Steve Austin Gives Major Praise To Andrade: “The Kid’s A Hell Of A Damn Worker”

WWE Hall Of Famer, Steve Austin recently spoke with Sports Illustrated and he had major praise for former NXT Champion, Andrade.

While Austin admitted that the people who are on top of WWE right now are the right people, he believes Andrade is going to be a big player moving forward.

“Right now, the people that are on top are the people that should be on top,” Austin told Sports Illustrated. “But I called this two years ago watching his match when he did the favors for somebody that night, and I said, ‘Man, this Andrade kid is going to be a player one of these days.’ I think he’s proving that. The people that have tremendous success either have a gimmick that is so close to them that it’s basically them turned up or it’s so far away from them that it cannot be missed. It’s all about how you resonate with the people. Wrestling is a relationship, whether you’re a heel or a babyface, you’re establishing yourself as a brand. How do you make them feel? They’re living vicariously through your storylines. They feel strength, vulnerability, or power. If it works, you’re doing something that resonates with people in regards to entertainment and wanting to invest in a person.”

He went on to continue praising Andrade, stating:

“He still has a ways to go, but it’s just tweaking that character. The kid’s a hell of a damn worker.”
