Ethan Page is my favorite. Future wwe champ, no debate. Charisma, CHECK. In Ring CHECK. Mic skills, CHECK. Nice real life/work Ethic, CHECK.
Ethan seems like a really good guy. Great actor and heel on TV. He's helping NXT grow and the ratings are showing.
Very Very Happy for you @ethanpagevlog !! You are indeed a wonderful athlete wrestling has to offer
Future WWE CHAMP 🏆💪🏾
I became an Ethan Page fan when I watch his Toy Hunting Vlog. I was like, he’s just like me, an adult kid.
I got to meet Ethan last year while he was in AEW when they had their first Arizona show at a signing the day before that he filmed at.
He signed a trading card of his i brought him to sign. Super nice guy which made it even better.
When he debuted in NXT, I knew he was destined to win the NXT title.
Wow what a guy. Totally belongs in the wwe. Who else can you guys think of in AEW thats like him?
Ethan Page rules. Was a fan of his back when he was a 260lb singles competitor in Impact and I'm a bigger fan of his now.
Did I miss the question about Josh and The North possibly being a thing again with TNA being involved now? Or did they not talk about this?
At least he wore clothes
Hope to see him the main roster soon.
Ethan page in nxt : 😈
Ethan page in cvv : 😇
Damn I just became a real Ethan Page fan, quality work
I love this thank you
So happy for him. One of Favorite!
this is not real 😀 genious story , i rememer some other WWE wrestler in the past has had the same thing but cant rember who it was
Anyone miss when wrestlers kept the inside stuff to themselves? Love this for Ethan page, no one deserves it more but CVV asks the most childish questions
He seems like such a lovely bloke. Very soft spoken, very well-mannered and has a mind for wrestling. I'll be the first to admit that I knew nothing of him in TNA and didn't care much for him in AEW (That might have something to do with me not caring for their product, and their booking of him in general tbth.) But man, this interview has made me an Ethan Page fan for life. I hope this stellar run continues into the main roster tbth. What a genuinely lovely human being Ethan Page is.
Another banger, after a banger…you know what I mean 😀
You forgot to ask Egon when we can expect Danhousen to appear in NEXT without the E.
Damn Santi is looking good over here.
2 things:
1. I would love to see an interview with Brooks Jenson. I believe he can have a bright future.
2. This one, I know you probably won't do, but believe you have the platform to help. I'd like to see you do interviews with some indy guys/gals. Maybe ones that could be close to a contract with a bigger company. I think your platform could & would help a lot of those guys.
Love what you do & enjoy watching/listening.
@EthanPageVlog still rockin' the best tits in the business
It’s awesome to see ego on nxt but he really should be on Monday or Fridays….of course he’s not great full for the fans 😂
So no conversation about his time in tna 😢😢😮
40:15 I LOVE LOVEEEEE their friendship!
@ethanpagevlog … I am late to the party, I only became aware of you during dark and dark elevation days of worldwide madness. I am sad about that. I have loved your journey so far. My favourite highlight so far is Joe Hendry failing to roast you with his latest parody song.
Stay strong and be the most awesome “All Ego” there is!
NXT me
I am absolutely amazed by wrestlers who have such a great personality in real life and be so different when wrestling, just like Ethan Page. It's so hard to boo him when you get to know him, but in retrospect, I really think that he wants us to boo him cause of how great a heel character he is.
Awesome interview as always, CVV! It's so fascinating that even if you've interviewed them before, it always seems so fresh, and you're always so interested in the new chapter of their lives.
Williamson Walk
I'm so happy he joined WWE because he is excellent.
I dig Ethan Page sooooo much. I’m so far beyond happy for him. I’m nobody, but I really saw his potential a number of years ago with his in-ring work and promo skill. Also, the man knows how to hustle and grind with all of his toy hunts, vlogs, and his wrestling company. The dude became like an underground star because of all of that.
One thing that I’d be nervous of in Florida would be losing all of my action figures and collectibles in a hurricane flood
Good things come to those that wait' and Ethan Page is long overdue congrats.
I just love his damn music EGO!!!! Next IC CHAMP
I hope bobby roode would be ethan page's manager when he comes to the main roster
If I don’t get Josh Alexander challenging Ethan Page for the nxt title what are we even doing with this partnership 😂
Bring Tama Tonga
Holy shit, you got to actually do this at NXT?!
I am every happy for him well deserve!!
