Oh, yeah, Ernest Miller is definitely a boy HOFer. Also, I'll throw in a vote for Ice Train/MI Smooth.

Road Dogg, Regal, Finlay, Heidenreich, Rene Dupree.
The latter three are almost exclusively due to enjoying playing as them in video games.

I'd say the only hard boy run is to have never won a major world title, which OSW count as the WWE, NWA/WCW/WHC or IWGP. I imagine the Universal title would be counted.

I would take guys like Regal and Finlay, but that's just not fun considering the lack of title is the only thing Boy-ish about them. I also have Dalton Castle's boys on my list, but not Castle himself. He may not win any of those titles, but I figure he will eventually end with a ROH or equivalent title, and will be too dignified to be considered a Boy. When I take a Boy, I want to feel the cringe factor, or feel like I'm the only one that sees something special in a guy who is clearly not going to be a main eventer.

To be fair, OSW themselves will always admit that there are few hard and fast "Boy Rules", given how they often list very good or great wrestlers like Finlay or Regal and what have you. So your choices don't have to exactly be cringeworthy, though it's great if they are, but they should be wrestlers who were never top drawers, at least. That, or it can be a "decent but never at the top" wrestler whom you simply have a strong attachment to. My "non-cringy boys" list would be Tomohiro Ishii, WCW-era Steven Regal, Rick Martel's Model run and Tyler Breeze.

Yeah, I think most of those work well...and good call upthread about Silas Young and Beer City Bruiser, they're great Boy material, though Silas could be up the card sooner than later. Here's a good place to look: everybody involved in the WCW storyline where Glacier and Ernest Miller fought Mortis and Wrath.

Al Snow and New Jack, that's all. If the power duo isn't enough, chuck Shark Boy and Cheeseburger in there as well.

Kona Crush ("SHAKA BRAH!") Johnny Rodz (Been watching a lot of him lately, he's fun to watch.) Test (Good call.) D'Lo Brown (He'd be the leader.) Alex Wright (Again, good call.)

Some others I forgot who are my "boys"
Marty Jannetty
Max Moon- He was a spaceman with a jet pack and fast paced offense.
Erik Watts (circa 1992 WCW)- I was 8 or 9 years old and I bought into the whole "rookie sensation" hype.
