Men of the Year was certainly a vehicle to get Ethan Page on screen, so while I think that giving the mic to Lambert instead of Page was a crime, it's not like he wasn't treated as a major part of the show. But Page in AEW has been...weird. He's been well-featured, and he's good at every part of wrestling, but even before Lambert was a part of his act, he has always felt like he was missing something. I dunno if that's just that some of his heel shtick feels generic to me, or if the material he's had has left me cold (because it very much has), because I can't see anything about the guy that isn't main event level. He's even one of my picks for most attractive men on the roster. Maybe it's that he feels like a 4/5 in every category instead of a 5/5 in any one category? So I can't help but feel like a change is needed to get him to another level, because he isn't already and there's nothing ability-wise to stop him, so a new direction is the best choice. Yeah, something’s definitely missing but having been w/Sky/Lambert for the majority of his AEW tenure might have something to do with it. He needs..something new.

I want to see the Evolve Wrestling Ethan Page, the megalomaniac narcissist who made everybody's life hell just for attention.

I believe Scorpio is out for awhile, and Ego doesn't need Lambert.

Good. Men of the Year was trash, the worst part of AEW for a while.

I hadn't seen any of Stokely before this AEW run, and like, I'm marveling at how good this guy is. He's just hype incarnate. He makes everyone around him seem more lively. He's the best manager I've seen since the late Larry Sweeney, and I've barely seen him.

Hopefully this means more TV time for Ethan. Criminally underused talent.

Yeah, I'd add Private Party and a young gun like Lee Johnson.

I'm in favor of anything that leads to less Dan Lambert.

Stokely being the new Heenan would be perfect.

I want the group to be Lee Moriarty, Lee Johnson, Keith Lee, and Ethan Page. And he is forced to be rebranded as Ethan Lee.
Stokely Hathaway then changes the spelling of his first name to Stokelee.

Ethan Page had some great, GREAT singles matches in Impact and really elevated that moribund promotion. Was one of the reasons to watch. There’s no reason why he cannot have constant 4 to 5 star ranked matches by Meltzer. I echo the sentiments, it’s time. The time was last week, last year.

I'm fine with it. Men of the Year never really clicked for me as a team and Stoke might be enough to make Ethan interesting.
