Ethan Page recognized by Canadian government for ‘outstanding global impact’
Ethan Page has been recognized by the Government of Canada.
On Friday, Page shared a video of himself alongside Ned Kuruc, the Member of Parliament for the Hamilton East–Stoney Creek riding in Ontario. Page is from the area and also runs the Alpha-1 Wrestling promotion locally.
In the video, Kuruc presents Page with an official document of recognition and says:
“Ethan, thank you very much for coming in today. We appreciate you. This is a recognition from myself and the Government of Canada and Parliament to Ethan Page in recognition of your outstanding global impact through sport and entertainment. You represent Canada tremendously. You are a Canadian hero in my eyes, so thank you for all the goodwill that you do for Canada and Stoney Creek and Hamilton because you are a local legend.”
Page said:
“Ladies and gentlemen, this is what I’ve been doing since I started wrestling,” he said while waving a small Canadian flag. “I will continue to do it, and it feels good to be recognized for it. I’ll be honest, Ned, when you invited me, I really thought you guys were gonna unveil a statue in Stoney Creek.”
Alpha-1 Wrestling runs events in the Hamilton area approximately every two months. Its next show, Immortal Kombat X, is scheduled for April 12. Former WWE wrestler Tyler Breeze is advertised.
The promotion’s previous show took place on March 1 and featured Laynie Luck defending the WWE ID Women’s Championship. The Butcher, Mark Wheeler, Moose, Brian Myers, and Brandon Cutler also appeared.
Page is also scheduled to be in Ricky Saints’ corner when Saints faces Tony D’Angelo on the Tuesday, March 24 edition of NXT.
