Ethan Page has set his goals for the next year and beyond.
Page has been a staple on AEW television since joining the AEW in March 2021, linking up with Scorpio Sky as the Men of the Year. Page has yet to taste gold in AEW, but his mindset has changed as he's become more of a veteran in the business.
"As long as I'm in a better position, it's not that I'm not about chasing titles or main events, I just understand the way the business works a lot more now, in my old age. As I'm maturing in professional wrestling, my mindset has definitely changed. As long as I'm on an upward trajectory, I'm okay with it," Page told Chris Van Vliet on Insight when asked where he sees himself in a year.
When asked about being a champion in AEW, Page replied, "I would love that. I won't hang my hat on that. For me, my goals have changed in the sense that, I want to be able to work for a very long time, but I don't want to be in the ring for a very long time. I want to be able to leave a legacy in professional wrestling that has a connection with a large enough audience that I can be that guy at a convention in his 50s and 60s, getting to relive those glory days, meeting fans that grew up watching me performing, have a connection in pop culture to stay relevant and stay busy. For me to retire and just sit at home, I don't think that's going to be me. I want to be able to make sure I've left a foundation to be able to stay in the industry in some capacity, maybe even as a producer or helping people with the promos. I'm also pivoting, talking about the toy hunts, I'm trying to build a business on the side and find a niche market that I can succeed in. I'm doing my own comic book, that'll be coming out in a year or two. A lot of things in the works, but I'm not going to say no if I'm gonna be champ. Hell yeah."
Page lost to Miro on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite in a qualifying bout for the All-Atlantic Championship.
