Konnan downplays former AEW World Champion; says it's very hard to take him "seriously"
Former AEW World Champions Jon Moxley and Hangman Page are seemingly building up to a feud. WCW veteran Konnan has reacted to it by saying that he cannot seem to take their altercation seriously due to the Millennial Cowboy's attire.
Moxley and Hangman had a scary match not too long ago, where Page suffered an injury that left many AEW fans shellshocked. Luckily, the star's concussion wasn't too serious and he seemed to be back on his feet, ready to take revenge against The Purveyor of Violence.
During the recent Keepin' It 100 episode, Konnan claimed that Hangman Page's presentation and gear led to him coming off as less intimidating.
"It’s very hard to take [Hangman] Page seriously when he comes out in tassels, and fringes on the jeans like a Go-Go Dancer when he powerwalks. No, Drugstore Cowboy." (02:35 onward).

During an episode of the Jim Cornette Experience, the former WWE manager bluntly stated that Hangman Page has a bad attitude that is incapable of change.
"Page can go because of his attitude and it ain’t never going to get any better. He’s never proven that he can do anything well except back flip off the top rope blind. He can’t cut a f**king believable promo , he’s a problem in the locker room, but he’s also been the guy running his piehole saying ‘well I don’t take advice from veterans we’ve figured all of this out on our own.’ You can’t do anything with a guy like that." (09:36 onward).
Regardless, it seems that Hangman Page is back and here to stay since his feud with Jon Moxley is gaining traction. Until more news breaks, fans can only assume how much of an influence the star has had over CM Punk.
