Honestly, I've never been all that into Pepper Parks and I do think that Allie is a better babyface than a heel, but I'm really, really impressed by how they've been booking Andy Williams as this old-school style bruiser, especially the way he just launches people like Darby Allin around. It's also refreshing that his moveset is very old school, fitting his look of the thick mustache and the retro monocle.
I think that I might've liked it more if they just had Williams on his own and just murdering fools; or he gets recruited by Tully Blanchard and Shawn Spears for a bit of extra brute force.
Edit: Added his AEW name, just in case anyone wants to talk about the wrestler, but I think the Andy Williams song references are miles better than whatever I intended this thread to be. LMAO.

It's beginning to look a lot like MURDER.

Him and Darby should have a burial plot bidding war.

Non-joke answer. I like him. He looks like a side of beef decided to wrestle, and he does a fallaway slam as one of his moves, so I am predisposed to liking him, anyway.

Andy Williams is what would have happened if Teddy Roosevelt got really into wrestling instead of hunting.

I am obsessed with his little bouncy legs stretching exercise he does when he enters the ring.

Andy Williams is what would have happened if Teddy Roosevelt got really into wrestling instead of hunting. Teddy Roosevelt actually was very into wrestling. He would invite collegiate wrestling champions to the White House and have full on grappling matches with them. He always asked that they go 100% and not hold back. One of the wrestlers actually broke Teddy’s arm during a match, to which our president replied “Well, you broke the old flipper!” and laughed about it.

He also invited boxers to spar with him in the White House. A boxer hit Roosevelt in the face and permanently blinded him in the right eye. Roosevelt promptly retired from boxing and took up judo.

They're clearly building him as the focus of the team. Dude looked amazing in both Cody matches and was booked as the threat they needed to eliminate to stand a chance. He took so much and just kept going or literally applying a submission as Cody couldn't get him off Darby. It took Darby Coffin Dropping him on the apron to get Blade aline and Cody to take advantage with more singles experience. It was a really great way to book the match
Butcher has a ton of star power outside of this team and I think AEW knows that, they need more legit hosses, and he's one of them.
