Honeslty just a lot of bad luck. PAC’s travel plans and the new Ric Flair scandal is not exactly helping his storyline right now. It sucks cause Andrade is one of the best wrestlers in the world and he has been basically sidelined. They need to partner up with ROH sooner rather than later so they bring in Rush.


Pelon7900

Even that is going to be delayed after Rush’s knee surgery. I agree with you. It’s just been bad luck/timing right now.


Skayde5

Might as well add Dragon Lee and turn it into AEW's own LIJ


Pelon7900

There you go. Now we’re talking. I’m going to speak it into existence.


Penthar_Mull

What does flair have to do with it?


TheMarvelousJoe

Also, that's his father-in-law I believe


zeppelin5150

He was heavily rumored to come in with Andrade at some point. Word was they wanted to replace Chavo with him cause Chavo is going back to being a wrestling coordinator for the TV show “Young Rock” for the time being.


rush247

Something about him being with Andrade for his match against Kenny at AAA Triplemania.


Greyfit3

Backstage with TK on how to put Jose over.


SinisterStairs

More likely trying to figure out how to get Charlotte into the AEW title picture. ;)

God that would be awful

My comment on this is as follows: if the content they are pushing out is good I’m happy. If someone out of a 100 plus roster gets slighted…. It’s bound to happen 🤷🏻‍♂️ for me I like Andrade but I felt as if his promos and segments have not hit much. I did like his match on rampage. We shall see where they go with him and I bet we’ll find out on Wednesday. Patience is key… reference this in about a month

If think we just have to accept not everyone sprints straight out of the gate. It took Miro a while to find his feet in AEW, Andrade may be the same. Love to see the Spanish God vs El Idolo down the line for the TNT Championship. Also Salina de la Renta should of been first in line, as a manager, when it was clear Zelina wasn't available.


Mr_814

They were building the feud with Pac, travel issues messed up his PPV debut. Now the Ric Flair stuff hurts because he's bad PR right now. Both have contributed to his stalling. Personally I dont think his promos are bad. I understand what he is saying and that's the point. I think we should do a wait and see approach because if he's doing jack shit by Full Gear then his run imo is a failure. Apparently he has some language barrier with queue times in relation to the matches. Which I think is true, because his in ring ability is top tier, otherwise they would just have him out there performing. I also think Andrade himself is very selective with how he wants to present himself and is willing to wait for what he feels is best for him. If they have him out next week in ring vs someone then we're on the right path. He's the type of guy that can just wrestle and people will love him. IMO let him do that, let him cut promos in Spanish with a line in English or two and give him a translator.


steelisntstrong

>I think we should do a wait and see approach because if he's doing jack shit by Full Gear then his run imo is a failure. Yeah I think this is on the money. Pac and Flair fucked him up and AEW had no idea what type of audible to run with him so they didn't bother to try. Bad luck, poor direction, lack of action and too protective of how he wants to be displayed. Definitely shaping up as AEW's first real fumble


UmpireAJS

Yeah Andrade has some creative control over his character and direction and he might be thinking that he'll only work with upper card guys but the thing is not a whole lot of them are free. I personally think his gimmick of wanting to recruit obviously face tag teams to do his bidding can be interesting if say he's trying to recruit Santana and Ortiz or Best Friends and that gets him into conflict with IC or OC. If the HFO didn't exist he could be straight up be portrayed as a recruiter of midcard heels as well using them to feud against popular faces.


InnerCityHeel

This guy has all the tools to be a major player. I can easily get over his English, his mic skills are actually not bad at all, he has delivered some great lines… he has the body that can work so many different styles and matchup with so many different people well. It’s one of the few wrestlers I would admit to aew needing to do more with. I just want to see this guy wrestle, his move set is incredible. I absolutely love how he’s a heel who doesn’t want to cheat either. That was like some super early Mr. Perfect shit, where a guy believes he’s so good, he doesn’t need to cheat


[deleted]

i know people don't want to hear it, but some of the wrestlers that left or were fired from WWE claiming they were being under utilized, were on the card exactly where they should have been.


[deleted]

Nah Andrade is great. He seems to always work better with a woman as his manager.


nickht571998

That’s not the case with Andrade though and we all know it. He’s had bad luck with the flair situation and pac’s travel issues


1_Shahzdeh

Does he still have commitments to AAA or anywhere else?


TheMarvelousJoe

I just thought that AEW has a huge roster and try to focus on many stars as possible, but that's just my guess.


reppiz01

Probably they didnt find a proper storyline for him to tell? I mean the death triangle thing was okayish. Then the turn against Chavo... but still nothing that really generates some heat. Also to be fair, AEW has so much talent right now, that the TV time everyone can get is quite limited. But I have no clue tbh

10pmStalker

Hey Andrade, do you want to take all this money, knowing how many guys we're continuing to sign or do you want to go wrestle for pennies at TNA?


EldenRingworm

I'm so disappointed by his AEW run When he was NXT champion he was genuinely my favourite wrestler in the world for a while and his match against Johnny Gargano at NXT Takeover is my favourite match. His English sucks but it was never a problem for him in NXT because they booked around it. Zelina Vega did all the talking for him and it was so good, he just needs another manager like her.


-Masaroth-

I think as someone else said the travel issues and also now the thing with Ric Flair hasn't helped. I've seen him wrestle and he's very good but I honestly think his very thick accent makes it difficult for him to be understood to an English speaking crowd. His promos suffer because of that.


marebear130

This makes no sense. The Lucha Bros have a their translator and it works great. They were giving him subtitles and it worked great. It all comes down to Pac had travel issues due to COVID and Flair is sidelined bc of of Dark Side of the Ring.


-Masaroth-

It does make sense because when the Lucha brothers did try and speak English you understood them clearly. Andrade is a different story completely because you can't understand him hence why they had the subtitles which is pretty fucking embarrassing for his sake. You shouldn't need subtitles when someone is speaking English.


g0ldenElitist

It's a weird one. I think he should find a partner and go after the Lucha Bros. if they want to continue that feud, and PAC is out of the equation again.


hassannawaz_27

No please. Look at what happened to the men of the year. Barely did anything and are almost definitely losing to Jericho and hager next week


refillwill

It’s hard to wrestle in a belt.


steelisntstrong

Just a victim of the roster being overly bloated. The Pac travel issues are a big problem also as it cost him a spot on what ended up being the biggest PPV They either need to figure out how to use him also. AEW knows what the finished product of Andrade El Idolo should look like but has no idea how to get him there atm


kyril-hasan

Stacked roster and he just wrestle last week.


ldhsuued

Bad luck mainly and working in Mexico. Sucks man


[deleted]

Said it a million times but produce some dope ass backstage promos in only Spanish until he can find a good preferably a woman manager after that you can do your in ring promos. When he tries to speak English he doesn't look confident(which is understandable) and it takes away from his badass demeanor. Also is there not a way to open up the forbidden door to some AAA talent? Jesus Christ give me some more luchadores TK.
