“Hangman” Adam Page has been around enough main-event talent during his 11 years wrestling to know what it takes to reach that level and stay there.

“I had to stand behind and watch Kenny [Omega] and all these IWGP title matches and matches with [Kazuchika] Okada, watch him from a distance become who he is,” Page told The Post in a phone interview ahead of his four-way match at All Elite Wrestling’s Fyter Fest show on June 29, which will stream for free on B/R Live starting with the pre-show at 7:30 p.m.

“The same thing with Cody [Rhodes] and The [Young] Bucks, so I’ve had more experience in being there and seeing how it happens for people, what toll it takes on them.”

Now, he’s finally getting the chance to make it happen for himself.

The 27-year-old Page won the Casino Battle Royale at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view last month. It earned him a match with Chris Jericho in the main event of All Out at the Sears Centre on Aug. 31 with a chance to become AEW’s first world champion. It’s been rewarding to be alongside Jericho on the event’s promotional material.

“The past couple of years I’ve been one of the consistently over and hot guys, and in my entire time in Ring of Honor I’ve never had a world title shot and certainly not in New Japan either,” Page said. “So it is gratifying because here in this position with All Elite Wrestling to feel valued, I guess, maybe more so than I ever have been.”

Page believes people never stopped seeing him as the kid who joined Bullet Club in 2016. No amount of great matches were able to free him from that perception.

“No matter what, you kind of stay that [kid] in a lot of people’s eyes,” Page said. “So it has been good to get away from that.”

He will be the kid in the match with the 48-year-old Jericho at All Out. Jericho has been begging all of AEW for a thank you, as he considers himself the reason for its success. Page is expecting to put a stop to that.

“He doesn’t deserve a thank you for anything,” Page said. “If anything, I think he should be the one handing out a little bit of a thank you to The Elite, but we’ll see at All Out the path he decides to go down when it’s all over.”

The event will lead AEW into its two-hour weekly television show, which will air live on TNT beginning this fall. Page said he and AEW’S core group have expected to sell out arenas for the few shows they’ve done and aren’t surprised 137,600 people were trying to get tickets for All Out. But they understand the barometer for their success will be weekly TV ratings.

“The real test for us and we all know this collectively, will be when TV starts and we’ll be in a different arena and a different city and a different state every single week,” Page said. “I’m very, very confident about it. I honestly am because I feel like the interest is there and I feel like in today’s society it doesn’t take years for something good to get established as being good. It just take a few minutes.”

Their July 13 show Fight For the Fallen to benefit victims for gun violence, will also be free on B/R Live to help get people watching their product. The hope is for AEW to tap into a dormant or even a new crop of wrestling fan

“I feel like there are a whole lot of people who might be interested but who are just not watching now,” Page said.

Before Page gets there he will get his hands on Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) in a four-way match with Jungle Boy and Jimmy Havoc at Fyter Fest. That event is the brainchild of Omega and is being run in conjunction with the CEO Fighting Gaming Championship in Dayton Beach, Fla.

MJF, AEW’s resident loud-mouth heel, spoiled Page’s title presentation at Double or Nothing.

“He’s a little p—k who I think would kind of pick a fight with anyone,” Page said. “So maybe, I should be flattered that he tried to pick a fight with me. He felt like that was something that was going to help move him up the ladder. I plan on making him realize that was a huge mistake.”

Page is also looking forward to stepping in the ring with Havoc and Jungle Boy, the son of “90210” and “Riverdale” star Luke Perry who died in March. Page wants to see what Jungle Boy brings to the table in his first match with him.

“I think he is very hungry, otherwise he wouldn’t have ended up here,” Page said.

This will be Page’s first true match with AEW after his scheduled one with PAC didn’t happen at Double or Nothing because of creative differences. The two instead fought days prior in England.

Page said he got on a plane with about 24 hours notice to make it happen. The missed AEW opportunity is something he will “forever be disappointed” with and that the two have unfinished business.

“I hope fans can maybe see through the disappointment they felt about that and realize that at least some people did everything they could to make good,” Page said. “I’ll always be disappointed about that because I was really looking forward to having the best match of the night on the show with PAC and it didn’t happen.”

Page prepared for the match by partaking in the “Full Gear Challenge” as part of a “Being The Elite” storyline focused on him trying to get in good enough shape to be worthy of being seen in his full wrestling gear. The angle took on a life of its own. Hundreds of people tagged him in their own workout videos.

Page said he felt guilty when the story twist became him taking “steroids” (which was ultimately Diet Coke in water bottle) to get ahead. But he was moved by the genuine response to the angle he never intended to be taken seriously.

“That always catches you by surprise, you know, the amount of inspiration, should you choose to, that you can give to people,” Page said.

He also got to make changes in his own life since his contract with Ring of Honor ran out and AEW hasn’t begun touring yet. Page, who is itching to get back on the road, has had plenty of free time. He used it to work on things around his new home and become handyman Adam Page.

“I’ve been honestly sitting in the living room every day doing little DIY projects,”he said. “Painting and making stuff and all that stuff. That’s been kind of cool. I got to find out I apparently have a passion for that.”

Starting at Fyter Fest, his next project is to make himself a household name, AEW’s first world champion and seize the opportunity to be the face of a copy he has waited his whole career for. He’s seen it happen for others. His time may finally be here.

“I know how this happens.” Page said. “I know how to make it happen and the first time in my career I’m getting the opportunity to do that.”
