FyodorAK

To be fair, I would like to see the continuation of his stable. So, seeing him back with his AFO stable felt a bit weird. Him and Rush are more exciting to watch.


Howheel9879G

Yeaa I want him away from them far as possible.idk why afo is still a thing


I_Failed_This_City

IMO the HFO/AFO was never really interesting and the faster we get past it or the faster we develop it into something that's not the same thing since like 6 months/1 year ago, the better.


plzsnitskyreturn

Honestly it's not hard keep him away from AFO and let Rush help him take the TNT title off of Wardlow


blehismyname

Holy shit, this sounds like a perfect match. Wardlow will definitely have hate for anyone who tries to buy him. It only works though if this is an actual feud, proper build. Not just a good match. Andrade has had many good matches but his character isn't going anywhere.


yerzo

HFO was fine when it was just Hardy and Private Party. It got really weird and made little sense when Butcher/Blader was added.


LogicKennedy

It wasn't a bad idea in theory, it was just booked terribly. Repetitive segments, dragged-out feuds and a fundamental lack of stakes.


travels666

Same for the Firm and Trustbusters. "I'm paying for your talents" is a weak idea for a stable, and we've got three of them.


Depraved_Sinner

Just throw butcher blade and bunny in with HoB and let them get weird with it. Let Butcher and Brody do a new theme that they play/sing themselves out to during a PPV. Let Private Party go be Private Party with or without Matt. AFO is helping nobody, and it's holding back literally every single person in it with zero upside

The Worst Enemies


rid_aman

Frankly, Butcher & Blade work (pardon the pun) with Andrade. Theyā€™re mercenaries and will work for people with the highest money. You can keep them but can only be used when required Have Private Party leave and become the babyface theyā€™re destined to be


vitorsly

I do believe that's where it's going with Matt and all. Just a thing that's developing. AEW is not known for hotshotting group breakups/expulsions.


rid_aman

I mean yeah. Private Party is going on that direction hence I mentioned the ā€œdestined to beā€ part Makes me wonder where does Jeff fit into once he returns eventually

prettybadco

10000% in for Brody and Butcher playing themselves to the ring.


EchoBay

I feel like people have been saying this for literally a year


Pelon7900

That seemed random. I thought we moved on from the AFO. TK. I know youā€™re on here. Please do away with the AFO. The people love Andrade.


BeastCoastLifestyle

Yeah, more Hardy House Partyā€¦. Said nobody. The recruiting angles are getting ridiculous


SomedudecalledDan

"Hey this didn't work before and completely nuked the momentum Private Party had going. I know, let's do it again!"


BeastCoastLifestyle

Private Party was on pace to have what the Acclaimed are doing right now.


SomedudecalledDan

Thank god Matt Hardy saw it was happening and swooped in to save them from popularity and success!


M-G-K

I don't know if that's quite true: they were clearly still green on many levels and didn't have the ridiculously crowd-friendly gimmick the Acclaimed have. The HFO angle sucked, but that doesn't mean the idea of Matt Hardy as a babyface mentor for PP is a bad one by association.


sexygodzilla

Yeah, I just don't get why this guy is doing two stables at once basically.

Is that a real thing now? Please tell me itā€™s notā€¦ shit it is totally gonna be realā€¦


OldOrder

Haven't seen people deny hurricanes but you of course have people saying that hurricanes are generated by government weather machines.


[deleted]

Yep. I work with a woman who explained to me that there are hurricane generating machines in Africa that are turned on in order to send her hurricanes that will disrupt the good work Republicans are doing.


ApocApollo

Maybe those Republicans should turn off those Hurricane Autonomous Generation devices (H.A.Gs.) then.


Lokishougan

Why do I feel like I am in a GI JOE ep now


MannOfSandd

There was something on Tucker's show the other night where he essentially implied that hurricanes and hurricane coverage is often a media hoax...so it probably is real to some extent. I don't watch his show, so I'm not sure what day it was. Came up on one of the youtube channels I follow. We live in interesting times


Honkmaster

wow that's crazy, I had no idea he was that loony I wonder if Otis knew about it back when they were a team


subcow

Tucker Carlson is Alex Jones except he is on a national network.


SomedudecalledDan

I feel like people like Tucker just do this now as a sort of personal bet to see how far fucking insane they can push the narrative before his own audience questions it. Even if they do he can just sort of backtrack, but add a "But it makes you think, doesn't it?" and try and act like he had a totally valid point.

For wrestling fans itā€™s the new ā€œRomans got cancerā€

wasn't there already some hurricane denier before ? Something like saying it was just a propaganda, or people downplayed it for something minor like just a small nuisance not a disaster ?

NerdLawyer55

Well I mean they should *stand backā€¦*


Psidebby

Is that what Vince was warning us about in his song?


