Also I believe it's been stated this was always the plan and Hangman always planned to take time off. It's not like he sprung this on AEW by saying, Oh I'm having a kid in a few weeks so we have to change direction. They knew this was coming

It's not like he sprung this on AEW by saying, Oh I'm having a kid in a few weeks so we have to change direction. They knew this was coming Yeah I agree with this. I feel like the reason why the storyline was heated up last month was so they could kickstart the eventual match down the line. And thus, it led to Hangman being beaten up and taken out. Having him take some time off, then he will come back to get the ultimate revenge. It’s really a classic wrestling tale. And in my opinion, doing it this way, heating up the storyline then taking Page out for his time off, is better than not doing anything and then having Page disappear. Now we have real anticipation for when Hangman comes back. When he shows up again to confront Omega, it’s gonna blow the roof off the house.

They knew this was coming Well they clearly had to have a plan in place to write Hangman out so yeah they knew after a time. Still the plan was absolutely for Page to win the belt at All Out before he decided to take time off for his kid. I thought the report was he was doing so due to the rising Delta Variant cases so maybe he was playing safe. The decision wasn't made two weeks ago but the decision seemed to happen some time on the road to All Out.

I don't mind changing my display name, and I imagine most of us don't. It's just a silly internet game for giggles.
It is, however, a less fun game at this point. We've got a good, justifiable, understandable reason why Page isn't getting his moment at the PPV, but barring the Russoest of Russo swerves, it means we already know the outcome. So we don't get the down-to-the-wire funtimes of watching the show as we wait to find out who guessed right and who guessed wrong.
I feel like Meltz made this whole thing much worse than it needed to be. Whether because of poor communication or because he felt he needed to BS to defend the booking without knowing why, he got people worrying that Tony Khan might be drinking some Vince McMahon nonsense juice and making changes to the main event angle because of Punk and Bryan, casting aside a beloved babyface in favor of big WWE names.
(Who were once beloved babyfaces cast aside in favor of other big WWE names, time is a flat circle, etc.)

Oh good, my posting on this thread was just prognosticating and not actually placing a wager.

I changed my display name, but, like I said in all of my earlier posts, I would have been EXTREMELY disappointed if this was a decision made for storyline purposes.
Since it appears to have been a decision made at the request of Hangman to prepare for the birth of his child, I am perfectly fine with it, and am looking forward to the coming months in AEW. It's been really compelling television lately.

(No, I haven't given up on Hangman ever winning the World title. I just wanted to post that song.)

Hilarious that people are trying to get out of this wager. It was made AFTER Hangman lost a match with the stip that he wouldn’t get Omega. What was unclear lol

What was unclear lol I mean, it's not a binding contract or anything. Like, if people want to get out of it, what'll happen? Nobody's going to sue over a forum thread. EDIT: Basically my issue were people making a big deal about it on both sides. Which was why I was going to pull out. And I'm not changing my name until after All Out because that's the wager, if we're being a stickler for "clauses" or whatever.

This thread is more entertaining than the WWE is currently.
Except maybe Hard Luck Hobo Baron Corbin

Truth be told, I'm surprised wagers (even non-monetary ones like this one) aren't against some sort of rule in the ProBoards TOS.

Full Gear is in November. That should be the moment for Hangman Page.

Hangman lost a match that said he wouldn't challenge for the title in a company that has gone out of their way to state that they abide by their stipulations. I never understood people thinking they would break their stipulation for Hangman or why people would even want that. It would be awful storytelling. I wanted Hangman in the match but after he lost the 10 man match it was obvious he wasn't getting it and I would have hated for them to cook up some BS way to get around their stipulation. People wanted WWE style booking from AEW in their hottest storyline ever and I don't think I will ever really understand that one.
People have a right to be upset that they're not getting the match they wanted, but taking it out on this thread or acting like Meltzer is the reason this is so messed up is a really weird take. I feel people are going out of their way to find other people to blame besides AEW for the way they booked it, or fate for Hangman's kid being born during the hottest angle in the company.
I understand people getting upset over the booking, I don't get people getting upset over the wager they made.

I will 100% change my username after All Out.
It's just a less fun bet when the reason it doesn't happen is because of something joyous in real life, instead of whacky wrestling booking.
