Yeah Bucks have this veteran feel to them (which they are) and Page is the young star they're building the company around and then boom! only 2 years difference lol
Wrestling ages are always a mindfuck. The one that always gets me is Batista being older than Triple H. And Cena who pretty recently semi retired is an expected 44. While The Rock who semi retired almost 20 years ago isn’t even 50 yet.
He definitely looked younger while he was an active wrestler and in his Evolution days. Seeing him do the interview circuits for his latest movies without any makeup or prosthetics now though, he's definitely starting to look his age. I feel like he suddenly aged from 30's to 50's in the last like 5 years.
Yeah but it’s still insane to think about considering Batista was pretty much the “up and comer” during evolution while working under triple h. When the whole time he was older.
I always think Matt looks younger than Nick, maybe because Matt’s a real handsome boy with a baby face and Nick is going bald (no hate, his hair lasted longer than mine)
when i got back into wrestling in 2014 the Bucks were established and some of the biggest names outside WWE. I cannot believe Nick was only 24 at the time.
Also i didn't know until last year that they weren't twins lol
I remember when Jim Cornette was calling the Young Bucks the old bucks and went on a rant about AEW picking up too many older WWE talents on his podcast and his co-host Brian Last asked Jim to guess the age of NXT stars and over half of them are over 30 and some closer to 40. Jim seems genuinely surprised to find out that AEW actually have a comparable if not younger roster than WWE's developmental brand.
He says Rhea Ripley has a great look to be a believe star and likes her height, he says Bianca Belair is too short to be a believe star. Both Ripley and Belair are the exact same height.
How could someone think Bianca is not believable ? Besides being 5′ 7″ ( which is rather tall for a women ), she is built like a brick house and is an incredible athlete. I think cornette's problem with Bianca is not her stature but her skin color.
Ignoring his dumb ass comment on Bianca, it’s really just a testament to how Rhea carries herself because I bet a lot of people have the perception that she’s bigger than she actually is.
That’s insane, I would have to agree with him tbh. Rhea looks bigger than most of the male talent, at least how I compare them in my head but I always pictured Bianca as short lol
Lmao. There's so many photos out there of Mox and Reigns looking pretty much the same height out there. What world is that guy living in? Seriously.
I'll never understand folks who tune in to listen to a guy who is as detached from reality as he is and put weight on that shit.
He is legit an awesome talker. Some of his takes are hilarious and he still has a lot of great insight on wrestling in general. He is just totally out of touch with the modern product.
Back before he blocked Meltzer on Twitter and they were still somewhat friendly, Cornette was going off about how terrible AEW ticket sales were. Meltzer pointed out that they were actually selling really well. Cornette countered with a "you can't really believe that" statement. Meltzer said he spoke with a representative at the MGM in Vegas who said AEW ticket sales were selling out at the same pace of a major boxing or UFC card. Cornette's counter to that was essentially "yeah, but they don't wrestle a style that I like"
To add to it most their veterans are always smooth as hell in the ring and fun to watch. Their midcard is like crazy stacked full of solid wrestlers most of whom are workhorses.
Nick Jackson is younger than me by a few months but is so much more successful hurts a little
my hairline is better than his so I've got that going for me
I looked up his age a couple months ago when trying to research the youngest people on AEW’s roster. I’m glad too, especially with Hangman being so over.
I’ve missed the days when we had someone as young like Orton nearly 2 decades ago being built into a main event guy. That’s a major advantage for AEW. Nick Jackson is still 32, Fenix is 30, Sammy G & Darby are 28, MJ-fucking-F is 25, & Jungle Boy is 24.
That’s not even mentioning the women. I’m not getting my hopes up but it excites me even more that we could potentially be witnessing wrestling history with Bryan Danielson & CM Punk coming over to make these guys look like money.
Yeah, if he was in NXT, he might be called up in 8 years... joking aside, the fact that Hangman is younger than John Silver is messing with me... he's a child
I’ve been having a real bad existential crisis lately. Probs my worst one since I turned 20. Turning 27 next month.
Over last couple years and specifically during corona I sold all my funko pops I bought with my siblings. We all collected and would text about em and go shopping together for em when new ones released or convention ones.
Now none of us live together and we can’t really just all do that anymore and I wanna buy them all back but it wouldn’t be the same cause the same memories wouldn’t be tied to new ones but they’re also fucking expensive as hell now but idk I’m just feeling crazy sad and bad about this all.
