After a back-and-forth battle, Hangman Page took down Adam Cole with a Jedi on the outside with barbed wire wrapped around his head, resulting in him getting counted out.
Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell pointed out the spot where Page attempted a moonsault on the outside, only to receive a perfectly-timed Superkick from Cole. The former WWE manager stated that both performers were trying to do too much in the match and suggested toning down the risk factor.
Although the move was spot-on, there was a tiny margin for error. Mantell believed it could have led to an unforeseen injury:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"Trust me, guys, somebody could get hurt doing this stuff. They are trying to do too much. God bless them. I hope they are doing only what they want to do. But you have to admire Hangman Page for the perfect time there [Moonsault]. If you miss it by even 1/10th of a second, it could be bad news." (24:47 - 25:55)
