If you've watched OSW Review, you'll know the presenters have their own personal 'boys', which are wrestlers who aren't champions or main-eventers but you really like for some reason. The term 'boy' isn't gender-specific either, it's more like a phrase ("that's my boy!", etc.)
Was wondering if anyone had any 'boys' in AEW? Obviously we all love Page, Omega & Allen, but is there anyone further down the card you really root for?
Personally, I'm a big fan of Kip Sabian, as I remember watching him on ITV World of Sport & thinking he was really talented. Jimmy Havoc also has potential as a hardcore nutter (a bit like Steve Blackman with his bag of weapons back in the day). I adored his blood-checkered suit at Double or Nothing.

I want Brandon Cutler to beat Sammy Guevara so bad!
I’ll take him pinning Avalon, though.

Brandon Cutler is the big one, definitely. Avalon is good, too, but Brandon is so easy to root for, plus he's got great gear.

Leva Bates is totally my girl. Don't even have to think about that one.
Avalon and Cutler are great choices as well, and their feud is essentially a Boy feud, so even better.
Going up the card, Jurassic Express, especially Marko Stunt, are all boy candidates, but I have a feeling at least one of them is going to invalidate their boyhood by winning a world title. TH2 is also a decent choice.
I'll go with both Librarians, Marko Stunt, and Jack Evans as my boys.

Shawn Spears is definitely my boy. Love the guy even if he never rises above the midcard.

The Butcher, I like the whole throwback burly powerhouse look and style that he has going on. And provided he's not too over/good to qualify as a boy, Luchasaurus.

The Butcher, Luchasaurus, Hybrid 2 and The Dark Order are some names that come to mind, I'm tempted to include Orange Cassidy, but he's always got something going on, so I don't know if he counts as a 'Boy'? I don't know if alien's count, because I'd add Statlander to that list.

She hasn't been seen in ages, but I was a big Shanna fan honestly.

Peter Avalon is most definitely my boy. We could get another year without him winning and he'd still make me smile.

The Butcher, definitely... he'd be pushed to the top on my watch purely based on his look alone. Another shout for Yuka Sakazaki and her wonderful trousers too.

Hangman Adam Page is my man. I'm down with everything he does: drinking beer, no selling stupid comedy skits, drinking more beer, clotheslining the f*** outta people, etc.

Joey Janela, Sonny Kiss, and Orange Cassidy are my Jersey dudes.
MJF and Colt Cabana are also my dudes because they're Jewish and representation is important to me, even if MJF is the literal worst.

Edited because I misread the op sorry
My "midcard" Boy has to be Sonny Kiss. It takes guts to be in a new hot promotion but prioritize your education and shout out to AEW for letting him do exactly that.
Also Big Swole is the literal f***ing best, and I can't wait to see what she'd do with a title run.

Hangman Page? You know they can't be boys when they win the World title, right?
