Andrade Fires Back at Nathan Frazer Move Accusation

Andrade El Idolo has addressed allegations that he copied a wrestling move from Nathan Frazer. After performing a reverse Spanish Fly on Adam Page at AEW Grand Slam Australia on February 16, Andrade tweeted a jab directed at Logan Paul, calling it a “New move for Logan Paul!” However, a fan quickly accused him of stealing the springboard reverse Spanish Fly from WWE’s Nathan Frazer.

Defending His Claim and Origins of the Move

Instead of ignoring the accusation, Andrade responded firmly, neither denying his use of the move nor admitting to copying Frazer. He emphasized that he and Rey Fenix performed the maneuver first within AEW. In his words,

“Shut your mouth! @ReyFenixMx and I did it first! 🤣P But I didn’t invent it!”

This statement highlights two key points: Andrade believes he and Rey Fenix introduced the move earlier in AEW, and he does not claim to have created the move originally, just that he did not adopt it from current users like Frazer.

The Current Landscape of Move Sharing in Wrestling

The wrestling community often sees performers sharing and adapting high-risk maneuvers, with athletes drawing inspiration from various promotions. As a result, accusations of move theft are common, but public disputes quickly lead fans and insiders to examine the history of these spots. Andrade’s response brings attention to the blurred lines between originality and adaptation in wrestling’s competitive environment.

Community Reaction and Broader Implications

This incident underscores ongoing tensions about move ownership and creativity in wrestling. With figures like Andrade El Idolo, Nathan Frazer, Rey Fenix, and others involved across multiple companies such as AEW and WWE, the debate reflects wider challenges in defining innovation within the sport. Industry observers like Felix Upton of Ringside News continue to track these developments, highlighting how commonly wrestlers influence each other.
