Rickey Shane Page (born March 1, 1984) is an American professional wrestler currently signed to Major League Wrestling, where he is a member of The Calling, the current MLW World Tag Team Champion, in his first reign and the current MLW National Openweight Champion, in his first reign. He also wrestles on the independent circuit.
Page started out as a backyard wrestler before making the transition to professional wrestling, where he was trained by Chris Kole, and debuted in 2003. He wrestled under a mask as Christian Faith on the independent circuit, and regularly teamed with Vincent Nothing, becoming multiple-time tag champions in different promotions. Despite the popularity of his partnership with Nothing, he began wrestling under his own name in 2011, and retired the Christian Faith character in 2015. Page is known for his work in Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), where he was a one-time CZW Heavyweight Champion and the winner of the CZW Tournament of Death in 2016. The following year, he became IWA Mid-South's King of the Deathmatch, becoming one of five men to have won both CZW and IWA Mid-South's annual deathmatch tournaments. He is also known for his work in Game Changer Wrestling (GCW), where he is a one-time GCW World Champion. He sporadically makes appearances in Olde Wrestling as Judge Hugo Lexington Black, a corrupt lawmaker.
Professional wrestling career
Combat Zone Wrestling (2015–2018) After making two appearances in November 2011, and February 2012 as a heel and in winning efforts, Page began making more frequent appearances for Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW) in 2015. This began at Tournament of Death 14, where he lost to Danny Havoc in the first round. Page and Havoc showed respect to one another after the match, establishing Page as a face. At Cage of Death, he faced Havoc again in a losing effort, and later at Seventeen with a spot on the roster on the line in another losing effort. He would continue to try and earn a spot on the roster by entering the 2015 Best of the Best tournament making it to the semi-finals, where he was defeated by Jonathan Gresham. He would eventually earn a spot on the roster by winning Tournament of Death 15, defeating Tim Donst in the first round, Conor Claxton in the semi-finals, and then CZW World Champion Matt Tremont in the finals. Page would spend the rest of the year teaming with Havoc and continuing their feuds with Tim Donst and Alex Colon respectively. They lost a tag team match to Donst and Colon at The Boss is Back, and eventually, all four would compete in the Tangled Web, with the opportunity for any match of their choosing. Havoc would go on to win the match, and selected a match with Page at Cage of Death, where Page was finally victorious.
Page earned a world title opportunity against Joe Gacy where he came up short, and lost his next two matches against Dave Crist and Maxwell Jacob Friedman. He would then win an eight man Ultimate Opportunity scramble match, where the winner would be awarded a coin that signified that they could cash in for a title shot for the World Championship any time they wanted. Page would continue to lose matches throughout the rest of the year until November, where he would cash in his opportunity for a world title match against Gacy, who had just defeated Shane Strickland for the title, despite claiming he would cash in his opportunity at Cage of Death in the namesake match. Page would then challenge both men to a three-way Cage of Death match where he came up victorious. Page defended the title against Tremont and Ethan Page, as well as in other promotions. He was defeated by Friedman at Best of the Best 17, ending his reign at 154 days. Page would also make it to the finals of Tournament of Death 17, before losing to Jimmy Lloyd. Page spent the remainder of the year feuding with Friedman, earning another shot at the title by defeating Mance Warner in the #1 Contendership tournament final, with their match supposed to take place inside the Cage of Death. However, due to Friedman suffering an injury, the title would be vacated. In order to determine a new champion, Page would again face Warner, this time inside the Cage of Death for the vacant title. Page would go on to lose the match in what would turn out to be his final appearance in the company.
