Incredible work Brian mate! So happy u got this on YT so everyone can enjoy. How the story unfolds, the pacing, the emphasis, the slick production. A home run out of the gate! A winner is you 💚

There’s a face I didn’t expect to see. At least I know it’s worth watching.

Adam Page just gave a shoutout to you on his "press release". Well deserved, incredible work!

AEW needs to hire you and let you make documentaries for them cause this is amazing Bro

[@thewinkingsamurai]

This epic, multi-year story of one man's quest for self-respect and acceptance has needed to be laid out so people can see how amazing it's been. Thanks for putting it together in such an engaging way. Can't wait for Part 2.

[@LuciGoertzen]

You did an exceptional job with establishing shots and historical context, and managed to trim about 60 hours of television into a coherent 20 minutes. Exceptionally well done, Tony should call you.

[@mattocaster87]

Haven't seen anything about it yet on here, so I thought I'd mention it. The interview between Page and JR feels like a turning point in the exposition: the greenhorn starting out and getting his first big opportunity while the older cowboy sits across from him, encourages him, and tells him to beware the seasoned veteran. Real solid starting point for the hero's journey. Love this!

[@michaelsayles33]

You’re right

[@_JC_21]

You're wrong.

[@mattocaster87]

You're _JC_21.

[@ProofJDLeduc]

man, you have the skills. Keep doing this on a regular basis and you’ll have a career lined up in no time

[@ProofJDLeduc]

Hangman Page just said on twitter he’ll be working his hardest to get you a job. congrats my friend.

[@joshgallie1543]

Unsurprisingly people don't know the man behind this job was once a WWE writer It's a good thing though because if they knew that, they would be complaining that AEW is "hiring another one of those WWE rejects"

[@TheRealMrSir]

Watching this made me realise I missed a hell of a lot of storylines by not watching weekly for the first couple years. Makes me wanna go back and watch the weekly Dynamites and the BTE's of that weeks show as well to catch more story! This is amazingly made, please keep making content like this for people who have missed out on stories like this!

[@tylertravis2081]

I been watchin it all and their stuff i forgot about thank god for this

[@ajmurtagh27]

Go back and re-watch if you can. It made the pay off at Full Gear so epic.

[@cliffordjackson3]

@@ajmurtagh27 I one of the day one aew fans since the promotion started in 2019 and let me tell you I watched this storyline unfold for the past two years and this one of the best long term storytelling I seen in a long time.

[@outgoingintrovert7876]

The best thing about this video is. It's basically 100% canon. God damn the story telling i love AEW. Thank you very much for this video

[@lanagievski1540]

The way this is edited and pieced together feels so organic, very documentary-like You even put together clips that summarise how his time in ROH/New Japan factors into his story without dedicating a bunch of time to it. That’s good editing.

[@shivamsingh-lb1mg]

I'm subscribing hoping you continue making videos on AEW.

[@santanu-fr]

So am I

[@linkaut]

big same

[@danweaver8983]

I literally just watched this entire video, and assumed it was an official video produced by the company. This is incredible!

[@Lanoom]

Incredible work. And so many details forgotten due to the long build, now pleasantly remembered. Can't wait for Full Gear.

[@adrienspaceage1619]

This 5-part series is the best recap of one of the greatest multi-year stories in pro-wrestling history. well done mate. cheers.

[@ZedSpot]

This is required viewing for every wrestling fan. Stellar work! You got real chops dude, instant sub. I can't wait for episode 2!

[@TitanSmashMTG]

This is incredibly well done. Such a nostalgia ride rewatching some of this. This cannel is going to be huge if this is the quality of work you put out.

[@rohitcr2k]

Congratulations mate! Hangman acknowledged this in his latest Tweet.

[@TouchDirt]

This shit is so good. Thank you for this and now being to share it with some friends who are lapsed wrestling fans before Saturday.

[@dpants5150]

I need part two like yesterday! This is the best edit and breakdown of the whole saga. Dear person who made this: you are awesome.

[@CrystalFissure]

This was absolutely tremendous, well done.

[@screamrad218]

Jericho is really crucial to Hangman’s story if anything. It made Adam change to a different person and to eventually have his day of greatness.

[@gripsimpson]

I just wanted to echo what others have said here: Very well done!!! Adam Page has become #1 in my book and his story is that of "The Hometown Hero" imo. He's my Perfect Wrestler, Perfect Hero. Thank you for all of your hard work here, Sir. Most Excellent Editing and Effort!!! Page RULES!!!!!

[@shifatmohiuddin5748]

I love the fact that in the opening credit you subtly represented the characters of the wrestler with some symbols. Hagman is shown with an eagle in the background, Omega with hexagon, Bucks with a mountain, FTR with a snake (I loved this the most) and Brodie Lee with probably a buffalo. Excellent work, mate!

