I think the whole Boltin/Wolf/HoT feud has been so mismanaged. Wolf gets the big win and then jobs for half a year, and Boltin has ends up sucked into it when he could've just as well have had Wolf's spot at WK. I understand if they want Wolf to work his way up Young Lion style, but I think the two of them being so similar has hurt Boltin.

The conflict between wanting to get a breadth of experience working with top talents worldwide, and having to stick somewhere to solidify yourself, is a tough one.

Ehhh. I think he was undeniably great in DDT and the thinner he's been spread the less impressive he's become. But that's probably partially because I'm salty about him winning the G1 and then not wrestling a single tour match in across three title matches.

>>20427884
>But that's probably partially because I'm salty about him winning the G1 and then not wrestling a single tour match in across three title matches.
Perfectly reasonable to be salty about that, yeah. He's been roaming for a while now, I think it's getting to the point where he should pick somewhere and lock in so he can start building a legacy there.

Yeah, it's for me to disagree, though I doubt that'll be anywhere except AEW, money-wise. I'd be fine with him being a part-timer in NJPW if he'd just, you know. Actually part-time instead of wrestle disconnected matches. You can get away with that on weekly television but it just doesn't work with the way NJPW (or any Japanese promotion, for that matter) is booked.

And on the topic of criticising wrestlers, I honestly figured Ospreay getting flippier towards the end of his NJPW run was the end of it, but wow, he's really regressed with his time in AEW. I understand sizing down for health reasons, but he does three times as much high-flying stuff now and I'm not at all a fan.

A little, yeah. I'd get it if he had always been his BOSJ self, but there was genuinely a part there in pre-injury 2021 when he seemed like he had learned and gotten a clue. Just a shame to see that nobody in AEW is reeling him in because he's terribly talented under all that lack of impulse control.
