This interview isn't long enough. They seem like a bunch of cool dudes I would just love to see like a 45-minute window view with them. But I understand you're busy and it's SummerSlam and yeah. But still it would be fun
This was fantastic, Chris. Thank you. These guys are fantastic. This was my first time seeing them outside of their acts. Otis is funny and Chad is - Chad.
Watching Chad Gable light up when the WCW cruiserweight division comes up just shows his appreciation for wrestling history and his love for professional wrestling!
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
The Alpha Academy with Maxxine Dupri in the mix has been plain magic. I can tell Chad, Otis, and Maxxine are great people in real life. You’re awesome, Chris. I’m looking forward to Summerslam.
@@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.🏅🥇
Sincerely my faction right now. They are naturally all entertaining and seem to really like each other IRL, and that comes off. Natural chemistry wins every time
I know it's dumb of me to "fall for" the character, but it's great to see the actual articulate normal guy behind Otis's crazy onscreen character. These guys are great, and nice to hear that their current run was something they both asked for too.
Man I'll tell ya, in the past few months I went from, "Alpha Academy? Who are these goofballs?!?" to "Hell yeah, Alpha Academy! THANK YOUUUUUUU!!!". These guys are some of the top babyfaces in the company right now, Maxxine Dupri is the cherry on top; really been falling in love all of them lately.
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.
Love these 2 dorks, they're amazing You dont mess with Chad cos he can deadlift suplex 350+ guys, and destroy you in a shoot!!! He needs to dethrone a champ soon, he deserves so much for working his ass off consistently And Alpha Academy is organically over too, whats not to love
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 RUclips 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!
What about Tucker Knight? He could be brought back perhaps, become another member of the AA. Or maybe have Mansoor and Mace return as backup members of the AA who learn genuine wrestling skills.
Yeah but chad gable needs to be pushed hard. No shush nonsense or shorty g garbage. He needs a serious push. He’s a wrestling machine. Push him wwe for god sake
@@harrisonsilencieux7596 lol, clueless people again. He’s too good to be stuck in a stupid tag team, and too good to lose as often as he does. He’s a single star, not a tag team guy. He’s the second kurt angle and they have already wasted years of his career with dumb gimmicks. he can be serious and comedy like angle was but right now he’s in need of a serious push.
@@paulwoodford1984 yeah you’re just delusional he’s not that guy. You really think he should be like Angle is crazy. There’s only one and it should stay that way. He should just stay in a tag team people like you are going to gas him up anyways just like knight.
O’Tis as Maxine likes to call him, (which makes me laugh every time) is the literal definition of a Brick $hit house. The agility he has with that mass is just insane. He’s a honeybadger! Alpha Academy has become my favourite faction by far! Glad Chad is getting pushed a bit, he should lean into that Angry Dad stuff a bit more yet! Thank you!!!!!!
Its so crazy how much gable resembles kurt angle, his voice/maneurisms, his facial features, as well as his gear and amateur wrestling background its so crazy
While I kinda have a soft spot for Otis even on screen, I kinda wish that his on screen character was just his real life personality of him being both a boulder of a human being and yet articulate and chill as fuck.
Funny. Even to this day amateur wrestlers shite on pro wrestling. Great team. Really wish they would post their matches for us in Hulu. I get.clips on IG but see nothing of them on Hulu.
Got back into wrestling and I thought these guys were just bleh. I saw Gable’s video with sheamus working out and holy hell I have never seen better form. Have loved watching these two ever since.
Its about time to push Gable, the dude is not only underrated wrestle with Kurt remblance but also underrated to the crowd, one right push and look how will get over easy
Took them along time as a tag team to finally get really over and now they are probably the best tag team and chad gable is definitely finally really over as well
SHOOOOOOSH!
Leave a like for Alpha Academy!
Aaaaaaaaaaa THANK YOU
Love It ChrisVanVliet Bro.
Thank youuuuu Chad gable and Otis and can't forget Maxine
This interview isn't long enough. They seem like a bunch of cool dudes I would just love to see like a 45-minute window view with them. But I understand you're busy and it's SummerSlam and yeah. But still it would be fun
I feel like it's gotta be almost impossible to be around Otis and not smile.
Right?!
@@deathmauler181 first day Heavy Machinery debuted in NXT first thing i said was, "OMG, he's so fkn adorable!!!! 😄"
Unless you are next to him on that airplane! 😂 As a fellow big man I definitely sympathize.
Chris Farley
Otis is like the WWE version of Jack Black
If you close your eyes you hear jack
@@connerstewartflockofmuffin4601oh my god 👀
Put LA knight & Otis in a room to talk, close your eyes
And you’ve got Jack Black & Rock reuniting 🤣
You just created a fantasy celebrity match that I need in my life.
So Kung Fu Panda?
I love these guys!! Thank you for gettin' them on a mic CVV!
Need a full interview with these guys asap.
I love your interviews.
Otis = Legend. I was so bummed when they squashed his push. Gable is the real deal, I can watch him all day.
These two are the best
Wooow this is amazing
Otis' shirt is to die for! I wish I had that shirt during my Hawaiian shirt days many moons ago.
This was fantastic, Chris. Thank you. These guys are fantastic. This was my first time seeing them outside of their acts. Otis is funny and Chad is - Chad.
Please have a sit down with either of them or both please
Otis with the fye shirt
Seems they've been doing a face turn for a while now, and I have to say...it suits them a lot more.
I legit see them as Tag team champs again and i would even say Chad as a IC champion
Chad Gable is so underrated
I want otis vs bronson reed match battle of the overweights
Minnesota boyz.
What a strange world we live in were Greco Roman wrestling is unknown and bjj is almost common knowledge
Gotta give more love to Otis man, he’s more than just his size lol
Watching Chad Gable light up when the WCW cruiserweight division comes up just shows his appreciation for wrestling history and his love for professional wrestling!

