- Witness "Hangman" Adam Page's quest for the AEW World Title in this unique cinematic experience. Ranging from January 2019 to November 2021, "The Good, The Bad, and the Elite" chronicles one of prowrestling's most ambitious stories.
In episode five, the Hangman returns to face his demons and capture the ultimate prize...
The fact that Hangman not only loves the series but wants to try to reward you for your time and effort just goes to show the type of guy he is. Absolutely deserving of that championship.
Dude seriously needs to produce official content for AEW. Match build recap videos on their channel, or content for home releases. He’s very talented.
@@hothotheat3000 Apparently he was a former writer for WWE.
Is it possible to have a link or something that shows Hangman endorsing the channel?
@@celithrandir886 Hangman mentioned it in a press release he posted on Twitter
@@VagabondRonin69 Thank you
I know wrestling isn’t supposed to be “deep”, but I grew up with a mom who struggled with substance abuse, and seeing Hangman toss the beer away and choose love instead just broke me. Thank God I was at home with people who understood why I was crying. That was a moment that I finally got from my mom as an adult, and it was deeply moving to see someone else make that same choice.
Dropping the drinking angle for MOX was class act.
But that final toss of the beer from Reynolds hands was deep.
That was a really great moment. It touched me as well.
Let's go. The only Hangman doc series to get and endorsement BY Hangman
what's up with that?
And there is probably only one hangman series
@@santanu-fr it's a huge deal u won't understand
Is there more
Kudos to the fan who brought the sign "WHAT WOULD KOTA THINK?" ❤️
Congratulations Brian mate. Absolute banger of a series, TV-quality production and shows off how deep & emotional wrestling can be. A WINNER IS YOU! 💚
Promote that man
Couldn't beat the compliment from the oirish boi's above!! They are the don's of making me a fan of good ol' rasslin by reliving all those quality feuds, stories and turns only wrestling can do at it's finest. Great to see a quality five-parter chopped together from some truly outstanding AEW storytelling. Take a bow son!!!
Tony Khan has made me care about wrestling again. I didn't think it was possible but I'm emotionally invested and this storyline was EVERYTHING thats great about wrestling. This dude encapsulated that storyline perfectly and I'm blown away at how good it is. I usually don't rewatch stuff (even you guys, who I love) but I'm on my third rewatch of this episode.
Thanks for pointing me to this chaps, it was bloody brilliant.
Osw ya fookin animal ya
When the AEW game comes out, I want to play hangman's storyline, and I want these videos as the interstitials.
Great idea that
Fantastic idea
Oh that would be perfect.
Yes
Aubrey Edwards counted the 3 on Hangman's first title shot when he lost, she came running and came to count the 3 for his victory, I love these small elements that make the larger story so great!
With a TEAR in my EYE this is the best documentation of a wrestling story arc I've seen in my entire life.
Super Eyepatch Wolf has a fairly long breakdown of the Golden Lovers arc in one of his videos. It's only like 10 minutes or something but its really well done, actually all his wrestling videos are really good.
@@loveandnapalm Love Super Eyepatch Wolf, don't know how I missed that! Will seek it out, thank you mate.
I checked this out after Hangman himself mentioned it on Twitter. As someone who didn’t really follow AEW or especially BTE since the beginning, I knew there was a lot of history, but I resigned myself to knowing that I probably won’t see all of it from beginning to end just because I missed it. This is such a good way to catch up and it is done so amazingly well. Well done, mate. I wish more wrestling long-term stories had people like you recapping them in such high quality series
I love the self aware stuff like Omega saying "We've done some real long term storytelling with Hangman"
Then making it double self-aware with "How are are going to sum up his story?" *cuts to the intro of a video summing up this story*
09:01 "Wait a second, who's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!?!?!" - greatest call in wrestling history!
The fact that we literally saw this storyline unfold on screen and you took so much time to make it into a 5 video series instead waiting until after Full Gear and making it all into 1 video with 5 acts is amazing. Great work man
I just wish i understood more of his dark order stuff and how they were heel but turned into good guys?
