Ethan Page Reacts To NXT Segment With The Rock
Yesterday at 09:44 AM
Ethan Page took to Twitter after The Rock made a surprise appearance on NXT.
While carrying his “People’s Champion” title belt, The Rock said it was good to meet him, but that he hadn’t heard all good things about the former NXT Champion.
He warned that “payback is gonna be a bitch” after hearing all the misdeeds Page has done in NXT. He offered Ethan Page help if he needed it, but warned that he need to be cool with Ava, who he called the “Final Boss of NXT”. The Rock ended the segment by telling Ethan Page to “Get your sweet ass out of here”.

Following that confrontation backstage, Ethan Page posted a video on Twitter about it. He talked of his dislike of Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Nick Khan, but mentioned how The Rock understood him. He ended it by playing off the People’s Champions’ catchphrase, claiming The Rock smells what he is cooking.
“You know. Shawn Michaels? Not a fan. Triple H? Not a fan. Nick Khan? I’m assuming not a fan. The FInal Boss? Final Boss seems to get what I got going on. Hell, he even said I had a sweet ass. I guess we can say that the Final Boss smells what Ethan Page is cooking.”

Ethan Page spoke with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard, who asked if there was anything from his career that he wished fans talked about more. Page said he doesn'thave anything that comes to mind, because he wants everything to feel fresh for the NXT audience.
Page highlighted a recent interview with Mike Tyson to put things in perspective. Tyson appeared on the Jazzy's World podcast and said he doesn't really believe in the idea of legacy.
"It means absolutely nothing to me. I'm just passing through," Tyson told Jazzy. "I'm going to die and then it's going to be over. Who cares about legacy after that?"
Mike Tyson's views on legacy resonated with Ethan Page
"Mike Tyson kind of touched on this in a weird way when he got interviewed by that little girl. When he started talking about death," Page explained. "It absolutely is the wildest thing but also it's the realest thing, especially when it comes to wrestling. Because you are talking about a guy who has a legacy and he will be talked about for the rest of his, for the rest of probably existence. In one way or the other, good or bad, it doesn't matter. He will be spoken of in some fashion. People talk about, 'Oh my legacy this, my legacy that…' Who gives a crap? When he's talking about that like it means nothing, that… That is the truth.
"There's so many things out of my control. My career is in the hands of a million people and none of those hands are mine. So, at the end of the day, this, 'Oh I hope people remember me for this, I hope…' I couldn't give less of a crap. I don't know if it's because I've been in this for 18 years now. I'm just like, I cannot focus on keeping this thing. This is not a real thing. It is an intangible thing. It's made up. And it's made up here in my own head. When I'm dead I'm gone. So who cares? I just want my kids to love me, my wife to love me. I'm good with that."
Page gave the topic some additional thought and said if his peers remember him, he hopes it's for being a positive and entertaining part of the business.