[@StaterDrums]

Holy heck! This is great! Looking forward to the next one.

[@shallowhound2751]

holy crap the editing here is just. spectacular. like it's MOVIE WORTHY. it's just.. utterly amazing, and its so evident in your editing that you put genuine care and love into this little project.

[@retrofuturistuk6060]

This series is the best thing I have seen in so long. Credit to everyone involved. I've laughed, cheered and cried over and over.

[@TheRealRollerCodster]

Hangman is my favorite wrestler! Still have a happiness hangover from his title win at full gear! What an amazing video!

[@markusphilippus1787]

Honestly, I didn't care much about Adam Page at the beginning of AEW and I wondered why they chose him for the first AEW title match, but through this amazing storyline told by Page, Cody Rhodes, Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and The Dark Order, I became more of a fan each week. Thank you TK for this company. Thank you Young Bucks for being obnoxious heels so Adam can be a more sympathetic babyface. Thank you so much Kenny Omega for hanging in there through multiple injuries so he can be the one to drop the title to Adam Page and cement him as the face of the company, he couldn't have won it from anyone better. Most of all, thank you Adam Page for being the main character of this wonderful story.

[@msshyskye1]

Still the best version of this story on YT

[@MonroeRepublic]

I can't say it any better than everyone else already has. This was FANTASTIC. Truly well done. I've not ever seen such an incredibly well made fan production when it comes to wrestling. I look forward to having a short binge on the remaining 4 episodes.... riiiight..... now!

[@kommentar5]

I am new in the AEW cosmos and this video Serie is definitely a great blessing for someone like me which missed everything 🙌🏻

[@pyd2215]

Thank you for making this. I’ve kept up on and off, watched a few tv shows and ppvs but you’ve really done the justice to this long term layered progression of Hangman’s character. Really helping with my looking forward to what I hope is his triumph later tonight. A winner is all of us!

[@propakindustries22]

This is incredible. Being someone who is lucky enough to have watched All In 2018 on a whim, after being a dedicated WWE fan since 98, I can honestly say, AEW is Pro Wrestling. Thankyou for your effort.

[@nizamaroth]

Only got into AEW upon the Hangman's return and never understood why he's loved by many. Now I do, I absolutely do...and it's all thanks to you, kind sir! Much love from Malaysia!

[@spotmonkeyswrestling]

This is Awesome

[@iamthurnis745]

god i genuinely think after watching this and revisiting these two year old moments has made me rethink a lot: mainly that kenny was truly invested in hangman and really vibed with the tag team but i think hangman constantly doubting himself just bugged kenny because instead of them continuing to build momentum and gel as a team, hangman was constantly worried and anxious and it slowly pushed kenny away

[@brillo_tv]

It’s remarkable how different things are now with this story. Love this, hope it’s a full series

[@arenegadeboss]

Damn it feels good to watch this again

[@Macgyver00]

With the streaming world at my finger tips. I lay here sick with covid. Find myself watching this again for the second time and enjoying it just as much a month later. Thank you for the work you put in to this.

[@Pughausen]

This is the best, this is the perfect retelling of what may be the best story ever told through the artform of Pro-Wrestling.

[@DWEEB-FIX]

One of the most underappreciated aspects of this video and the others in the series, (at least looking through the comments here), is how you use non-broadcast camera angles and isolating commentary clips to condense the story and also as establishing material. Really helped take an already sublime set of videos to the next level.

[@Sealab2021dotorg]

Hangman Adam Page himself brought me here. Congrats bro!

[@fyrewatermelons]

I found out about this series through hangman's press release. I'm excited to see what all the hype is about.

[@maxgustafsson7802]

Page has gotten into a lot better shape since the start of AEW. Really great to see, hope he's feeling as great as he's looking!

[@czr3k18]

"No matter what happens, we're gunna be there for you..." oof. Great video!!!

[@pmarx32]

Haven't even gotten to the end yet and am subscribing to make sure I see part 2. Keep up the great work!

[@Doc92IDH]

God this is so good. This story needs this. People who've missed this need to be aware of it moving forward, it's been the best story in wrestling since Bryan.

[@bonesaw2325]

I went looking for more Hangman after he became AEW Champion and I am blown away by your videos! Great editing! Great storytelling! Great job man! Subbed!

[@doctorstinky2990]

Aew should actually promote this, I’ve waited for something like this for so long and it’s amazing

[@Thomas_Jenkins]

This is the best video AEW should be showing this series - excellent work please keep making these

[@BlakGluvProd]

Rewatching these episodes since Hangman's win. After the press release, it was all in good fun but i really hope you do get a job and this series becomes the Official companion piece because this is truly an incredible story told here. There are so many details which you see in this first episode and came to fruition this past saturday. I would hope that AEW does release your series as an episodic on their channel. Bravo job and some real good #CowboyShit

[@TheGloriousJeb]

This entire series you put together, all five episodes is one of my favorite pieces of content on youtube, thank you.

