AEW star Ethan Page thinks Dan Lambert is super-underrated and deserves more credit from those inside and outside of the pro wrestling biz.

Page told onlookers at Terrificon that Dan is "one of the greatest professional wrestling performers that [he's] ever worked with". Explaining, the ex-Men Of The Year member said Lambert managed to overcome a lack of formal training to show his value on AEW TV during promos.

Lambert burst onto screens in 2021 as the mouthpiece for American Top Team, but quickly settled into a groove as manager for wrestlers like Page and partner Scorpio Sky. Dan later told Chris Van Vliet that he was the one who brought the curtain down on his All Elite run by telling Tony Khan he thought the character had run its course.

Page thinks Lambert had more to offer, and put him over as "one of the best minds" he's ever worked with in wrestling. The current Hardy Boys enthusiast also said he couldn't "say enough good things about Dan" generally.

It remains to be seen whether or not Khan will ever bring Lambert back to TV in the future.
