  • Page, along with the rest of The Elite, singing "Line in the Sand" by Motörhead (the theme of Evolution) a cappella on Being the Elite Episode 61. At the end of the video, it shows them recording it.
    • At the end of the aforementioned segment, Page takes off his shirt for no apparent reason.
  • Page claims to have been forced to watch all three hours of Raw, then SmackDown Live, then 205 Live. The first two don't bother the rest of The Elite too much, but once Page says 205 Live, it prompts outrage and motivation to retaliate.
  • In AEW, the on-screen graphics for each entering wrestler have a brief fact attached to them. In the case of Adam Page's entrance fact, it has become a Running Gag.
    • On the December 11, 2019 episode of Dynamite? "Drank a bottle of whiskey at home alone last Wednesday".
      @theAdamPage: who did this
    • The next week: "IDK make it say something like Happyee Hawlidays".
    • Page joins the commentary booth for a match later in the same episode mentioned above, and the name card "fact" this time? "Has been drinking". This one in particular caught on enough to become a shirt!
      @theAdamPage: come on, you gotta be kidding me
    • Not even teaming up with Kenny Omega stopped Page from falling victim to the joking nameplates, when on the February 13, 2020 episode of Dynamite, the nameplate said, "Days as champions: 22. Days Sober: Omega - 13,268 Hangman - 0"
    • The following episode pits Page and Omega against the Lucha Brothers and gives us this gem: "¿Cómo se dice Yeehaw en español?" ("How do you say Yeehaw in Spanish?")
    • Page's usual nameplate tomfoolery took proceedings up to eleven after the COVID-19 Pandemic by not only having the fact, "Social distancing since November" but even changing his name to "Adam 'Handwash' Page"
  • When Omega comes out to rescue The Young Bucks from a post-match attack, Page walks down with a cup of beer in his hand to assist. He gets on the ring apron and hands his cup to Nick and after hitting the Buckshot then asks for his beer back. A new meaning for "Hold my Beer."
  • The main event of Double or Nothing 2020 saw The Elite facing off against the Inner Circle in a Stadium Stampede match a.k.a. the funniest thing you will ever see in professional wrestling! For Page's parts:
    • After some brawling, Sammy Guevara gets up from a bump, somewhat dazed, then turns around and freezes as Hangman Page makes his arrival at last... riding on the back of an actual horse. He sets his sights on Sammy and Sammy runs for his life, with Hangman and the horse chasing him off the grounds and into the stadium's interior.
    • After Sammy gives Hangman the slip, Hangman rides his horse aimlessly around the halls of the stadium for about ten minutes, oblivious to the fact that Sammy has made his way back to the action in the field. Jim Ross on commentary delivers a great line just as Hangman gives up, dismounts his horse, and wanders into the bar instead.
      JR: If I ever get lost, Tony...
      Tony Schiavone: Yeah?
      JR: Please do not send Hangman Page to look for me.
    • Jake Hager finds Page drinking in the bar, and after it briefly looks like the two are going to have a quiet drink together, it instead turns into a bar brawl, complete with Page breaking a pool cue over Hager's back and, in a spot that Vince Verhei of The Bryan & Vinny Show called Page's "dream spot", Hager slamming Page on the bar, dragging him down to the other end and throwing him off, leading Excalibur to quote The Big Lebowski:
      Excalibur: Hangman Page finding out sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you.
    • When Kenny Omega arrives to reinforce Page against Hager, the two double team the big man and finish him off by having Kenny bend over so Page can use his back to flip over for the Buckshot Lariat. With Hager finally downed, Page goes behind the bar again and pours himself a glass of whisky and Kenny a glass of milk, which they cling together in a toast before drinking (with some disgusted fans noting that this caused some of Kenny's milk to splash into Page's whisky).
    • Near the end of the match, Chris Jericho has finally been taken out by the combined efforts of The Young Bucks and is lying unconscious on the field, only for Page to idly stroll out from the back with a line marker and run it up over Jericho's body, leaving a line of chalk right down his middle and across his face.
  • Everything about his press release announcing his entering of the #1 Contender tournament. Read the entire thing here, it's too hilarious to pick apart.
  • The press releases are back, and the champ has a couple of things he'd like to say, including but not limited to: declaring November 17th (the first Dynamite show he's champion for, in his home state of Virginia) "National Cowboy Shit Day", planning to study the vegan diet to understand his next challenger, begging not to fight Wardlow "and his big muscle tits" again, and not intending on doing any more podcasts as long as he lives.
  • The compliments from the graphics team during Full Gear 2021 didn't last long; on the following episode of Dynamite they were back at it with "Unnecessary Cheap Pop" during Hangman's entrance.
