In the realm of the Hardy Boys, Ethan Page, though not a likely member, dedicated the majority of 2023 to collaborating with seasoned veterans, a tenure that predates Matt Hardy’s ownership of his contract. Furthermore, he champions the notion that these veterans should be perennially honored, their enduring struggles and continuous sharing of their gifts deserving perpetual recognition.
Reflecting on this perspective, Page shared on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” “In the landscape of wrestling, one encounters individuals who may project niceness, friendliness, and cordiality. However, when confronted with the business intricacies, a pervasive selfishness tends to emerge among most.” In contrast, he highlighted Matt’s commitment to crafting compelling narratives, prioritizing storytelling over personal gain.
The zenith of their collaborative endeavors unfolded during “AEW Dark: Elevation,” and Page acknowledged that it was a source of considerable enjoyment. Despite his willingness to absorb the wisdom of legends on the optimal approach, it did not result in them overshadowing the limelight or fixating on their individual interests.
Page expressed gratitude towards Matt, affirming, “He consistently had my well-being in mind, ensuring that every joint venture we undertook was mutually beneficial. Such consideration is a rarity in the wrestling domain, and my appreciation for Matt will endure throughout my entire career, harboring an everlasting affection for him.”
The Hardys have recently articulated their discontent with their AEW television presence, with Jeff Hardy likening their experience to that of ghosts. Both siblings have expressed a yearning for increased activity, aiming to demonstrate their ongoing passion for their craft. This sentiment, witnessed personally by Page, attests to their unwavering dedication.
“Jeff lives for the fans,” he asserted. “Their affinity for the fan connection and their enjoyment in presenting a spectacle for the fans… It’s an authentic, genuine love for the craft.”
