2014 in Review

Well, I haven't had a blog entry in a while! Mostly because I'm getting married & my life has been hectic! As my Fiance pukes her guts out from some bad sushi, I'm up late tending to her & figured what the heck! Let's bring back the blog entries!

So I'm going to review 2014! I have a terrible memory so bare with me & make sure to tweet me your fav 2014 memory of #AllEgo

ANYWAYS... Let's get going!

2014 was a killer year for me. I captured the AAW tag team titles w/ long time friend & mentor Michael Elgin ... That was cool! Always held AAW in high regard as a fan & being featured as one of thier champions was awesome. Tons of killer matches spawned from this.

Also wrestled a bunch for Ring of Honor. Another goal/dream of mine. I've been watching ROH since I was 15 years old .... I'm 25! This was a dream come true & to perform in the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto was just the cherry on top. The whole dismise of my working relationship with ROH is only a small smudge mark on what was an awesome experience & achievement!

Turning a new leaf in AIW was HUGE! Getting to mold my character into something fresh & take a leap in a new direction was amazing. From Absolution 9 till now has been a ride I'll never forget. #GoodGuyEthan

Dropping the Alpha Male title to Alessandro Del Bruno. The match, the moment & the whole experience was magical. Honestly. Everything I love about wrestling. The air was thick & just felt special. Check it out if you have the funds! www.smartmarkvideo.com/alpha-1-wrestling
Event: Immortal Kombat 2

Winning a bunch of tag belts with Josh Alexander! We won the BKPW tag belts, the Fringe Pro Tag Belts .... I'm having a brain fart ...
But either way. It was a good year us. Even though we lost those belts shortly after winning them & lost the IWL tag titles too ... BOOOOO!

Oh yeah. Had some fun matches in Evolve & DGUSA! Worked my first non-english speaking wrestler at DGUSA in one of those most fun matche's ever! So! Let's get to my top 10 Matches of the year!

#10 - vs Buff Bagwell (AIW)
The infamous CANADIAN DESTOYER! It was a challenge & pleasure working with Buff!

#9 - Dog Collar Match: vs Eddie Kingston (AIW)
I rarely throw down in the hardcore relm. This is a visual masterpiece.

#8 - 2/3 Falls Cage Match: Monster Mafia vs Young Bucks (IWL)
Anytime the young bucks are involved it's a good time! Especially vs US!

#7 - MOTY vs Ricochet & Uhaa Nation (AAW)
This is 100% a must see match from AAW's Jan event!

#6 - 4 Way Tag Match - ROH iPPV
Wasn't the longest or most epic match, but was a big one. Showcased us to the world & gave us the chance to say "yeah... We belong" and we did. 

#5 - Ethan Page vs Silus Young - (ROH)
Wasn't much of a match but it showcased what I was capable of & delivered on TV! Big moment!

#4 - Ethan Page vs Yuske Santa Maria (Sp?) (DGUSA)
The crowd that night in Brooklyn, NY was OFF THE WALL INSANE! Just amazing! Proud of this one for sure. Was a challenge working someone who doesn't speak English, but it all worked out!

#3 - Monster Mafia vs ReDRagon - (ROH)
This was just perfect! TV match, 8 mins, stole the show! Was magical haha' loved it!

#2 - Ethan Page vs Alessandro Del Bruno (Alpha-1)
Honestly one of the best matches I've ever had & will ever have. Bruno is amazing & we delivered! 

#1 - Ethan Page vs Johnny Gargano (AIW) 
I'll never have a match like this again in my life. Broke my wrist. Gave it my all. Pushed myself 
The story was perfect. The timing was perfect. The crowd was perfect. The mood. The setting. The match. Just ... Perfect. My best match in 8 years of wrestling.
Hands
Down.