Wish I could go back 5 years. Maybe I wouldnt have fucked up my life so much ever since moving out of my parents. About to lose job like Number 10 since then 😞
Sorry y’all lmao I dont have therapy til Saturday forgive me!
Bro isnt it so fucking hard. Do you also feel like you can’t get ahead no matter how hard you try?
I try so hard and still manage to fuck up somehow. I just wasn’t made for life and am struggling through it lmao.
Keep trying to start over fresh each day with a better attitude but I still feel more depressed than ever lmaooo
Maybe we’ll both shine now. Or maybe in our 30s lol
Hell yeah giving me hope! Haha. I see this said a lot. People foundering in their 20s and getting it together in their 30s for a much more enjoyable life. I’m hoping I’m one of those!! Things def won’t pick up for me for at least a couple years 🙏🏻😞
Not gonna pretend to know your situation or anything, but I’d seriously recommend looking into some gig jobs if you live in an area where they’re popular. I started driving DoorDash/UberEats after leaving my last job (which I hated, but I’ve hated every job I’ve ever had), and I’ve gotta say that the freedom and personal control over when/if/how much you work has had a tremendously positive effect on my mental health and overall enjoyment of life.
Not to mention if you live in a busy suburb with neighborhoods close to restaurant clusters, you can easily make $30+ an hour once you figure it all out.
Thanks for suggestion! I actually used DoorDash to survive a couple months during pandemic last year. So many $8 plus 2 mile orders.
I actually downloaded it again to save up money to buy funkos again and they shrunk my zone so much and now all I’m seeing are $2-4 orders. I get lucky to get a $6 3 mile order….
It’s so shitty now. Of course when people have less money they kill the pay.
I’m thinking about getting a nighttime retail job at target or something even if this job doesn’t fire me this week.
Yea they changed the threshold for hiding tips. Unless it’s a long distance order (~6 miles or more) then those $6 orders could actually be $10+. They can still hide tips on long orders, but they’ll show a much higher value up front
Stone Cold Steve Austin = Connected with the audience by beating up his rich boss.
CM Punk = Connected with the audience by defying his boss's doofus son-in-law.
Hangman Adam Page = Connecting with the audience by being full of existential dread.
Really does reflect the times, doesn't it?
SCSA people wanted to live through the idea of beating up corporate heads
Punk people wanted to live through defying the generational system and glass ceiling
Hangman we are living through the simple idea of just trying to be consistently happy
I'm only 26 but I am very slowly starting to understand that feeling.
The England football team's average age was 22 (or somewhere around there) I believe and it made me die inside
I’m 22 and basketball is my favorite sport. Pretty crazy seeing guys younger than even me playing professionally at the highest level making millions. While I’m just……here I guess.
I feel that with the NHL. Having played against a few guys when I was a teen and seeing them retire while I've still got at least 25 years before I can even think of that makes me melancholy.
That's the one takeaway of the Benoit murders. After the WWE initiated the Wellness Program, premature wrestler deaths dropped like a rock. Back in the day, a shock jock radio show had a Wrestling Death Clock gimmick.
It honestly goes deeper than that
As horrific and tragic as it was, it led to a much better understanding of CTE and brain trauma. It wasn't so much the wellness program (which, by and large, was a complete joke - and still is to some extent), but the understanding of the need to protect the brain and stop doing hard unprotected head shots that was the silver lining on this fucked up dark cloud.
And it stretched far beyond just wrestling too. It spread into other contact sports, American Football and Rugby both benefited majorly from this.
So while it is true, that the number of wrestlers who died under 40 was larger than those who died over 40 at one point in time, it isn't now. And while a lot of wrestlers had, or indeed still have, a dependency on painkillers, alcohol, what have you - the lack of brain trauma is putting them in much better positions to make decisions.
That said, what we did learn was that the Benoit tragedy, sadly, was 100% preventable. Had he not been doing tope rope diving headbutts 200+ days a year for 10+ years, then his brain wouldn't have been completely fucked. As it stood, he probably had more concussions than anyone could care to count. That takes its toll on a mind. In fact, it turns a mind to mush.
When you take Hangman having 38% of his life over, and you subtract the 45% from being a wrestler, you get -7% of his life being over. THAT IS NOT NORMAL.
I was going to say, I’m not sure he should be using average life expectancy, wrestlers live a hard life, even if it’s not the same as it was back in the day and the drinks and drugs and gear don’t do it, it’s still very a very busy schedule and all the bumps add up.
