I'm confused. You just said instead of being too niche, that they should try to cater to casual fans in order to maximize their audience. That's what WWE does.
How about AEW does a better job of explaining incoming wrestlers instead of assuming their entire audience knows every wrestler that comes through their door

Especially those Japan wrestlers.

The core of AEW's fanbase are the hardcore fans, so the majority have most likely already heard of those people anyways. If not, you can always use google to brush up and not need your hand held with multiple vignettes.
Maybe watching wresting outside of WWE could be an option for you. I'm just saying

Most of those Japanese wrestlers are in the 2nd biggest promotion globally. If you don't know them, that's a you problem. Same way folks saw attendance numbers for AEW in the US and were shocked at the numbers they doing in Wembley. The US isn't the only market for wrestling. Broaden your horizons my friends.
I don't give a damn about those Japan wrestlers but if you're bringing them in give me a reason why I should care about this unknown person just strolling down to the ring.

You want Michael Cole spoon feeding you and reminding you every 10 seconds of what’s going on?

Imagine having to Google who a character is on the show you're watching lol
If that's what it is then I guess so

If you want that level of hand holding, keep watching WWE.
It's not a lot to ask for a vignette to introduce a guy who they feel is a big deal

Asking to have the company introduce the people wrestling on their show and more importantly asking that you be given a reason to *care* about them is not nearly the big ask as you're making it out to be.

Y’all realize yall just proved that AEW is for fans of wrestling which has been shenco whole point…
If the two companies are doing business together then why do yall need your hands held thru a storyline?
A don’t like B
Now watch this highlight reel.
What more do you want?

They put all thought in this dude doing special announcements for stuff a simple tweet can do but it's asking too much to give the same for a debuting wrestler

But they are trying to grow their audience. Because it's a business. And their audience is shrinking.
To show us why we should care about a debuting wrestler I’ve never heard of. AEW has all this money. They’ve hired former WWE staff for production and they can’t produce a simple video package about a wrestler who’s making his/her AEW debut?
Let’s just let excalibur speak really fast like he always does to promote a match or a new wrestler instead of a simple video package. Damn shame

Why is it in any companies self interest to want me to watch another company to understand who a wrestler is?
What's the disconnect here? If I'm watching AEW programming then I expect AEW to explain to me why what I'm watching is important. I shouldn't have to Google it or watch a YouTube show, or watch a completely different promotion when I'm literally already watching the show.