[@redmondsurvivor7222]

This is fantastic. Can’t wait for the rest!

[@melissaweller5917]

Hangman just name dropped this on Twitter and I'm so glad he did. This series is amazing! Well done dude!!!

[@zydake8166]

Amazing work. Great editing. Cant wait for the next upload.

[@D0makr0m3]

I absolutely love any BTE moments when it’s just Page and Kenny. As much as I love the Bucks, their acting is a tad melodramatic and “let me slow down and REALLY DELIVER THIS POINT”. Kenny and Adam? So natural. They really do talk and react like they’re really having a private conversation.

[@Ivolzz]

I KNEW somebody would do this. Thank you very much!

[@redzero1649]

Amazing work man. Can't wait for part two.

[@DavidH1]

This was tremendous. Thank you for all of this. I have not seen a lot of these BTE clips so it was great to see them folded into the overall story so well. Great work!

[@haleyscomet85]

Thank you for this series! I never got to watch AEW from the start and this is the only storyline I ever wanted to follow

[@Darth-Hylian]

Long term story telling is what wrestling has been missing for the last 20 years.... and this was a hell of a story

[@varitsvq9002]

Third time watching the entire series. Insanely well crafted!

[@davidglore3007]

Absolutely excellent. So many little things that I have forgotten about or missed entirely.

[@Mowgi]

Amazingly well done, great presentation of the story!

[@SusenMaharjan]

Fantastic! Can't wait for EP2

[@pocketboi8801]

Kenny Omega was one of Hangman’s best supporters he just couldn’t stand his really good friend lose himself. I loved these storylines within the Elite I can’t wait to see how this continues when Kenny comes back

[@CLSilverhand]

one of the best videos I've ever watched on KZbin, Phenomenal work

[@SamuraiFoochs]

I'd KILL for you to do something like this for Mox at some point. This absolutely rules.

[@bolio9383]

Holy shit. Wonderful production and editing. Great job, man.

[@ian3314]

Watching this in preparation for tonight. So many little things I've forgot. The is a stunning piece of work! Great job!

[@readeroftruths9113]

One of the greatest stories in wreslting history is coming to its end tommorw and I’m so dam hyped

[@TheJoeFerro]

so uhhh i’m gonna need part 2 before full gear

[@ZDanielPhoenix]

Hangman sent me.

[@henriklarssen1331]

Damn this is very well made, cant wait for Full Gear. What a god damn Journey it was when i first saw the whole Possy on BTE which got me back into watching Wrestling (NJPW) trough all of AEW to this Day.

[@zachscott5420]

This is excellent. Congrats to hangman. This just reminds me despite how some people of soured on him in and out of the ring. Jericho was monumental to their early success. He was the most entertaining part of dynamite til about the pandemic

[@jackchristmann5]

Wow, just wow. I have consumed everything AEW from day 1, so nothing in this video is new to me. That said, this is a brilliant piece of work and I can't say enough how impressive these videos are. This is a much watch for all AEW fans, especially those that do not watch BTE or have seen every episode of Dynamite.

[@haolekoa737]

This is excellent... I hope all the new AEW fans that don't know the story find and watch this. Well done.

[@heavennight9392]

This made me tear up ! Thank you guys so much for making me fall in love again with wrestling .Thank you for making AEW

I've never seen this level of complex storytelling like this before. (this storytelling of Elite was top notch)

[@seand8135]

Great work all around...but the last 3 minutes? Chef's kiss.

[@alwaysxnever]

Bruh. This is great. This shows the great long-term storytelling. It's funny as the Elite have always been heels.

Can't wait for episode 2. Great watch, great work.

[@ShoTown]

Just finished 5 and popped back to leave a comment. These are brilliant!!! Congratulations and nice work.

[@mister-hambo]

Delightful start of the episodes: Nice to see the trail of how good AEW weaves storylines. PAC and Cody - PAC beats Hangman, causes beginning of Elite rift - 2 years on: Cody teams up with PAC being on the outside of the Elite - Hangman beats Omega - Cody reforms the Bullet Club to splinter the entire AEW heel/babyface pact into so many storylines!! Damn, it's great to see storylines being part of the most enjoyable entertainment sports we can escape into!!! Part two...

[@californiawells2805]

This is probably my 4th time rewatching this whole series, and I don't think I'm alone when I'd say there should be a second season. Chronicling the war of the Adam's, then the parallel plots between Mox and Hangman, leading to their match at revolution this Sunday

[@anthonywalsh2031]

The best wrestling related content I’ve seen in absolute years, fantastic stuff