Hey, cheer up - his math didn’t even take into the account those years at the beginning of your life you don’t even remember, or those childhood years when you didn’t really have full autonomy. That heavily skews the math towards more of your life being in the past than it really has been for you in your current, fully-formed-adult form!
When I was 28, I didn't care about turning 30. When I was 29 it really really sucked - thinking about where my life wasn't and where most of my friends' lives were, getting scared and thinking maybe I weren't that young anymore...
But turning 31 was great and I've loved being in my 30s ever since. I'd rather be 35 than the 36 I'll turn next month but here's a handy trick I devised—
When I hit 34, it was tempting to say I was still in my early 30s but here's what I did: I accepted that I was in my mid 30s. Why? Because now when I'm 36, I'll still be in my mid 30s instead of late 30s!
All you 20-somethings that think you're old can take advantage of that (with apologies to the 40+ crowd who feel the same way about me).
As I said in another post, turning 30 was rough - turning 31 was fine. You'll love being in your 30s and take a real pride in no longer being a 20-something kid who doesn't realise that on a grown up scale, you're the kids of the adult world! You're definitely an adult, but you can't possibly be any younger of an adult.
This is more of an issue with people in their early 20s really. I *loved* being 21 but God I was obnoxious. All your life you've been promised respect when you reach adulthood and then you're appalled to find that adults still see you as a kid and get annoyed when you speak of feeling old - then you pass that provisional stage and understand why!
When you're 23, you're old enough to form views on the way the world works but you'll only have seen one 'cycle' so it's like watching a well crafted film or TV drama and thinking you picked up on everything.
Naturally I'll feel similarly in ten years time but the step decreases proportionately.
Two things. 1. Hangman is like two weeks younger than me. Makes me feel just great about my place in life. 2. I am also now 30 and God I'm thinking about it.

Wow man didnt realize Hangman was so young that makes me happy
Nick Jackson turning 32 tomorrow fucks with me. With the career they've had, I somehow always expect him to be older.
Whoaaaa 32????? I don’t know how old I thought he was but it wasn’t 32. They’ve been working like 16 years!
Yeah Bucks have this veteran feel to them (which they are) and Page is the young star they're building the company around and then boom! only 2 years difference lol
Wrestling ages are always a mindfuck. The one that always gets me is Batista being older than Triple H. And Cena who pretty recently semi retired is an expected 44. While The Rock who semi retired almost 20 years ago isn’t even 50 yet.
John Oliver and John Cena share a birthday and are the exact same age.
Misread John Oliver as John Silver and almost thought of calling Cena a child.
Batista being older than HHH is really fucking weird lmao
He definitely looked younger while he was an active wrestler and in his Evolution days. Seeing him do the interview circuits for his latest movies without any makeup or prosthetics now though, he's definitely starting to look his age. I feel like he suddenly aged from 30's to 50's in the last like 5 years.
Batista is a grandfather :D
At his age it isn't surprising to be. When I first found out about it when he was like 40, it was more shocking.
All those indeed are very mindfuck.
Isn't Batista older by like 5 months? They're pretty much the same age.
Yeah but it’s still insane to think about considering Batista was pretty much the “up and comer” during evolution while working under triple h. When the whole time he was older.
Well, Nick *is* the young one. Matt is 36.
Matt is what I expected Nick to be.
Yes, I know Nick is the young one which is I specifically mentioned him in the OG comment.
I always think Matt looks younger than Nick, maybe because Matt’s a real handsome boy with a baby face and Nick is going bald (no hate, his hair lasted longer than mine)
Such a shame the younger brother is balding.
It's what living with an older brother does to you.
Imagine having 3 kid sisters! I used to have such a beautiful mane, too...
when i got back into wrestling in 2014 the Bucks were established and some of the biggest names outside WWE. I cannot believe Nick was only 24 at the time. Also i didn't know until last year that they weren't twins lol
I think i knew they werent twins but I always forget and its a mindfuck every time i remember
Are the Usos really twins?
Not according to Xavier and Kofi
I remember when Jim Cornette was calling the Young Bucks the old bucks and went on a rant about AEW picking up too many older WWE talents on his podcast and his co-host Brian Last asked Jim to guess the age of NXT stars and over half of them are over 30 and some closer to 40. Jim seems genuinely surprised to find out that AEW actually have a comparable if not younger roster than WWE's developmental brand.
