Then the pandemic happens. For a couple of months, due to location, The Bucks and Page aren't on the show. The Bucks return to set up a Stadium Stampede match at a PPV. They're attacked, and Adam Page handsomely runs down an entire football field for the rescue.

Feeling like he's let everyone down, Hangman starts drinking. This isn't a bad taste alcoholism story or anything - Page likes a drink, is all. But he's definitely using it to help avoid how he's feeling. This has been a character trait since.

You can see him here, back in his days in Japan (with the noose around his neck). This was part of the legendary wrestling faction 'Bullet Club'. The other three relevant characters - the two with bandanas (the Young Bucks) and the centre guy with the hair (Kenny Omega).

But Hangman's insecurities have still taken hold. He's struggling. He can be charming and funny about it, calling himself the 'Anxious Millennial Cowboy'... but he clearly doesn't believe in himself. And it's becoming a problem.

Kenny Omega is a big deal. Championships everywhere. The Young Bucks are his best friends, and arguably the best tag team in the world. They'd be in Omega's corner in major matches (both as heel/bad guys and face/good guys) while in Japan.

Enter a new team, FTR. They're old friends of Hangman and they're more like him than the Bucks or Omega. They start drinking with him, and he's so desperate for friendship, he doesn't realise they're playing him.

In terms of ambition, Dracula has to sleep in the earth. And it has to be the earth where he died. He doesn't have to sleep in a coffin filled with earth - that's his innovation. It let's him escape his natural confinement.

Kenny Omega has also had a few losses that he's taken heart. They're still both part of The Elite and friends, so they form a tag team. It's immediately successful.
