Ethan Page Addresses Criticism Of ‘Karate Man’ Character
Did Ethan Page “eliminate business” with his ‘‘ Karate Man’character? Page definitely didn’t believe so, and he dealt with those criticisms on a current episode of Going Postl with Swoggle.
Page drew contrasts to the angle with Elias/Ezekiel, and what it resembled attempting to depict both characters on tv. You can check out highlights of Page’s look listed below:
Bringing ‘‘ Karate Man’to tv:”You wish to know what makes me the most mad? This is truthfully, this is my curse. It’s my present, however it’s likewise my curse. I do whatever prematurely. This is peak pandemic, I have absolutely nothing going on, how am I going to have the ability to inform stories with simply myself? I’ll produce this other character, I’ll fight with myself, there are product alternatives, all this things. I’m doing double reservations. I’m taking these paydays where Ethan Page battles at 2, Karate Man battles at 4, Ethan Page battles at 8. Karate Man outsold Ethan Page in merch. The entire time I’m believing, ‘‘ People do not inform me what to do.’ When it was kind of like pressed on me to bring it on tv, I was eventually provided a warning where it was like, ‘‘ On your exit, you can either turn on your tag partner and do this fight with him, or you do Karate Man on Television.’ I resembled, ‘‘ Well, there may be cash in the future for this, so let’s simply do Karate Man on Television.’ In my mind, I’m believing, ‘‘ this will be great as long as…… ‘and I was extremely singing about this: it gets provided as 2 different individuals, so there is Ethan Page on the program and there is Karate Man on the program. Nobody comprehended it, or they selected not to. In either case, it’s great, it’s not my program, I can’t manage whatever. Everything exercised in the end.”
WWE doing the Elias/Ezekiel angle: “Then I see on WWE, about a year later on, they do precisely what I wished to finish with Elias. Everybody enjoys it. Rave evaluations. Genius concept even. Ingenious. I’m believing, ‘‘ Hold on, I eliminated business on a program nobody truly saw? This man …’ It was incredible, all the power to him. The entire time, I’m believing like, ‘‘ Do we simply pick who draws?’ The part that draws is that when it pertains to funny, everybody has their own design, however my design is really major. It sounds dumb, however I believed the more severe and on the nose you dealt with Karate Man, the funnier it is. The more campy it is, the less amusing it is to me. It’s nearly like you’re beating individuals over the head. ‘‘ This is expected to be amusing. You’re expected to laugh.’ No, if we treat it like these are 2 different individuals, I assure, I’ll play them both to a tee. You need to take it like it’s major, individuals believe it’s funny. The Karate Man lives. He’ll be around permanently. I’m putting him in another job, coming quickly.”
