Ethan Page is like indie wrestling's annoying little brother. Every now and then he does something funny or good but for the most part he's just so desperate to be accepted by the group that it comes off as sad and pathetic.

He's also one of those people that swears he doesn't take himself seriously when in reality he's like the worst in terms of doing that.

Also I think someone needs to explain Ethan Page to me. As promos go he seems like the best one on EVOLVE by a mile but his character seems like a weird post-Kevin Steen creature, the kind of character that gets heel heat but knows he gets heel heat and so tries to be a cool heel and it's all messy? I've got friends on Twitter who won't use his name cuz his fans mob people, which seems like the natural endpoint of the Cool Heel phenomenon. I haven't actually seen him wrestle a match yet but he did a pretty convincing bicycle kick whiff during a segment.

no it sounds like you get ethan page

and its not that his fans mob people its that he name searches aggressively

I just assumed every wrestler does (as does every one-hit wonder rap act of the '00s) but I've never heard of anyone else that folks on my TL actively avoid, I've been told he has enthusiastic boosters that make up the difference. Maybe he just cares more than most do.

He definitely reads that way. I guess one of the perks of playing a tryhard dick character is that the boundaries between work and shoot are immaterial

I was at a meet and greet once where Davey Richards and Ethan Page were forced to ride with fans on a bus to an AAW show. Davey brooded in the front alone while Ethan Page was sitting in the back, yucking it up with all the fans and generally being wonderful.

Edit: I was at the PWG show tonight. That was a great match and moment.

There's truth in what everyone is saying about Ethan Page. Personally speaking I've only have had positive experiences and I think he has it right in terms of treating fans with respect at shows and wanting to elevate Canadian Wrestling.

If/when he's a dick at least it is him and he isn't playing fake nice guy like so many do or is underhanded behind the scenes.

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.

I posted Trevor Lee vs. Michael Elgin in the MOTYC thread as an HM, but the other greatest CWF Mid-Atlantic match I watched today was:
White Mike vs. The New and Improved Chuck Taylor (3/25)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruHb0QKvEno

No spoilers, it's a comedy match, I liked it. Can't wait to see White Mike this Friday at Nova Pro when he teams with Timmy Lou Retton (The Gymnasty Boyz).

I'm so happy for Chuck Taylor winning the belt. My only greviance is that it didn't happen sooner.

And in every other promotion. Out of him and Ricochet I'd rather watch him wrestle, and he's so many times more entertaining as a character and promo, why do people like that half-black kid?
