The Sharpshooter gets a great popCanadians don’t get booed.
Canadians are welcomed home with open arms as kings and queens, whether they be faces or heels. As long as no one slags off on the country, they’re behind their homegrown heroes 100%.
We’ve seen it with the likes of Edge, Christian, Trish Stratus, and even Bret Hart himself, who at a certain point was one of the most hated men in America but undeniably loved in his home country.
Ethan Page & Josh Alexander break the mold
Recently, Impact Wrestling shot several episodes in Windsor, Ontario, Canada where many felt The North would be welcomed as conquering heroes, bringing the Impact Tag Team Titles home. However, All Ego Ethan Page was pretty sure that it would turn out differently, as he told Chris Van Vliet in a recent interview.
The locker room and backstage producers assured them that they were about to get a huge ovation. Page knew in his gut, however, that they were walking into hostile territory. Needless to say, he was right.
It seems that the 29-year old star really understands his audience if he can predict something like that.
Check out the rest of Chris Van Vliet’s interview with Ethan Page above. He delves into his time trying to get signed with Impact Wrestling, and even attempts to give his own Mt. Rushmore of Canadian Wrestlers. (Spoiler, Bret Hart is there)
If you’d like to know more about Chris Van Vliet, his style on conducting interviews, and more, be sure to tune into the next episode of Dropkick DiSKussions with our own Gary Cassidy!
