Ric Flair views his son in law as one of the best wrestlers on the planet.
Andrade El Idolo made his AEW return on the debut episode of AEW Collision this past weekend, battling the House Of Black’s Buddy Matthews in a brutal one on one contest. Andrade would eventually score the win, bridging into a Figure 8 to get the submission over the House Of The Black member. After the match, The House Of Black would lay out Andrade.
Speaking on To Be The Man, Flair commented on Andrade’s return, stating that he is one of the best in the business.
“What a match. Unbelievable. He stole it. I texted Tony. They stole it. I don’t know what direction he’s going in next, but man, it’s just gotta be positive for him. He reiterated the fact that he, it’s hard to say top five because there’s so many, but he is for sure in the top ten in terms of performers in our business, without a doubt. If I watch that match back, I say he’s in the top five. But man, they killed it. Buddy [Matthews] did a hell of a job as well. That whole new show, it had a whole new look. To me, it blows Dynamite away,”

We will have to wait and see what comes next for the Mexican star but for now he will be looking for backup against the AEW Trios Champions.
