So TK being TK we have a super hyped signing coming up on Saturday. We know it’s not Kota since he just signed. I was originally thinking it’s gotta be Osprey but with Rousey getting attacked with the ROH title… I’m starting to think it’s her. What do you guys think?
Osprey? Mercedes? Rhonda? Someone else?
All signs are pointing to Ospreay but just for fun I’m going to go with someone completely different: Kenny King. He doesn’t quite fit the bill of someone “AEW fans respect” but it’s TK and he assumes we all know every wrestler under the sun.
Let me add one more: Giulia from Stardom. She doesn’t fit any of Tony’s hints but damnit is she a star in the making.
Here’s my thing and again I HOPE it’s Osprey.
He isn’t going to move the needle, he’s known to the IWC but not the mainstream, same with Jiulia. I strongly believe AEW could absorb NJPW and there would barely be an uptick in viewers.
If Tony expects this to help move the needle as it were it needs to be a name with mainstream appeal and to my knowledge the best options there are Sasha/Rhonda, maybe Mickie James?
You’re absolutely right. And just to add to that–at this point, outside of Cena or the Rock, I don’t know if there’s anyone who could move the needle for AEW. If Edge couldn’t do it than the list of names who could is incredibly small.
