Some decent praise for the American Top Team owner.
Since showing up in AEW, Dan Lambert has proven to be a polarizing figure in the promotion as a manager. He has brought in several MMA fighters from his gym to the promotion, including Paige VanZant. Lambert has also taken to managing Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky.
In a new interview with “Insight With Chris Van Vliet”, Page praised Lambert for the notoriety he’s brought to Page and his partner, Scorpio Sky, also known as the Men of the Year in AEW.
“Honestly, the amount of people that he’s had us brush shoulders with and share the ring with, his connections, the heat that he gets from the crowd, [it’s incredible],”
“I’m noticing lately, people are turning the corner on Dynamite Dan and I think it’s because they understand the fact that he is a world-class entertainer, he’s a performer. He is knocking it out of the park every single week. Us as a unit, I don’t think there’s ever been a time where we’ve been on screen and people have been like, ‘Well, that kind of stinked’ … I’ve been noticing that we’re on television every single week and people don’t ever remember the length of it, they just remember that they got to see us.”
“So, I am all about wordplay, things that sound good when they come out of my mouth, shock value. Like, ‘Did this guy really just say that?’
“To stand out, to be different, and my social media has always been like, oh, what’s going to get a laugh? What’s going to get a like? What’s going to get some interaction? And I’ve always been a silly dude, and I thought, okay, why do females only get to say the word tits? So I was like, ‘I got tits too and they’re the tightest in the game!’

Time will tell if Lambert will be more liked on social media by fans in the coming weeks, but for now he has remained a source of frustration and ridicule from wrestling fans. What do you make of Dan Lambert’s role on AEW TV? Let us know in the comments section and on our social media pages.