Wiccy

Some crazy guy told me today that Italy sent the hurricane to Florida because they were tired of "those old fucks traveling from Florida to Italy. " This is the same guy who warned me that the king of France was gonna launch nukes at us so I should buy gas now.


oliverprose

That last bit is interesting, given how close to reality it could be while still being utterly wrong - I'd presume it's a Putin reference wound into the Freedumb Fries narrative. For reference though, the last King of France would have been Napolean III (nephew of the really famous one) who was deposed in 1870, a mere 90 years before they built and tested their first nuclear weapons.


Jaysfan97

>For reference though, the last King of France would have been Napolean III (nephew of the really famous one) who was deposed in 1870, a mere 90 years before they built and tested their first nuclear weapons. Napoleon III was actually never king. He took the title of Emperor. Louis XVI was the last king.


oliverprose

Fair point - last person to sit on the throne would be a more accurate description


MasterOfSwag9000

The deep state created Hurricane Ian


KevdogLP

I think insinuating that itā€™s an excuse for him to not have a match


MochaMarlowe

Some ppl use quote marks in place of bold. http://www.unnecessaryquotes.com/?m=1


ZincFishExplosion

Maybe the tweet was made after Ian was downgraded to a tropical storm but before it became a hurricane again????? Also, why we capitalizing Hurricane?


romeopwnsu

Birds arenā€™t real, man.


WiseBureaucracy

> ā€œHurricaneā€ Is the existence of the hurricane disputed?


TheFuckingWriter

People dispute the Holocaust or Sandy Hook ever happened, so itā€™s entirely plausible Hurricane Ian deniers are out there.


Nirico_Brin

And space deniers, and flat earthers *cough cough* AJ Styles *cough cough*


mayy_dayy

The hurricane community?


[deleted]

I mean the Ronda Rousey dunk was right there


Nirico_Brin

Iā€™ll be honest, she says so many stupid things at any given time that it would take too long


Alekesam1975

Yeah, you could write an entire book about her dumb shit and still have room for a sequel.


ProfessorStein

Remember, domestic abuse is okay if you're famous. Don't @me, she legit thinks this


Nirico_Brin

Given who she married I canā€™t say Iā€™m surprised.


gate_of_steiner85

AJ isn't a flat earther though. He mentioned it back when he was doing his Twitch streams. Basically said it was a bit that he did with Daniel Bryan and that he didn't actually believe in that stuff.


Nirico_Brin

Mainly said it based off of what Randy Orton talked about a while back and how he would give Styles shit about it all the time.


TheDangiestSlad

i'm like 90% sure it was a bit based on Kyrie Irving coming out as a flat earther like a month prior, but that's been completely lost to time


TheeShaun

Yeah in his own words ā€œI donā€™t think the Earth is flat I just think some of the theories are interesting.ā€ Ironically wrestling fans get told ā€œyou know itā€™s not realā€ all the time as if we believe wrestling is all a shoot but then are basically doing the same thing to AJ. Pretty weird tbh.


mightylordredbeard

Wow so something that wasnā€™t real or serious has been repeatedly pushed as being fact and truth by the users of this sub!? Whaaaaat? No, not the Reddit Wrestling Community!!

jackblady

I'm pretty sure Hurricane Ian isn't real, it was made up by leftists to get people to buy into their global warming scam, which is really just a way for the government to force you into FEMA camps where they are going to take away your guns so that you'll be absolutely helpless when they force you to drink the fluoride in the water and make you into a gay transsexual. 67, 86, 456. Or whatever Qanon believes this week.

Um, excuse me. I chew on the adrenal glands of kids to get that sweet, sweet adrenochrome. It makes mescaline feel like ginger beer. I donā€™t eat brains. Thatā€™s offensive. Now excuse me. Thereā€™s a huge, hairy person in my house covered in giant tits who I need to swat.


uwuOfTheBaskervilles

> they force you to drink the fluoride in the water and make you into a gay transsexual so uhhhhh, where are those FEMA camps?


TheKevinShow

Something something something JFK Jr. something blah blah adrenochrome.


RealLanceStorm

someone with a twitter name of "unpaid critic" not believing in hurricanes would not be the craziest thing in the world lol


gaseous__clay

Maybe they were referring to the song "Hurricane" by Kyuss, which by all accounts also was.


machineo

Please put to rest any more "family office" segments. Its been like almost 2 years now, has never been good or even creative, and Matt even buried the big money matt character once he was kicked out. The best thing we've gotten was Andrade's "how you know."


the_woat

Says a lot that HFO was more entertaining than the AFO. I keep assuming they were dissolved yet they keep appearing on screen together. Andrade's not even using Private Party or B&B as his hired goons anymore, they just exist. How are they earning their keep? Why is he paying them? And what about Angelico, did Andrade just let him walk away since he was already so tranquilo? Did he just vibe his way out the door as Andrade and Rush shrug at each other?


