Tacoma, WA – In a rare occurrence, a professional wrestler has been held accountable for a crime committed in an angle. AEW star “Hangman” Adam Page was arrested and quickly found guilty for burning down Swerve Strickland’s childhood home.
Strickland, who purchased his childhood home just a few hours before the fire, watched in horror with thousands at home as the supposed babyface “Hangman” Adam Page burned the building to the ground.
Shortly after, Page was arrested by Tacoma officials. A speedy trial was completed, Page was convicted, and a sentence of twenty years was given.
“Now, I don’t know much about wrestling. I was always a fan of roller derby, myself. But the point is that Mr. Page willfully and deliberately started the fire that consumed Mr. Strickland’s home,” said Judge Harland Semafor. “Seeing as how he did this in front of a camera crew and there’s an ongoing housing crisis, it was fairly easy to convict. We just had to wait until after All Out. Which I didn’t see.”
“It’s a pretty open and shut case,” explained Washington Assistant Attorney General Paul Kaputnik. “We’re also considering adding chargers for stalking as Mr. Page was obviously following Mr. Strickland around the country. There are also environmental issues. The fire caused so much smoke that Tacoma lost its iconic aroma for a few hours.”
With good behavior and if he shaves his mustache, Adam Page will be out by All Out 2039. There he can finally settle his blood feud by pinning Swerve Strickland’s shoulders to the mat for three seconds.
