"This is what happens when your roster is overcrowded".

Yes, one could repeat a lot of things said about most workers on this list and be done with it. That's a sad commentary on how Tony Khan's league has handled some of the best free agents and men/women Vince McMahon just didn't know how to book.

Andrade El Idolo has been #AllElite since 4 June 2021, and yet peeps tuning into Dynamite, Rampage and more still don't really know much about him beyond 'he used to be in WWE, is good in-ring and looks awesome in a suit'. El Idolo has bounced from one half-baked story to the next without rhyme or reason.

At the time, this fan hoped his stunning match vs. PAC on the 10 September Rampage would show Khan what he had to work with. It didn't though. Instead, Andrade just returned to doing nothing of note. One year on, he's still in exactly the same position.
