Ethan Page is a good dude who actually seems to care about his fellow wrestlers.

Ethan Page, without my permission and certainly without compensation, used my tweets in his little webshow. I take that poo poo personally. He's a greasy little weirdo riding my coattails to greatness.

I went on a party bus with Ethan Page to an AAW show a few years ago and he seemed genuinely stoked to be there and just answered all my dumbass questions with great zeal. So I'm a fan.

Cool. Thanks for the info guys.

Being canadian and not really following what happens on social media or in the US indies, you'll have to pardon my ignorance. It really is a different world up north than what you're used to haha.

He's in tight with Sami and the Crist's so I'm sure he'll be fine. Seems like most of that regular Rockstar Pro crowd is taking over the midwest right now.

It’s been a while but I believe they involved saliva and urine. Page doesn’t rate for feces.

A few years ago on a podcast he got defensive about being allowed to misgender trans people. I’ve long since forgot the source but it was pretty gross and the host apologized the next week. Bad man!

I would hope he's evolved on that issue in the intervening years but I don't know if they book him there

I've talked a friend about this: Alex Reynolds is very much A Good Hand (with a rep for being a great trainer, as well), but the current indie scene is not really about Good Hands. He's a valuable part of a locker room/card, but not in a way that's super engaging from a fan POV.

So accurate. The guy is also a god when it comes to chain wrestling but personality is what ultimately makes or breaks you in the indies and it’s something not everyone is good at unfortunately. It’s hard to consistently come out of your shell and subject yourself to trial and error when it comes to personality. There’s so many good indie wrestlers that fall under this category that you would never hear about because they lack that extra umph to push them to the next level.

Edit: I should confirm that this happened.

Were you over by where Joey Janela and Nate Webb were walking through the crowd during Webb’s entrance, by the time Janela got to where I was he was dejectedly saying “I thought this was supposed to be everyone vs everyone” and I didn’t catch what happened.

No, sadly, I didn't catch that either. Neither of them really went past me.

Hmm, what are the Alex Reynolds chain wrestling matches I need to see?

I wouldn't even say he's completely lacking in personality, though, and he and John Silver compliment each other well. But he's basically Tye Dillinger without the TEN, a utility wrestler. There's absolutely nothing WRONG with that, and in fact the Uncharted Territory format probably makes him more valuable to Beyond than he's ever been before.

I've seen the dude train and wrestle before shows and stuff so I couldn't name anything off the top of my head. I agree with Uncharted Territory being a boon to him and he a boon to Beyond. What I meant to say by personality is having that larger than life personality/character or gimmick that transcends everyone else. His version of TEN to agree with your point.
