10 Wrestlers AEW Tried (And Failed) To Get Over

10. Andrade El Idolo

Bursting onto the scene with an almighty whimper back in June 2021, a star fresh from a wholly demoralising stint within the Sports Entertainment sphere was unveiled as the most recent All Elite signing by serial crowd-popper Vickie Guerrero.

While there might've actually been a world where this partnership could've bore fruit, given the right care and attention, neither of those luxuries were afforded to the Mexican duo from the off, leading to an equally ill-received alliance with her nephew Chavo before long.

A month later, Chavo was also out, and yet another manager was soon called in by the name of Jose the Assistant, but this constant chopping and changing was at least distracting attention away from a bit of a lacklustre early run of All Elite in-ring performances. Outside of admittedly stellar efforts with PAC, thrown together multi-men bouts and a particularly weak debut against Matt Sydal butchered just about all the buzz that once surrounded Andrade.

Even after putting burning Cody Rhodes and acting as the head of the now-Andrade Family Office, the formidable talent seems more occupied with buying half the roster than competing against it, further establishing him as an afterthought in this rather bloated landscape.
