Not to say Fenix isn't pretty great, but Angelico REALLY stood out for me. Never seen a style quite like his; it was really disappointing that he got a jobber entrance and lost so cleanly. I hope he gets an actual push sometime - I want to see how his style meshes with other people in decent length matches.
Kudos to commentary too for putting over his history with Fenix and adding some sizzle to a match where the outcome was never in doubt (though I question why they made it never in doubt to begin with).

It's unforgivable to have Angelico wrestle but deprive us of his entrance. Shave a minute somewhere else. WE NEED THIS.

I've always been a fan of Jack Evans but Angelico may need a real singles run at some point. Pair him with a manager that fits and see where he goes.

Since you only got into AEW more recently, I highly recommend some standalone Angelico matches, he's had really good ones against the likes of Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy, and then The Young Bucks and FTR on Dynamite with Jack Evans
He's also had several great AEW DARK Matches vs the likes of Griff Garrison, Shawn Dean, Kazarian and a real fun four way with Kazarian, Garrison, and Darius Martin
He's a clearly very trusted worker within the company even if he currently isn't getting a huge push. His style is so unique and he pairs in a real fun way with Evans. I really hope Hybrid 2 join Hardy Empire officially to give them more screentime.

The Hybrid Two have been buried so deep I'm surprised they can still crawl out for the occasional match. I feel very bad for them. Other than their teased feud (?) with Jay & Silent Bob they have been non-entities since signing with AEW. Their most recent highlight was being a punching bag for the over-the-hill blackholes of charisma SCU on Dark.

Actually, most recently, they've been getting use for things like getting paid by Matt to cost 10 his shot in the ladder match. Have you not been watching much recently?

Angelico is by far the most underrated wrestler in AEW

loved Angelico since his Lucha Underground days. While he's a great heel, he plays babyface really well, too.

I was already a fan of his when he was a kicky-flippy babyface in Lucha Underground (it helped that he had two of the most memorable stunts ever on there) and even though I knew that he was a heel in Mexico I assumed that what I had seen of him was his most natural role to play. I was totally wrong. This guy is literally just a millenial Jeff Jarrett. Dubstep instead of country, breakdancing instead of the Fargo strut, whacky lucha instead of whacky southern wrasslin, but the same basic blueprint for a great heel wrestler underneath.

Now I actually want to see Angelico do the Fargo/Jarrett strut, but somehow while also doing his lean-back-shoulder-wiggle dance.

That counter where he caught Fenix's arm with his leg?

This doesn't make up for their burial they still lose every major match and have no storyline.

I enjoyed his singles run a while back. They should be part of Hardy's war against the Dark Order. Taz and Excaliber did a great job of building him up on Dark.

We've all on here seen hundreds of wrestlers in our time watching, but I have literally never seen someone who works like Angelico. They really should be making more of that.

Yeah, chalk me up as someone who’s been a fan of his since Lucha Underground. He just reads like a star. He’s definitely upped his game in AEW as a heel. But to echo what others mentioned, he’d be a dynamite face down the road too. And honestly, I f***ing love his entrance dancing. It’s between him and Sasha in WWE as to who has my favorite entrance shimmy.

I don't think I've ever heard him say a word.
But in a fed full of people adept at flippy shit, dude is still insanely good at flippy shit.
He absolutely deserves a place in AEW. If absolutely nothing else dude could be the JTTS of the JTTS, but if he can talk at all I think there's considerable potential beyond that.

I’ve been a big Angelico fan since Lucha Underground and he’s always been very underrated. Please do more with him AEW.
