And he’s being wasted in a dumb tag team, with a absolutely dumb shush gimmick. Just as bad as shorty g. He’s a serious wrestler for god sake. the new kurt angle. and they are wasting his talent. He’s a joke still. he needs to speak up and tell them his worth or leave the company

@@vajidalishah3595 Thank you my friend! Alpha Academy are my favorite stable in pro wrestling. I hope they win all of the gold again. Chad and Otis were tag team champs before, jt Maxxine becoming women’s champion would be epic and THAT is A.A. will have all of the gold.🏅🥇

Around a year or two I never really understood the hype around these two. Especially because I’m a huge Randy Orton fan and they were their main rivals in the tag division. But the more I watch them the more I like them. Otis is hilarious and seems like a super cool guy.

Otis, idk if you will see this, but you were the reason I got back into watching wrestling. I saw your clips with Mandy on KZfaq around the pandemic time and thought they were so funny and charming. I started paying attention again which led to me attending summerslam too with my best friend! Alpha Academy for life! Ohhhh Yeahhhhh!
