I mean don't even have to look at just Andrade, just look at WWE's track record with Bullet Club guys and you can see they should stay far away

God a WWE version of Los Igobernables would have been terrible

I’m gonna throw out a bold prediction. And I’m never right so don’t worry about it.

- Keith Lee is unhappy in WWE

- The luchadores and Hispanic wrestlers in WWE want out.

Andrade news today is hot and it’s a catalyst for some news we will see more of.

Also, WWE is supposedly going on a rampage to hire more international talent and it’s probably due to the success of the joshis recently. That ain’t prediction though.

February 19, 2020: Kona Reeves has his last recorded match, losing to Keith Lee in 13 seconds on one of the last NXT shows to film at Full Sail.

I genuinely didn't realise he was still employed by the WWE.

All I can remember about him is in one of his matches, he just randomly started screaming his "I'm the finest!" catch phrase, and his vignettes making me feel vaguely uneasy.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
There's enough unhappy workers in the WWE to create an entire new wrestling promotion out of. That's what happens when you sign people on 5 year deals to not work for the competition, and then sit them in catering or embarrass them because you never had plans on using them to begin with.

And what a promotion it would be. Kairi Sane, Keith Lee, La Sombra, Gran Metallik, Aliestar Black, and Chad Gable just to start with.

As someone who is a Charlotte fan but still accepts that she is handed opportunities she doesn’t often earn I find it shocking Andrade has been used so poorly, it makes me wonder if Charlotte doesn’t really have much say. I wish they’d both leave because while I know how good Andrade is it’d be cool to see Charlotte against Rosa or having a big time heel run in Japan.

Charlotte probably doesn't want to rock the boat. WWE pushes her like she's the second coming. She's a good wrestler, but nobody is gonna give her the same push that WWE does for seemingly no reason whatsoever except that she's Charlotte Flair. Like yeah she'd be used in AEW, but they're not gonna have her constantly fight for the title and hand her opportunity after opportunity over and over again to the detriment of other women. She's got a good gig as their most favored female performer on the roster, even ahead of people who have proven to be over more and have more talent like Sasha and Becky.

But I hope everyone who's unhappy can get out and go somewhere where they can do cool poo poo. You'd think eventually the shareholders or something would call out Vince for letting these people go and hurting their own company and force some changes to be made, but not holding my breath for that. Seems like so long as Vince is in charge, WWE is gonna continue to be mostly the same people pushed and mostly not good programming.

As long as WWE keeps turning in a handsome profit in spite of a terrible product and a toxic work environment, Vince isn't going anywhere and nothing will change.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
It is wild how quickly Andrade went from near the top of the card to catering. Don't be liked by someone who falls out of favor I guess.
