A former WWE referee has shared his opinion of AEW's new World Champion.
Earlier this week, Jimmy Korderas spoke to WrestlingInc., and explained why he "enjoyed" the main-event of AEW Full Gear. Jimmy also wondered if Page will be able to give the ratings a bump, and more. Check out the highlights below:
On the AEW Full Gear battle between Kenny Omega and Adam Page:
“I think it actually did. I enjoyed the match very much, I thought they told a heck of a story in the match. Like you said, a two-year build. I love stories that take time to develop and I know they had to take little breaks here and there for reasons. But at the same time, the story was there in the background all the time. I think Sunday night was a nice, I don’t want to say, ending to that story, because we might get the rematch or whatever the case might be. But at the same time, I like the fact that Hangman is now an AEW guy with the AEW Championship, for lack of a better term. Yes, I know he’s wrestled in Japan and he’s been everywhere else. But I’m talking about a guy who is a non-WWE performer holding the title.”
On new AEW World Champion Adam Page:
“I just hope, I don’t know, we shall see going forward, will the Hangman move that needle that needs to be moved? Don’t get me wrong, they’re doing well in the ratings, they appeal to that hardcore audience, their diehard fans. But they need to grow that audience and hopefully, Hangman is the guy who can bridge that gap.”
On the promo ability of Adam Page:
“He’s talented in the ring, don’t get me wrong because his in-ring work is great. I am just concerned about the character, him on the mic. He did well last week with his promo work, which is some of the better work that he’s done on the mic that I’ve seen since he’s been on TV in AEW. He needs to elevate that part of his game.”