@@chris51ification It kinda happened due to Brodie lee passing away.RIP Brodie lee ❤️
when he returned to the casino ladder match and his card said “finally showed up to work” i lost it
Man, remembering the long, winding road we all took getting to this point. That all made that group hug with the Dark Order so much more meaningful. I've never had more fun being a professional wrestling fan than I have right now.
It's pretty clear why Hangman wanted to give this a shout out. Tony Elite needs to give Danhausen a blimp and add these guys to the payroll
Are there any plans to do this from the Elite’s perspective, particularly Kenny’s? His descent into madness was the perfect polar opposite method of dealing with insecurity as Hangman
I made a part of the story in Kenny Omega pov, in my ongoing documentary. Also this april I will release young bucks documentary series with this story in their pov.
Because Omega's pov and bucks' pov differed
@@TheWingEmpire lol
Almost a year later, I still feel so genuinely blessed to have been at Full Gear in person.
Hangmans quest for the championship was one of the most beautiful stories ever told.
Had planned on watching one episode after seeing Hangman's ringing endorsement but ended up watching one after the other. Truly remarkable storytelling! Well done!
Hangman just gave you some kudos on the press release he made, and you absolutely deserve it. I hope he gets you in the door making official AEW content because this serie was amazingly done and different from everything that's out there, congratulations! Great job, and thank you!
Without a shadow of a doubt, this series, for me, is the BEST, documentation of a character in professional wrestling. I am so, so lucky to have lived 35 years to witness this (cowboy) shit. TK, Cody, any of the VPs, please, PLEASE, give these fine folk a job. This is fantastic.
This might honestly be my favorite story in all of professional wrestling, I mean everything is here. Emotional highs and lows, incredible matches, deep and intricate characters that develop over time, and I could keep going. But the elements of mental health and alcoholism that are sprinkled throughout the story are what bring it home for me. Being a recovering alcoholic, seeing a story told so delicately and realistically about that type of struggle in my favorite form of entertainment is very cathartic for me. It makes me feel something, and I think that’s what great wrestling is suppsed to do.
Every time I see Hangman toss the beer away to embrace his friends in the Dark Order a tear comes to my eye. What a story, and what amazing performers we had to tell it to us.
In short words, the storyline can be described as "identity Crisis and the ways of redemption". Omega and page both faced same confidence issues in different times in their AEW run. They found different solutions of their problem. We can take the good from both their solutions and exclude the bad. We can learn a lot. Cuz in real life, we all face these problems
Like the person who brought the sign saying "what would Kota think?" this is a chefs kiss and I cannot thank you enough for adding to the enjoyment of this great story.
Even though I'd watched it all in real-time, this series played like a movie
I was so enchanted 💖 what The Bucks, Hangman, Kenny, D.O., & AEW have done with this story is everything a prowrestling fan could dream of witnessing.
AEW is all about storytelling, and God blessed them for saving Wrestling.
Outstanding Edit Masterpiece...Thank You.
Throughout this entire series, you let the clips speak for themselves. You have no idea how much I appreciate that.
This has truly been a masterpiece. Thank you!
These videos were great, but I feel two great moments were missed. First was Hangman’s monologue in the forest. That was such a great moment for him and felt like one of the turning points in the story. The other was Matt going back to Hangman (during Kenny’s turn?),and seeing him happy with the Dark Order. Bucks were just as big part of this story as Kenny.
What an amazing series. Excited to see what's next, A Golden Lovers series or something around the Bullet Club would be awesome.
Holy shit, man. I started watching AEW on All Out when Hangman won the title, and I had no idea that match had such a long backstory. Thank you for putting this together, I can only imagine how much work you've put into this - honestly, AEW should hire you first chance they get.
Absolute banger of a series my man, I would love to see what else you've got in the works for the future.
