AEW star Hangman Page heaped praise on Konosuke Takeshita
Speaking to Sakura, Hangman detailed what it's like to face the DDT star. He said it was the most tiring he had felt since facing Bryan Danielson in their one-hour time limit in December 2021. He added that America is lucky to have Takeshita:
"Today's match, holy sh*t, a lot harder than I thought it'd be. I didn't know much about Takeshta, I really didn't. I knew he was supposed to be good but oh my god, I am seeing stars, I am exhausted. I haven’t felt like this in a very long time maybe since my one hour match with Bryan Danielson. Takeshita-san, so good. All of America is lucky to have him." (from 0:13 to 0:54)
“American is lucky to have him” @theAdamPage on Takeshita. @AEW #AEWDynamite #ddtpro https://t.co/WxeUPbEkF7
Konosuke Takeshita continues to impress with every match in All Elite Wrestling. He has so far put on great bouts with the likes of Hangman Page and Jay Lethal. It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for Takeshita.