Well said! Such genuine fun people! Chad should have retired Kurt!
@@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.🏅🥇

Otis is such a goofball you just wanna get a big hug from. Chad is class personified. Such a great conversation from you Chris!
I know it's dumb of me to "fall for" the character, but it's great to see the actual articulate normal guy behind Otis's crazy onscreen character. These guys are great, and nice to hear that their current run was something they both asked for too.
Let's you know when he is mugging for the camera, he knows exactly what he is doing.
Alpha Academy is grown on me. I enjoy watching them on Raw.
I’m just glad they’ve had a bit of a face turn. As heels they were just a jobber team but as a face faction they really do get to shine and deserve it
The work they've been doing with Maxxine has been fantastic
"a chode, a human chode" lmfao

Good to see Kurt Angle and Bam Bams kids getting along
Impossible not to smile when you see Otis.
I love what they are doing now. They should continue to push them.
Everyone and I mean everyone knows that Chad was supposed to be Kurt’s son he is literally Kurt 😂
Love these 2 dorks, they're amazing
You dont mess with Chad cos he can deadlift suplex 350+ guys, and destroy you in a shoot!!!
He needs to dethrone a champ soon, he deserves so much for working his ass off consistently

I really wish that Otis would've cashed in his money in the bank back then
Otis could play big van Vader in about movie epic
Yeah but chad gable needs to be pushed hard. No shush nonsense or shorty g garbage. He needs a serious push. He’s a wrestling machine. Push him wwe for god sake
You hate characters then. Wrestling is more than just "being serious"
Are you blind? He’s being pushed right now. His character is great he doesn’t need to be more serious that would make him boring.
@@harrisonsilencieux7596 lol, clueless people again. He’s too good to be stuck in a stupid tag team, and too good to lose as often as he does. He’s a single star, not a tag team guy.

