I know many on here will probably only have seen his admittedly poor showing in the UK tournament, but outside of that he's having an amazing year. Matches in OTT vs Speedball, Moose, Matt Cross, Starr and Strickland have all been good to great, with at least three being MOTYC's for OTT. He's had two very good matches with Travis Banks in FCP and PROGRESS. The infamous match in ICW vs Trent Seven when he busted his head open on a tope and kept going. I saw him have a match with an 18 year old in a community centre in Dublin that was a hoot.
He's easily a top 20 guy for me.

I haven't seen enough of OTT to rate him, but I did see the Moose and Speedball matches which I loved. I also liked that Banks match in PROGRESS a ton. His UK tournament showing was straight up bad, but if I get time to catch up on OTT and FCP by the end of the year, I think he'll make my list.

I just can't see myself rushing out to buy a bunch of OTT shows, but I do confess that people who's opinion I greatly respect (Bohs included) swear he's had a hell of a year and that does make me interested. If there was one match of his to see what would it be?

The Moose match is a must see. Mid level MOTYC for me. Crowd is so into it. It just worked on every level.

Nah it's the other way round brother My main take away from that GIF is "holy shit that looks incredibly like the venue AWE used to run in Atlanta before that bar shut down".

It's a really cool little bar beside the big venue they use for their supershows.

Wish my local indie would use a bar for their shows. Glad kids can go and shit but I'll take a small bar show over a basketball gym show any time.

Devlin has been incredible this year post January. Obviously kills it in his home promotion but now he's branched out in to a place like FCP and arguably has become the most over heel on the roster. He definitely gave a bad first impression to many people but if you don't watch any of his non UK Tourney stuff this year then you're just missing out.

Big ol' discussion of him on the first part of the PID Top 100 matches gimmick that Quentin and I recorded tonight. Hope people enjoy that.
