10 Wrestlers Who MUST Be Signed For All Elite Wrestling
6. A-Kid
Not to toot the horn of a perpetual comments section public enemy, but the vast majority of the wrestling world hadn't heard of A-Kid until Dave Meltzer raved about his recent Madrid showdown with Zack Sabre Jr.
The Wrestling Observer scribe called it one of the best matches of the year, sending fans flocking to La Triple W's (White Wolf Wrestling) free YouTube upload of the match from August this year. Thousands have since bore witness to a grizzled commentary-free fight that exploits 'ZSJ's wiry submission game without sacrificing the skill and striking of his lesser-known opposition. Kid and Sabre slapped and smacked and stretched the sh*t out of each other for nearly 25 minutes in something more akin to a underground mixed martial arts money fight than a worked wrestling match.
It's this buzz the Being The Elite gang need to persistently be on top of. WWE never need to be ahead of the curve - Vince McMahon has occasionally admitting to preferring to be slightly behind it - but with the help of another wrestler on this list, the crew's job will be to nail down zeitgeist talents as often as they can. Soon enough, A-Kid will be A Man in such demand.
