One of the most consistent wrestlers in AEW since appearing. Great at conveying heart, emotion, and charisma. I have watched him live mutiple and he is great live. He has alot of range too.

Not enough case *yet*, but dam if I was a wrestler promoter I would love to build this kid as my top babyface in the near future. He's a total package and one of the most believable wrestlers today. Surprisingly good as a heel as well, and can cut good promos. I really feel like the sky is the limit for him.

His last 5 years have been quite good, even with a couple periods of him seemingly miscast. I'd give him till the next decade before considering him seriously for the project though.

Terrible look. No real sense of an engaging character in there. Matches are nothing special despite being constantly presented as a future star. Not a Top 100 wrestler.

Every match I see of him he's doing plenty of great little things that enhances it. I believe he will trascend as one of the best input wrestlers of all time the same way guys like Regal, Anderson or Finlay are, guys whose performance was always awesome and kinda different from anyone else but at the same time don't have as much higher highs to compete with top tier contenders like Funk or Kobashi or Santito.

Just this last week alone he had a great match with Adam Priest and days later another pretty good one with Claudio Castagnoli. He was a dickhead bully for Priest and a challenging stooge for Claudio, and both performances were so authentic and both felt like different sides of his current character, and not just a different role for each context. He's layered, he's so good at actually building to the big spots instead of spamming them throughout his matches, and because of that he more often than not takes most wrestlers out of their comfort zones and gives them some of their best matches currently (watch the recent Takeshita match too, maybe Takeshita's best this year). He still has a lot to live, but man do I have high hopes for him in 2036.