Besides Joseph Montecillo's story of McGuinness vs Danielson this is best thing on UA-cam about Wrestling. Hangman is the biggest babyface right now. And he is World Champion. I really want to see what you do in the future, great work Man.
this whole story line has just felt so good. it's so relatable. WWE should take notes this is how you make someone into the face of your company
These video packages are so great, thank you so much for putting them together. The amount of time and energy put into them must have been intense, but it's clearly a labor of love. The AEW family should welcome you with open arms - and a decent paycheck.
I just watched the 5 episodes in a row and man you did an awesome job. A banger. Thank you ! I understand now why Hangman aknowledged your work on Twitter, it was beautiful !
The turnaround time on this was so impressive! Thanks for this series!
I started watching wrestling at 2003, I was 12 at the time, the first match I saw was the first even TNA ultimate X match. I loved it from the first moment. However, with wrestling your love changes. First its the fun and athletic abilities, maybe later its the heel turns or surprises. In the past 18 of watching there have been great wrestling years and not so great. I never thought wrestling can be what AEW has become. I didn't know of Adam Page before AEW, and frankly I didn't care until he made me care, but two years later I cared enough to do everything to see him lift the belt at Full Gear. I'm older now and my love for wrestling is different, I get invested in the people behind the characters. People that inspire me to chase my dreams. But one dream I never knew I needed was a dream to watch a wrestling company that gives us hope that 5 years from now, the show will be even better. AEW loves wrestling much like its fans do and I am glad to be part of the ride. Can't wait for some more Cowboy Shit
I watched revolution 2022 and i thought to myself that i was missing out on hangman story and searched some explanation. but never imagine the story would be this amazing! and my guy holly cow you make some awesome content :D thank you so much for the video and now i love hangman and dark order even more! haha
Cried when Matt gave him the nod and watched Adam win it all.
Hope you hear about that job offer Hangman is trying to get you, this was beautifully done
oh my god . cannot describe this series in words. this is like epitomy of wrestling documentaries. my god . I won't ever forget this moment . this was like my lord
this is great stuff. well thought out. it is apparent that you were aware of later comments in promos that reference early moments and included them. thanks for sharing this with us.
Thank you so much for making this series
Thank you for the effort you've put into making these videos. They are incredible and have encapsulated everything I love about wrestling perfectly.
Bro hangman shouted out your videos in a press release! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sometimes I watch this whole series and it makes me tear up every god damn time. I love Hangman's story. His struggles are very relatable. This series is put together so well and everything about it just heightens hangman's story. The Elite are amazing story tellers in and out of the ring.
The significance of this whole series boiling down the essentials to this story, and giving me a reason to send it to friends so that they can understand why I cried when an Anxious Millenial Cowboy won a belt is an achievement of editing and storytelling. Congrats on this and all the endorsements you've been getting and deserve.
Wow I just finished it! That was awesome! The amount of detail and hard work that went into that is amazing! Bravo
Absolutely fantastic work editing all this together. Love that Hangman gave you a shout out.
This is truly one of the greatest long-term wrestling storylines of all-time and I love that you documented it all so well.
Just watched all 5 episodes. This is beautiful. Phenomenal job!
This is one of the best wrestling story's ever told, the way this was edited and flowed together is God like 🙏🙏🙏 if I ever had to explain to someone why I watch and love wrestling I wud show them this whole series of videos start to finish. This really got me in the feels in a good heart warming way, Thank you for making this 🤘👏🙏 #COWBOYSHIT
So the whole series was made to bring Adam Cole up to speed on the long term storytelling with the hanger! Such good shit!
I always loved Hangman and love him and will love him no matter what people say about him. The matter that he went on national television and roasting Punk is something beyond ordinary thing and as a huge fan of Punk I couldn't accept that at all but later I realized why Hangman was that furious about coz he was very close with Colt Cabana.
Whatever he is the guy who won first ever AEW Match the AEW Casino Battle Royal and The Guy who main evented the first PPV of AEW. He is All Elite. And will be remembered as one of the greatest AEW stars of all time in its history.
Love to see another world title run.
Hope you get that letter and that fruit basket!
Or preferably that job...
