WON: Andrade is pretty much universally loved backstage

[Deleted]

Per WON:

"Andrade has gotten high marks from everyone of late. He’s gotten great reviews from the live event producers and the talent is also as a general rule really positive regarding his ability. He’s pretty much become universally loved. Vince wants to push him but does feel his English is going to hold him back. Through talent relations, they’ve given him an English tutor to speed him up in that regard. He’s been speaking more English in his promos of late because they want him to get more practice at it, rather than just rely on Vega to do it for him."

Damn, Mr. Charlotte Flair is killing the game and blowing dat back out. #Godstatus

Haha this has definitely been leaked out as damage control after the "I'll push you when you learn English" story yesterday.

I want Zelina to climb the ladder and hand it to Andrade.

Far cry from the learn English and get back to me report about a week ago

[Rican]

Good, he's awesome and should be a major star. Who cares if his english isn't perfect, having a manager is fine and not everyone needs to be doing 10-15 minute monologues every week. Hell, the less the better.

AND GIVE HIM THE REST OF HIS NAME BACK.

No, it's the exact same thing.

The report the other day had Vince saying "learn English and get back with me." This one says Vince wants to push him but feels his English is holding him back so he's got a tutor which is something that's been reported about as well. Both cases have Vince feeling his English is an issue with him getting a push.

Charlotte is spreading,first Lacey Evan now this? WWE is gonna end being an Army of Charlotte with Vince leading then,mark my words

If he is a top guy though I would imagine they would want him doing media interviews and such.

Sure, but most of those media outlets have interpreters and spanish speaking reporters, plus there are spanish speaking media outlets with big reaches he could make the rounds with that other talents can't.

He should still be proficient in English tho 

Being Bilingual is a plus for interviews and other things but just in general communication wise so nothing ever gets lost in translation he should be learning English which he has been doing

This is why I loved how LU just had them giving promos in the wrestlers best language. Even when I didn't know what someone said they were still able to get across the intent by body language and tone of voice. Looks like AEW is doing the same with the Lucha Bros

I mean....obviously. Nowhere in that did I say he shouldn't work on his english. I'm just saying it shouldn't be the difference maker in whether he gets a big push or not.

He's an amazing wrestler, probably my other favorite guy (Black being the other) to watch in the ring. If he gets the English down, there's no reason not to give him a huge push.

[Pushed to the Moon]

I like him. He's a great wrestler, handsome bastard and Zelina is cool too. I hope he doesn't ditch her if and when his English gets better.

Yes and No 

I think it puts a ceiling on him because he can't do the media you want your World Champ doing. He can be a big time guy but it wouldn't be consistent imo unless he becomes proficient in English 

Now, if we are not talking about him winning the main event at Mania and going to ESPN and Good Morning America to do interviews than sure it won't harm him much but being able to do media is a big plus

And the sad thing is, I can still believe Vince would have said that if Andrade's English was perfect but with a strong Mexican accent. But the guy is money, and anyone should be able to see it. He and Zelina are a great team, and seem like a pairing that you could build a really cool faction around, as you push him to the top.

[TGM]

He's universally loved by me.

It's not like the coolest MFers in NJPW didn't take pretty much all of their cues from him or anything...

speaking through an interpreter won't give the general audience the same connection. it's not an unreasonable ask for the guy to learn English