@@Ranuyasha Wrestling is too hokey at the moment. we need pro wrestling. Not hokey storylines or flippy stuntmen who don’t sell any moves.
@@paulwoodford1984 yeah you’re just delusional he’s not that guy. You really think he should be like Angle is crazy. There’s only one and it should stay that way. He should just stay in a tag team people like you are going to gas him up anyways just like knight.
Otis literally is a giant Jack Black. Someone needs to send JB this clip, he loves shit like this
Fun interview. Good vibes.
I honestly think Chad should be the next IC champion.
Otis’ energy is undefeated
Otis’s shirt is freakin beast I love it lol
Otis reminds me of a real life Bob from Tekken
O’Tis as Maxine likes to call him, (which makes me laugh every time) is the literal definition of a Brick $hit house. The agility he has with that mass is just insane. He’s a honeybadger! Alpha Academy has become my favourite faction by far! Glad Chad is getting pushed a bit, he should lean into that Angry Dad stuff a bit more yet! Thank you!!!!!!
I love Otus so much he is the freaking best and with Chad Gablet hey are the best thing going so funny and good
Otis is such a Wisconsin white boy. Chris Farley cloth, loves to drink and have fun. Love it
Ok, that shirt Otis is wearing is just awesome.
2:29 bro protect this man at all costs😂
I love me some Alpha Academy best tag team in the WWE currently!
SHOOSHHHHH!!
Love Otis’ shirt.🤘
Love Otis shirt
Its so crazy how much gable resembles kurt angle, his voice/maneurisms, his facial features, as well as his gear and amateur wrestling background its so crazy
Otis and Gable have SO much more charisma than their push. Frankly it's astounding how underutilized they are.
Par for the course in WWE. Elias is another example.
Otis has that cool uncle energy, his normal speech pattern is awesome actually, his normal speech pattern is better than his gimmick speech pattern.
Otis's outfit is awesome n gable looks cool too
Chad needs a real push already.. he had such an amazing match vs Gunther too.. just push him!
These boys are so damned BASED
Otis is the G.O.A.T.T.=Greatest of All Tree-Trunk...simply unBELLYevable.
Definitely deserve to be pushed
Alpha Acadamy and Maxxine Dupri are the best part of Raw right now
Two charismatic wrestlers hope the best for them in their careers
I wish Otis didn't have to play a character and instead just be himself. That man is so fucking awesome!
While I kinda have a soft spot for Otis even on screen, I kinda wish that his on screen character was just his real life personality of him being both a boulder of a human being and yet articulate and chill as fuck.
Lmfao you lowkey roasted tf outta Otis calling him a human bowling ball 😂😂
Chad deserves the world..!!!! The dude is fucking awesome
Chris, you missed the chance to get Gable to Shooosh! You and get a Thank Yoooou!
GRECO-ROMAN WRESTLING! THE BEST STYLE OF OLYMPIC WRESTLING!
Otis reminds me of jack black i love otis 😁😁😁😅😅😅
Excellent tag team. I really want to see Gable get some major wins. Both of these guys are great.
Otis shirt!!!✌️✌️
Legit the most entertaining part of the roster right now!!
Thank Youuuuu alpha academy
Big fan of these 2 and
Alpha academy
Where can we get otis' shirt😂
✌🏻thank youuuu
Human chode 😂😂😂
Awesome
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu
I will cry tears of joy the day wwe finally lets chad gable win the IC or US title 🥹😔
I love this , I love them , I was so upset when they put them together, Otis is one of my Favorites and I hated Gable but now I love him too 😊
I love these guys.
Funny. Even to this day amateur wrestlers shite on pro wrestling.
Great team.
Really wish they would post their matches for us in Hulu. I get.clips on IG but see nothing of them on Hulu.
Samwhich
Well that explains the shorty g gimmick.. Chad was a WCW kid and Vince holds grudges 😂
Alpha Academy is the reason I’m a fan of Maxxine. She’s goofy and lovable and it’s because of these guys. Push Gable please he deserves it
I don't know why but i see Chad gable being future world champion, even though how much shit they through at him he still comes at top somehow.
Got back into wrestling and I thought these guys were just bleh. I saw Gable’s video with sheamus working out and holy hell I have never seen better form. Have loved watching these two ever since.
I dont care for modern day wrestling. But big guy won me over with shirt.. but he stole my heart with "leatherface then jason 2." My type guy
These guys are real life bffs??? YES THATS AWESOME
Amazing interview Chris! A-thank yoooooooou!! ✌️✌️
Yea
0:20😂😂
I Love Otis!!! He's such a SWEETHEART!🥰🥰🥰
Its about time to push Gable, the dude is not only underrated wrestle with Kurt remblance but also underrated to the crowd, one right push and look how will get over easy
TELL ME Otis wouldn't be great to hang out with, he'd be hilarious 😅
Chad is very quiet in this setting 😂
Took them along time as a tag team to finally get really over and now they are probably the best tag team and chad gable is definitely finally really over as well
Chris Thanks for the interview with Alpha Academy & It was a honor to meet at Summerslam🎉