I have been watching wrestling for about 24 years. And this is the best long term story I have ever seen. What AEW does with long term story telling is second to none.
Those certain lines you just cannot understand when they are being told on screen and in this context you suddenly understand. "Hangman, we built this all for you" by Kenny before title change, that was the absolute truth. The elite did a beautiful story and this documentary, compilation, recap is a perfect way to tell it to those who didn't follow it unfold on dynamite. Great job!
AEW should hire this guy to do it full time for them
This was an absolutely phenomenal watch. I honestly forgot this wasn't an official AEW series until WWE footage popped up. This is not only a fantastic recap for people wanting to relive the whole story, but a great advertisement for the best that AEW has to offer for anyone not already invested in it AND the kind of thing to show your friends who aren't into wrestling to show just why you love it so much. I seriously can't praise this enough. Thank you.
Remember seeing highlights of Page winning. Seeing the story behind it is amazing. Great job man.
One of the best long term storyline in wrestling history.
This storyline was like CINEMA. Elite are the best at storytelling.
The way hangman's blood, in the contract signing, trickles down his face just enough to appear like a teardrop rolling his cheek is kind of poignant and really cool how it happened purely accidentally
Amazing work! Thank you so much for making these for the fans and telling Hangman’s story. I can’t wait to see what’s next in your channel! Hopefully more stories on different wrestlers. Would love to see Kenny’s journey as well.
I just binged this whole series and these videos are amazing. This is the definitive way to experience the Hangman story outside of watching every Dynamite, PPV, BTE, etc. Great job.
Absolutely amazing! This is been my favorite story in the history of AEW so far and it was amazing to see all that highlighted. Thank you for all of your hard work and effort to give this story the spotlight it truly deserves. Have yourself a nice cold beer or whiskey on me!
Absolute legend for this!
Just saw Hangman Adam Page even gave you props, well deserved!
This series is the greatest thing ever. I couldn't even start to imagine the amount of work you put into this. Congratulations. You're the man.
If the AEW game has a showcase mode, it should absolutely be "Hangman" Adam Page.
This whole series is SO SO beautiful. Thank you.
This video series is truly excellent but has also amplified what has been truly great long term story arc by the Elite, Hangman and AEW. I believe it will go down in history when we all look back in 15-20 yrs as one of the best in modern era. Good job bro 🤙
Absolutely a banger. I love how this is setup as a cowboy movie. Kenny from the friend to the villain to the ultimate antagonist. Great story telling and also great job and shout out to the editor of these series!!
i am wwe fan, never watched aew but stumbled upon this series. This series is so well maid, kudos to the makers. Please make more of these, beautiful storytelling. Brilliant piece of art.
One of the best wrestling stories ever
I can't believe this is for free on youtube, I'm moved to tears.
Everything has been just perfect, the editing, the original ideas, the opening, the music... even the curve ball at the end with "the beginning".
Wrestling is one of those things that make me feel alive, and I'll be damned if you didn't contribute to making my time on earth even a tad better. Thank you.
This entire series has perfectly encapsulated the hangman, Kenny storyline, I've raved enough about how good the company that they work for is in your previous content, but as a content creator you can tell you have put a LOT of time and effort into these clips/ this content and I personally hope YOU CONTINUE because this is honestly perfectly done for anyone who doesn't watch all 3 shows(dynamite,rampage&bte) and it makes for an easy catch up without missing crucial details. The video itself seems really well edited together as well but I accept i don't know as much about that specifically😁🤜🤛
Man!! I've all the episodes in one shot!! That's fckin amazing that's fantastic hats off to that man!!
They played the long game with the storytelling and I love how it payed off
You are fantastic Brian. I hope you continue other long term stories like this!
Complete awesomeness, you getting a shout out from Hanger himself. Proud of you, dude. This series has been nothing short of God damn phenomenal. Keep up the excellent work!
Wow
Wow wow wow wow
Amazing work my dude. Stuff like this shows why editing is an art form
Dude! You got a shout out from hangman himself on twitter, congratulations
Do more series on different storylines.
