Booker T Says Andrade Made Rey Mysterio Look 20 Years Younger During Feud

Former WWE Superstar Andrade El Idolo had a solid run in NXT where he even won the NXT Championship, but his main roster run in comparison left much to be desired. He was finally granted his WWE release after WWE Fastlane back on March 21st.

However, Andrade did have some highlights during his main roster run and that included his feud with Rey Mysterio on Friday Night Smackdown back in 2018 and 2019. The two had a series of excellent in-ring matches that fans certainly couldn’t get enough of.

While speaking on his Hall Of Fame podcast, WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T talked about Andrade signing with AEW, stating that it is a big pick for the company. He then added that Andrade made Rey Mysterio look 20 years younger during their feud on Friday Night Smackdown.

“It definitely is a big pick-up for AEW going forward, having a guy like him on their roster. I’ve said it many, many times, this guy is extraordinary as far as work (in the ring), the feud, the series of matches that he had with Rey Mysterio. I tell you, he made Rey Mysterio look 20 years younger, and I’m not trying to age Rey Mysterio or anything like that. It showed me how good of a worker this guy really, truly is, from a perspective that he gets it. He knows exactly what it means to go out there and get someone over and get himself over.”

With Andrade being one of the most talented pro wrestlers in the world currently, he can have excellent matches with almost anyone in AEW. We will have to see how he will be booked by the company.