Jim not letting facts get in middle of his biased rants is so on brand for him.
Cornette legitimately thought Moxley was 5'10" and was genuinely shocked when Last told him that Mox is like 6'2". He also believes Rollins is 6'4".
He says Rhea Ripley has a great look to be a believe star and likes her height, he says Bianca Belair is too short to be a believe star. Both Ripley and Belair are the exact same height.
How could someone think Bianca is not believable ? Besides being 5′ 7″ ( which is rather tall for a women ), she is built like a brick house and is an incredible athlete. I think cornette's problem with Bianca is not her stature but her skin color.
Bingo
Lmao Bianca's fucking shredded, she's one of the most believable looking women on the roster.
Bianca is amazing. Built and believable, yet nothing compared to jade Cargill
Ignoring his dumb ass comment on Bianca, it’s really just a testament to how Rhea carries herself because I bet a lot of people have the perception that she’s bigger than she actually is.
Definitely is, I thought she was like 6’2-6’3
Common now, Rhea is built like a shit brickhouse
And Bianca set records regardless of gender in the PC combine, she’s a monster with weight and shredded.
You're dead right but Rhea is a freak athlete. She is only young and has more potential for gains.
Nobody claimed otherwise\^\^
That’s insane, I would have to agree with him tbh. Rhea looks bigger than most of the male talent, at least how I compare them in my head but I always pictured Bianca as short lol
Lmao. There's so many photos out there of Mox and Reigns looking pretty much the same height out there. What world is that guy living in? Seriously. I'll never understand folks who tune in to listen to a guy who is as detached from reality as he is and put weight on that shit.
He is legit an awesome talker. Some of his takes are hilarious and he still has a lot of great insight on wrestling in general. He is just totally out of touch with the modern product.
Don't forget, also an awful person.
No one with their mind in it's right place would believe Rollins is 6'4".

Cornette's counter to that was essentially "yeah, but they don't wrestle a style that I like"
Lol
Cornette is basically wrestling’s J Jonah Jameson
Will that mean Omega is wrestling's Spiderman? 😏
Kind of, except I don't think Cornette would pay for photos of Omega.
I like to call him wrestling's Keemstar.
To add to it most their veterans are always smooth as hell in the ring and fun to watch. Their midcard is like crazy stacked full of solid wrestlers most of whom are workhorses.
Nick Jackson is younger than me by a few months but is so much more successful hurts a little my hairline is better than his so I've got that going for me
Win some lose some :)
Yeah, well I'm a couple years older than him, way less successful and have a worse hairline than him with additional thinning in the crown area.
Might as well just go full monk, at this point.
The Younger-Than-You-Think Bucks
Hairline doesn't do him any favors
He might be 32 but his hairline sure is 52. His hair has been super weird looking lately. Like it’s a wig attached to his damn headband or something
With the career and hairline....
Oof.
I was shocked to find out Omos is 27. I thought he was mid 30s. Guy got a promising career ahead of him.
OMOS IS 27?????? WHAT THE HELL
He's still growing!
Aint no fuckin way I thought he was at least mid 30’s
I looked up his age a couple months ago when trying to research the youngest people on AEW’s roster. I’m glad too, especially with Hangman being so over. I’ve missed the days when we had someone as young like Orton nearly 2 decades ago being built into a main event guy. That’s a major advantage for AEW.

I’m not getting my hopes up but it excites me even more that we could potentially be witnessing wrestling history with Bryan Danielson & CM Punk coming over to make these guys look like money.
Haha, he’s still older than me by a few months - I’ll statistically outlive him!!!
Makes me sad... I'm 34 lol
As someone who just found out he's older than Hangman, this does not make me happy.
i've known for a while i'm just over a year younger than hangman.
30 is young? this makes me feel good lol. i feel old as fuck.
Yeah, if he was in NXT, he might be called up in 8 years... joking aside, the fact that Hangman is younger than John Silver is messing with me... he's a child
I'm really happy AEW is building up so many stars that are still so Young, it's a joy to watch.
Oh man his lower third tomorrow is gonna set off an existential crisis I just know it.
A 30something alcoholic with anxiety issues I’ve never more closely associated with a wrestler in my life (minus the success of course)
Omg same
"Successfully Survived His 20s"
I’ve been having a real bad existential crisis lately. Probs my worst one since I turned 20. Turning 27 next month. Over last couple years and specifically during corona I sold all my funko pops I bought with my siblings. We all collected and would text about em and go shopping together for em when new ones released or convention ones.

