Andrade El Idolo isn’t backing down — and now he’s defending himself after getting accused of stealing moves from Nathan Frazer.
After Andrade took a shot at Logan Paul on February 16 by tweeting “New move for Logan Paul!” following his reverse Spanish Fly on Adam Page at AEW Grand Slam Australia, the conversation flipped on him hours later.
A fan took to Twitter and accused Andrade of stealing the springboard reverse Spanish Fly from WWE’s Nathan Frazer, saying, “Like you stole it from Nathan Frazer?” Instead of ignoring it, Andrade fired back immediately. He didn’t deny that he uses the move — but he made it clear he believes he and Rey Fenix were doing it first in AEW.
“Shut your mouth! @ReyFenixMx and I did it first! 🤣P But I didn't invent it!”
With that response, Andrade made two things clear. First, he believes he and Rey Fenix performed the move in AEW years before Frazer. Second, he admitted he wasn’t claiming to have created it — just that he didn’t copy it from anyone currently using it.
In today’s wrestling scene, plenty of wrestlers use similar high-risk spots, especially with so many athletes drawing inspiration from each other across companies. But when you publicly accuse someone else of stealing — fans are going to check receipts.
Do you think Andrade had a point, or is this just the reality of shared moves in today’s wrestling scene? Sound off in the comments.
