Paid Members Supremo Posted January 22 Paid Members Posted January 22 (edited) Almost as much as Hangman exposing himself as being an empty headed dumb fuck, the online discourse around this has depressed me no end. Evidently, a lot of pro-wrestling fans view the age consent not as a reasonable time for young people to start experimenting with others of the same age, but as a countdown clock, and provided the clock has struck midnight on someone’s sixteenth birthday it’s totally normal and okay for people in positions of authority to prey on them with alcohol. People fantasy booking Marty Scurll invading AEW because actually he did nothing wrong. Fuck off. Yet more evidence of how much Hangman and Punk have in common though. Pair of disappointing, hypocritical pricks. They’d be soul mates in another life. Edited January 22 by Supremo Quote

Maybe he doesn't post the pictures. Although when it comes to pictures he's not exactly on the ball as evidence shows. Quote
TheScarlettChad Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Less photos with nonces, more photos of him doing the good stuff, he claims to love, that would be good. Quote

There are many, many ways you can support, advocate and show solidarity - going to "many protests" is just one of them. In no way am I defending Page, who is clearly very stupid, but the broader point needs to be made and also just have a day off, will you. Quote

CavemanLynn Posted January 23 Posted January 23 The telling thing will be how Hangman reacts to those who do call him out on it. Quote
DavidB6937 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I think there'll be more arguing in this topic than there will be for Hangman. Quote
Chili Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) https://stuckness.ghost.io/your-fave-is-a-carnie/ Came across this piece on that woke Bluesky app that noted fake do gooder Adam Page visits (I heard he doesn't even really like flowers) and I thought this was a nice and understanding read about wrestlers and what they are in a way, covers a few talking points others here have brought up.

WyattSheepMask Posted February 3 Posted February 3 So Hangman Page has addressed the Photo Incident from the other week. I’ve put it in Spoiler tags due to the length of it. source: https://www.si.com/fannation/wrestling/aew/hangman-adam-page-addresses-controversial-photo-with-marty-scurll-exclusive Spoiler Despite being considered a face of goodwill by many pro wrestling fans, AEW World Trios Champion and former AEW World Champion "Hangman" Adam Page recently encountered some controversy regarding his association with a former member of The Elite. "The Villain" Marty Scurll was once a close associate with the likes of Page, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and other members of Bullet Club, all as the group would rise in prominence and eventually join forces to form All Elite Wrestling. He would help lead the creative team in Ring of Honor for a period of time, and it appeared that a jump to AEW was inevitable, but that would not ultimately come to pass. In 2020, Scurll was accused of engaging in sexual misconduct with a 16-year-old girl in the U.K. at a gathering in 2015. Scurll would claim that both parties were intoxicated, and he believed the encounter was consensual at the time (the age of consent where the alleged incident occurred is 16). Regardless, he was investigated by ROH and eventually released from his deal as head booker. He has largely remained outside of the mainstream pro wrestling scene since. In January, Scurll posted a picture with Page outside of a Cracker Barrel, prompting a swell of negativity towards Page for remaining associated with an individual accused of sexual misconduct. Speaking exclusively with The Takedown on SI on Sunday about a variety of topics, Page discussed the photo and his friendship with Scurll (the entire clip can be seen in this piece). Page noted that he spent nearly half a decade traveling the world with Scurll, and the two grew very close. He said that when the allegations against Scurll emerged, he was in disbelief. The alleged timeframe of the encounter, he said, was prior to Page becoming friendly with him. "I think when that happened, I was obviously surprised. Shocked. It didn't seem like the person that I knew," Page said. "But I mean, I knew now that it was, and I guess, I was kind of like, faced with a choice, like what to do with that information. And I reached out to him then because he had faced a lot of consequences from the public. He had lost his job from Ring of Honor. He was facing consequences from people online. So, [I] check to see how he's doing, and I remained in touch with him for, you know what, since then, [has] been six years." The two-time AEW World Champion noted that, despite the sustained relationship, he believes what Scurll is accused of having engaged in was wrong. "I guess I kind of will make a couple things clear about it. I completely recognize that what he did, his actions, are abhorrent. Disgraceful. They are. There's no excuse. I completely recognize that," he said. "I've always thought that, will always think that about his actions. And I guess as a consequence of his actions, the public has felt strongly about what he did. And for six years, I think because of those reactions, he's been unable to be a part of mainstream professional wrestling because of, you know, what the public perception would be." Page said he never intended for the photo of the two of them to be posted publicly, and had been wanting to address some of the backlash he received. "I don't want that photo to seem like some kind of endorsement, or, I have any interest whatsoever in whitewashing what he did, or any interest or intention of rehabilitating his public image," he said. "None of that is something that I've ever been interested in doing. Not now, not ever." "And I think that the consequences of his actions that he's had mostly from the public, aside from, like, harassment, I think they've been warranted. So I kind of want to make that clear." The 34-year-old Page has been recognized by wrestling fans over the years for his willingness to engage in social matters. Even in speaking with The Takedown, he made note of what he believes is an "abhorrent time" in American history, acknowledging that it's hard to go about his daily life as "government forces are kidnapping and murdering people in the street." Yet the photo with Scurll brought criticism from around social media, and he says fans are entitled to feel however they may about the situation. "If you hear all that, and you listen to all that, and you feel like maybe you wouldn't have done the same thing had you been in my shoes, or maybe you still feel uncomfortable being a fan of mine, or even if you've lost, like, the smallest amount of respect for me because of any of that, I would just want to say I completely understand that. I can respect it and accept it," he said. The Takedown on SI asked Page why, despite the graphic nature of the allegations and public response to them, he has decided to sustain a friendship with his former stablemate. He admitted that he has revisited how he feels about continued relationships since the photo emerged. "I guess who I am is, when people treat me with kindness, I try to return it," he said. "I have never really wanted to get into that. And that's more or less why I have a private relationship with him. Not out of a sense of self-preservation or shame, or something like that. But more or less, I just would never want that to be misconstrued as like an endorsement or an effort to rehabilitate someone's public image, something like that." "But I guess I've just always thought that he's still a human being, and that relationships are complicated, but they're still relationships, and he's still a human being." Quote
