I'm a fan, hoping the best for him wherever he lands. Dude has all the tools and could break out, if he could catch a break.

He just kept getting lost in the shuffle in AEW in factions that fizzled. Shackled to that complete charisma vacuum Scorpio Sky as Men of the Year, then in American Top Team, which was gaining momentum and then fizzled and died out, and then was set to be one of the top members in The Firm, set to be working with MJF in a feud with Punk before he burned everything down at the scrum following All Out.

Then the Firm fell apart, he ended up with Matt Hardy and his faction.. that went nowhere. Actually feel bad for the guy, so I'm hoping wherever he goes he gets used properly.

People constantly get lost in factions. One of the worst parts of wrestling over the past decade is an explosion of groups in major promotions. I remember when there were only like 3-4 of them in a company.

A byproduct of over hiring and hoarding I suppose.

Another talent who was wasted because of TK booking. Don't worry though, we'll get more Jungle Boy and the Lollipop Guild instead.

He’s a great high energy talker. Very similar to LA Knight. Some guys get passed over for whatever reason.

I’d 100% rather listen to Ethan Page on the mic, than watch Yuta, Garcia, Perry, OC wrestle. This is a failure by Tony Khan in not understanding what gets guys over.

The mic is a bigger tool in the tool bag than anything else a wrestler can use. Page had it.

He is way to talented to be wasted sitting on the sidelines. The guy would have been an AEW lifer and waved the company flag high. He was even willing to make the best of his time in ROH. Yet, they never gave him anything. The fact that he was given two different managers to talk for him still blows my mind.

It's because he resembles Wardlow. That's why AEW hates him

But in seriousness - I remember when he was feuding with MJF briefly in late 2022. He reached the finals of the #1 contender's tournament, losing to Ricky Starks. Ethan Page went over Eddie Kingston clean in that tournament. They plugged Ethan Page in a silly storyline with Matt Hardy, and I basically forgot about him.

I thought he was alright and could have been a solid upper midcarder at his peak