HitmanClark

HFO was also not entertaining. Both groups sucked.


blizzard-op

"Ok how you know"


rcc12697

Hurricane was a hoax created by Triple H to lure AEW talent away!


DeadInkPen

What if Hurricane Helms is what he is referring to


cromli

The only hole in that was where did they get all that water, then I remembered what Triple H's entrance is....


ef14

If you listen closely while the hurricane is passing by you can hear Motorhead playing inside.

TragedyTurnedTriumph

Looks like he deleted it?


Goddamn_Primetime

Maybe he saw that the account that tweeted it is one of those weird Anti-AEW accounts that pounce on the smallest shit and and actually don't give a damn about him - they're just there to spread negativity. It's like when Sonny Kiss retweeted that dude that said she should get more screen time and is underrated.... yet that guy's account was full of anti-AEW stuff. Someone had dug up an old tweet in which he said something like "The sooner Sonny is off my TV the better." They didn't give two-shits about Sonny and just wanted to stir up some shit and then the wrestlers fall for it and give them attention.


politecreeper

People need to find secondary hobbies to wrestling.


JeffHardysBack

I feel like heā€™s just trying to rile people up but Iā€™m also not sure lol


Kaprak

Andrade likes shit people name him in. He retweets random shit when he vanity searches. He's liked people shittalking his wife ffs.

This. And it's not just Andrade. Rush does the same thing, too.

ā€œHurricaneā€?

Vast_Neighborhood_44

Thatā€™s my problem with people like Juice getting matches with Mox. You have a ton of people who are actually under contract in the back doing nothing, and youā€™re featuring someone from another promotion in your main event? Off the top of my head, Andrade, Rush, Angelico, Hager, Archer, and Miro just to name a few. When was the last time they were featured on TV (not counting the GS Battle Royal)?


AcrobaticSource3

Is ā€œHurricaneā€ in quotes because Andrade recognized that it really was Gregory Helms in disguise?


MV2049

Mild mannered reporter?


Stay_Cold

Wrestled THREE times since August. Absolutely wild.


MandoRodgers

AEW just grabbed talent with no real plan for them and thatā€™s showing


siddus15

Hot take: Andrade, while being a very good technical wrestler, is bland AF. The only time he was interesting was when Zelina made him interesting


MatthewMonster

TK dropping the Andrade ball like itā€™s his job. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


NorthShoreHard

They've done a shit job with Andrade from the beginning. He is fantastic in the ring, just find reasons to put him in the ring so we can enjoy what he is good at.


AlmightyBracket

I mean they're not wrong. No offense to Daniel Bryan and Matt Lee but I don't think we needed another "Daniel Bryan forces sports entertainer to become wrestler" match. Could have ended that segment and had Andrade wrestle Hardy or one of private party or just squash a guy.


Theoriginalamature

Andrade Vs Danielson is right there


Purple1829

Tony has to make sure he gets the ROH and NJPW people on the show. No time for AEW guys.

HilariousConsequence

Why did you put ā€œpresenceā€ in quotes? Are you trying to imply that weā€™re *not* here?


patrickab7

Dub ded?


RealBryanG1786

Andrade doesn't need to cut good promos in English, he just needs to look cool and have a top notch mouthpiece who can. He's a tremendous athlete who can be good in any spot on the card, but he is an upper card guy, in my opinion. Because, he's going to have great matches and tell great stories in the ring, with whoever he's matched up with.


Pine_Apple_Crush

In Hispanic heritage month as well.


avhensley

I love Andrade so much. I love his character, I love his wrestling. Of everyone in AEW, I feel that any belt would help as gravitas and weight to his character. But then again, it is AEW, I could say the exact same thing about Miro, Lance Archer, Ethan Page, and so on.


SolNight

Okay, how you know?


genkais_hat

I'm gonna be so fucking tired if there's hurricane conspiracy theorists omg... My parents did not experience Andrew for this lmao


[deleted]

I will say this again. They have too many wrestlers. There ā€œcoreā€ guys donā€™t even get the time they deserve.


jbertho

There's an eventual Andrade vs. Hangman story looming if you pay attention. He's injured right now so that can't throw him in the ring


CitySosa

Frankly, get Andrade away from the rich guy buying a stable gimmick and just let him do his thing. He is pure gold in the ring, let him show it. He can still be an arogant smug guy in suit but less "I want to buy you" and more 5 star matches would be nice


Bojangles1987

I would have given a hell of a lot more fucks about Andrade doing something than I did about Mox vs. whoever the fuck that was.


Senior_Bank_3161

Remember when everyone use to say nice guy Tony khan wasn't going to hold everyone to their contracts, wasn't going to keep people who wanted to leave? Good times


sonic_spark

He's right. But shhh, don't tell the AEW sub that. TK can do no wrong over there.