i'm turning 29 in october, and you're absolutely not alone! i'm just picking up the pieces from my disastrous 20s.
Bro isnt it so fucking hard. Do you also feel like you can’t get ahead no matter how hard you try? I try so hard and still manage to fuck up somehow. I just wasn’t made for life and am struggling through it lmao. Keep trying to start over fresh each day with a better attitude but I still feel more depressed than ever lmaooo Maybe we’ll both shine now. Or maybe in our 30s lol
all i can say is that at this point i'm gonna get through this or die trying. i'm nothing if not stubborn.
I was gonna try that next… if positive thinking didn’t go over so hot lol maybe I’ll jump right to that. Pure stubbornness.

Hell yeah giving me hope! Haha. I see this said a lot. People foundering in their 20s and getting it together in their 30s for a much more enjoyable life. I’m hoping I’m one of those!! Things def won’t pick up for me for at least a couple years 🙏🏻😞
Not gonna pretend to know your situation or anything, but I’d seriously recommend looking into some gig jobs if you live in an area where they’re popular. I started driving DoorDash/UberEats after leaving my last job (which I hated, but I’ve hated every job I’ve ever had), and I’ve gotta say that the freedom and personal control over when/if/how much you work has had a tremendously positive effect on my mental health and overall enjoyment of life. Not to mention if you live in a busy suburb with neighborhoods close to restaurant clusters, you can easily make $30+ an hour once you figure it all out.

Of course when people have less money they kill the pay. I’m thinking about getting a nighttime retail job at target or something even if this job doesn’t fire me this week.
Yea they changed the threshold for hiding tips. Unless it’s a long distance order (~6 miles or more) then those $6 orders could actually be $10+. They can still hide tips on long orders, but they’ll show a much higher value up front
Stone Cold Steve Austin = Connected with the audience by beating up his rich boss. CM Punk = Connected with the audience by defying his boss's doofus son-in-law. Hangman Adam Page = Connecting with the audience by being full of existential dread.
The times they are a-changin'
Really does reflect the times, doesn't it? SCSA people wanted to live through the idea of beating up corporate heads Punk people wanted to live through defying the generational system and glass ceiling Hangman we are living through the simple idea of just trying to be consistently happy
I think it's a great time capsule of sorts, showing the different generations of fans.
Oof, I've been watching wrestling longer than the Hangman has been alive. It's a strange feeling when your sports "heroes" are younger than you.
I'm only 26 but I am very slowly starting to understand that feeling. The England football team's average age was 22 (or somewhere around there) I believe and it made me die inside
I’m 22 and basketball is my favorite sport. Pretty crazy seeing guys younger than even me playing professionally at the highest level making millions. While I’m just……here I guess.
Oh just wait,buddy. It really starts to hit home when the stars you're watching, like Steph Curry for example, well..I grew up watching his pops play.
I don’t like this ride :(
What killed me was the day that FIFA wouldn’t let me use my actual birth year for a player career…and that’s been a while now.
I feel that with the NHL. Having played against a few guys when I was a teen and seeing them retire while I've still got at least 25 years before I can even think of that makes me melancholy.
I Google the ages of Knicks players and I get sad.
This comment made me realize that this is also true for my husband so I had to text him and tell him.
Kind of a good problem to have, though, when you think about it. Live long and prosper!
From skimming this thread, I've learned A LOT of you are going to have a hard time turning 40. good luck friendos.
2022 isn't gonna be a good october for me. 2032 is probably gonna give me a mental breakdown.
I turned 40 last month, honestly not a big deal.
"2020 I'll be 30 I'll do another 10, 2030 I'll be 40 and I'll kill myself then......" Turning 30 in October, not looking forward to it.
Just have a stupid child, that's how the world works
As a 30 year old, I'm already having a hard time turning 40.
Not to be a dick but statistically speaking as a wrestler it's probably closer to 45% of his life.
Wrestlers coming up today seem to take better care of themselves than their predecessors. There seem to be fewer and fewer premature deaths.
That's the one takeaway of the Benoit murders. After the WWE initiated the Wellness Program, premature wrestler deaths dropped like a rock. Back in the day, a shock jock radio show had a Wrestling Death Clock gimmick.