This is absolutely awesome. You deserve all support. 🔥
These were all so well done, my god. Thank you for making these to honor such an amazing story!
This 5 part series was incredible. Covered all the major plot points of this 3 years old, on going storyline, which in my opinion, is the best written wrestling storyline in decades.
Your production value is Top Notch. I honestly thought this was from AEW at first. Amazing work 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
Just watched all the videos in this series, absolutely phenomenal!! Fantastic work 👏
Have been binge watching this for about 2 hours. What a roller coaster of emotion. Great fucking job!
AEW needs to hire this man to do their video packages. holy shit the sheer raw talent you have is actually amazing. I binged watched all of the episodes just now. Absolutely amazing.
This was an absolutely phenomenal series about absolutely phenomenal storytelling in pro wrestling. Can't wait to see what's next for the creator(s) of this docuseries, as well as what's next for "Hangman" Adam Page, the Dark Order, and AEW. Thank you, and please keep up the great work!
I didn't know who Hangman was until the Press Conference to announce the very first All-In.
Since then, he's become a top favorite. As well as both Lucha Bros Penta and Fenix.
I found myself missing SCU after they recently broke up, and I never watched TNA or Impact except for a couple big events like ..."The Headbutt"...fkn chills there...
All Elite Wrestling truly is a company for fans of Professional Wrestling.
And you Sir, clearly love Professional Wrestling, and great storytelling.
Thank you for this series.
Seeing Miro crying on the stage breaks me every time..dammit.
Reiterating what hundreds have already said, but you've done a phenomenal job putting this all together and constructed it in a way that brings on tears and goosebumps all at once. Amazing work.
Perfect storyline and even better doc series
Hands down you did great work👍
Speaking as someone who wasn’t watching AEW for about half of this story (I started watching here and there when FTR showed up and a lot more after Punk showed up), and doesn’t keep up with BTE (not since the New Japan days at least), this series has been a fantastic telling of the story of Hangman Adam Page.
The music and editing here are phenomenal. A great promo package for their match at Full Gear. I wish I’d seen this first to understand the weight behind that match.
What a FANTASTIC job! So glad to see that even AEW/Hangman recognized your work, and hope that job offer is coming your way!
what a great series you have put together and truly highlights what the Bucks, Kenny, Adam, Tony and whoever was involved in telling this story. Not just a pro wrestling story, but, a truly cinematic story over the past few years. They really told a damn good Western
Keep this series going cause this is going to go longer and deeper than you covered here. Great job!
My only complaint about this is that I discovered it right before bed and binge watched it all but this was worth sleeping over. This was fantastic work great job mate!
Long term booking is so rewarding in the end. This is probably the best series of wrestling on UA-cam. You deserve my respect for making this.
Such an incredible journey, amazing series! Hopefully Hangman’s shoutout will get you the proper recognition you deserve, as much as he did winning the title at Full Gear! Thankyou for this 💙
Thank you for piecing all this together and making a digestible form of media for the masses. This is the kind of thing I will point to in the future when people ask me why I get enjoyment out of wrestling as an adult. Hopefully some parts of this series will resonate within them so that they can understand what makes All Elite Wrestling the best Pro Wrestling company in the World; their storytelling and athletes.
wouldve been dope if you included their history in NJPW which completely connects to their AEW story.
"Who's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man?!?!" A true classic call by Excalibur. Shall live forever.
You should do a series for Eddie Kingston. That would be killer!!!
So much emotion throughout all of this. Don’t think we’ll ever see a story like this in wrestling again.
On a separate note, that line from Kenny during the contract signing about “I don’t know if we’ll ever team again” was interesting. If/when the Bucks and Cole leave Kenny, it could be Hangman who helps him out and becomes his partner again.
Hey you got a shout out on Hangman's press release haha
Who says there are no faces and heels in wrestling anymore? Cowboy sh*t is the purest baby face to ever grace the wrestling industry.
And, wonderful production!
