History YMMV / AdamPage

* DesignatedHero: His feud with Wrestling/JonMoxley in 2022-2023 initially was because Page wanting to exact revenge on Moxley for giving him a concussion during their match in October 2022. While Mox and the Blackpool Combat Club eventually turned heel, Page on the other rejoins his old friends, the Elite, effectively abandoning the Dark Order, the very same team who had his back during the lowest moments of his life for his more popular but jerkass friends. The Dark Order confronted him for this but not only did Page refused to apologize, he teamed up with the Young Bucks to defeat his former allies. Following the match, the Dark Order abandoned their former allies to be beaten up by the BCC, which was treated as a heel turn for the Dark Order. In addition, while the BCC were indeed a group of ruthless brutes, the Elite were practically the same in brutality and often resorted in cheating in their matches yet they were treated as the Face of the feud.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: During the ''WebVideo/BeingTheElite'' cast's time as the pseudo-babyface focus of Bullet Club, Hangman Page was more-or-less unanimously accepted as the [[LoveToHate hateable dickhead]] that ensured the ''BTE'' cast was still connected to the core heelish BC in more than name. Then March of 2018 happened, with ''BTE'' running a storyline centered around Hangman being jealous of Wrestling/JoeyRyan's "penis power" gag at the same time and with the same persona in which he did a WorkedShoot at a press conference calling Wrestling/JayWhite a bad IWGP United States Champion because most of his wrestling is in Japan instead of America. Jay, for his part, [[ShutUpKirk ate Hangman for lunch]] [[LampshadeHanging by calling out every ridiculous element of the drama dividing Bullet Club Elite]] while asserting that Page was little more than a lackey to Cody and The Young Bucks in the process. The two feuds culminated with Page putting over both Joey's penis and The Switchblade in the end. This was the point where opinions on Hangman became split down the middle between Bullet Club (nay) and Elite (yay) loyalists, much like the other Elite members and associates before him.

* RefugeInAudacity: The "Where's Hangman?" storyline, which crosses over with AdultFear. [[spoiler: In September 2017, WWE sent a legitimate cease-and-desist order to Wrestling/TheYoungBucks over the Bucks' use of the "Too Sweet" hand gesture. They spun the incident into segments where they would get bleeped trying to use WWE catchphrases or references. An unseen storyline "WWE stooge" would retaliate with aggressive letters, then escalated the taunts by kidnapping Hangman Page at the end of Episode 69. Episodes 70 and 71 saw the BTE crew worried sick over Hangman's whereabouts. In Episode 72, Page escaped the stooge's capture after the stooge taunted Wrestling/KennyOmega using a voice box.]]

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Hangman leveraging his AEW World championship match against Wrestling/KennyOmega to try and get Wrestling/TheDarkOrder a shot at Wrestling/TheYoungBucks' AEW Tag Team titles.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Page was initially seen in AEW as, while not necessarily bad, a bland, underwhelming choice to push for the World Championship compared to others in the tournament, especially since he made it to the finals against eventual winner Wrestling/ChrisJericho. Then came his team with Kenny Omega, his feud with the Young Bucks which included a fantastic match at ''Revolution'', and retooling his character into a FunctionalAddict "anxious millenial cowboy", which turned him to one of the most loved faces in the company.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Originally Hangman Page was more-or-less unanimously accepted as the [[LoveToHate hateable dickhead]] that ensured the pseudo-babyface ''BTE'' cast was still connected to the core heelish Bullet Club in more than name, but March 2018 cast some serious doubt into that assertion. Not only did he engage in a feud with Wrestling/JoeyRyan through ''WebVideo/BeingTheElite'' which incorporated Ryan's controversial "penis power" gag spot ''into a storyline connected to the lore of Wrestling/NewJapanProWrestling'', an act seen by some as a step ''too'' far into indulging the whimsical off-color humor that Omega and the Bucks like, his attempt to rally the US fanbase with an ironically Wrestling/RomanReigns/Wrestling/JohnCena-esque false-shoot promo against "Switchblade" Jay White as a United States Champion was summarily [[ShutUpKirk shut down by White's completely kayfabe response]] [[LampshadeHanging calling out the ridiculousness]] of the issues in Bullet Club and Page's own status in such as a lackey to the Bucks

* CrossesTheLineTwice:
** The storyline with Hangman Page and Wrestling/JoeyRyan. [[spoiler: He attacked Joey, who seemingly died from the injuries. Page was guilt-ridden, to the point where he would attack other wrestlers who asked questions, and the boots he wore on the night of the attack started talking to him. Stephen Amell was framed for the attack. This was resolved at the ALL IN pay-per-view when Joey "recovered" to get back at Page.]]
** One of the plotlines in Episode 144 of BTE gets very dark very fast. [[spoiler: Matt Jackson's objection to AEW's signing of Michael Nakazawa escalates quickly as he hallucinates The Elite wearing t-shirts with Michael's name on it. Then Alex Jebailey, organizer of the CEO fighting game tournament, offers to fight Nakazawa in a hardcore match in response to an insult from episode 143. Matt's "obsession" gets very dark when he asks if Jebailey is willing to "end [Nakazawa's] life". Jebailey thankfully deflects the question.]]