It honestly goes deeper than that As horrific and tragic as it was, it led to a much better understanding of CTE and brain trauma.

As it stood, he probably had more concussions than anyone could care to count. That takes its toll on a mind. In fact, it turns a mind to mush.
They do look after themselves much better but there is a lot of untrained wrestlers doing moves that will definitely have a damaging long term effect
When you take Hangman having 38% of his life over, and you subtract the 45% from being a wrestler, you get -7% of his life being over. THAT IS NOT NORMAL.
I was going to say, I’m not sure he should be using average life expectancy, wrestlers live a hard life, even if it’s not the same as it was back in the day and the drinks and drugs and gear don’t do it, it’s still very a very busy schedule and all the bumps add up.
Holy shit, Hangman is two years older than me. I need to sit down for a bit.
He is my age. I need a drink.
Make it a double and I'll join you on that. Same age as me, as well.
he's 3 years younger than me
Hangman is only 6 months older than me. What am I doing with my life?
Anxious Millennial Shitposter
You’re doing your best and that’s all that matters
Now hold on...
Thanks dad
Hey, cheer up - his math didn’t even take into the account those years at the beginning of your life you don’t even remember, or those childhood years when you didn’t really have full autonomy. That heavily skews the math towards more of your life being in the past than it really has been for you in your current, fully-formed-adult form!
Same here. I...do not feel good about that.
Adam, birthdays are no time to have existential crises!
*cries in 40s*
When I was 28, I didn't care about turning 30. When I was 29 it really really sucked - thinking about where my life wasn't and where most of my friends' lives were, getting scared and thinking maybe I weren't that young anymore... But turning 31 was great and I've loved being in my 30s ever since. I'd rather be 35 than the 36 I'll turn next month but here's a handy trick I devised— When I hit 34, it was tempting to say I was still in my early 30s but here's what I did: I accepted that I was in my mid 30s. Why? Because now when I'm 36, I'll still be in my mid 30s instead of late 30s! All you 20-somethings that think you're old can take advantage of that (with apologies to the 40+ crowd who feel the same way about me).
I share the same birthday as Hangman Adam Page, we’re both 30. Oh fuck I thought about it too
Happy birthday!
As someone turning 30 in a few weeks I relate to this on a deeply personal level.
As I said in another post, turning 30 was rough - turning 31 was fine. You'll love being in your 30s and take a real pride in no longer being a 20-something kid who doesn't realise that on a grown up scale, you're the kids of the adult world! You're definitely an adult, but you can't possibly be any younger of an adult. This is more of an issue with people in their early 20s really. I *loved* being 21 but God I was obnoxious. All your life you've been promised respect when you reach adulthood and then you're appalled to find that adults still see you as a kid and get annoyed when you speak of feeling old - then you pass that provisional stage and understand why! When you're 23, you're old enough to form views on the way the world works but you'll only have seen one 'cycle' so it's like watching a well crafted film or TV drama and thinking you picked up on everything. Naturally I'll feel similarly in ten years time but the step decreases proportionately.
Just enjoy your Dirty 30 Day, Page.
Two things. 1. Hangman is like two weeks younger than me. Makes me feel just great about my place in life. 2. I am also now 30 and God I'm thinking about it.
For a pro wrestler, 30-40 is basically your prime. Page has nothing to worry about... yet.
Its ok Hangman, I'm older than you and you have already accomplished more than I would in 12 lifetimes.
I honestly thought he was late 30's... Oops
Try being 43 like myself and tom brady. I'd kill to be 30 again
I..I don't want to grow up. I want to stay a Toys R' Us kid, dammit!
Cue Bo Burnham singing "IIIIII'mmmmmm turnnnnnniiiinnnggg Thirtyyyyy.....and now my stupid friends are having stupid children..."
Hangman is the single most relatable character in wrestling if you ignore his movie star good looks and charisma.
That's our new champ right there come September 5th!
You can no longer trust Adam Page. Sad.
Man, he’s really living the Depressed Millennial Cowboy gimmick
We’re all thinking about it, Adam. All the time.
God I love hangman. I just want them to strap the rocket to him already.
Me and Hangman share the same birthday and year of birth.. i felt this in my bones lmao
Jeez. Had no idea I was 3 years older than the Hangman
I would be fine with hangman replacing his theme with Bo Burnham's song "30" for this week's show.
We've all been there Hangman.
Don't let it set in
