The problem comes from how Japanese pronounce the "u" in names. You never fully get the impression they are pronouncing the letter. It happens in names like Daisuke or Sasuke as well.

I get what y'all are saying but at the end of the day it's not EWR/TEW you gotta give these dudes something that they want to do and it's not like it doesn't fit into the context of the main story Christian said he had to work his way up from the bottom they found a creative way to do it while showcasing up and coming talent.
As for okada statement he is right they about to lose a lot of talent at once their young talent gonna have to be ready to run with the ball.

How would people know they were getting to see those wrestlers? They were confirmed/booked three days before the show and there was no indication they were going to appear before that. With AEW you have no fukking clue what you are going to get until the last minute, and by that time there's no star in AEW's roster that can move tickets in 3 days (which is why what happened with Místico was so fukking impressive). You add to that the fact that they spent 18 months educating their fanbase that tickets are too fukking expensive and they become cheap or free at the last minute and you have a losing formula.
One thing WWE has going for them is that as a fan, you 100% know that unless there's an injury, you are going to see the same stars every show (TV, PLE or "live events") plus is has the whole "brand sells by itself" thing that AEW has never been able to establish either.

And WWE has their wrestlers post on social media weeks in advance which shows they are going to be appearing at.
So like if you’re a big Cody Rhodes fan and don’t want to buy a ticket to the Raw coming up in your hometown unless Cody is going to be appearing, you can just go look at his Twitter and see if he’s scheduled to be there or not.
In AEW? You’re guess is as good as mine if any specific wrestler is going to be on Dynamite/Rampage or Collision next week.
It’s something they can easily do if the they would just plan shows out ahead of time instead of doing it on a week to week basis. And theoretically it should be easier to do this now since we’re six weeks out from Revolution and the majority of the card is blatantly obvious now and there are more stories being told than there was for a good bit of last year.
Having a hard split roster would help some too. Like if you knew Danielson was only going to be on Collision you could feel a bit more comfortable buying a Collision ticket to see him. But that will only go so far when the rosters are so big and TK likes to spread the tv time out so much instead of focusing on a subset of the roster.
That’s one reason why I think TV taping ticket sales were seeing an uptick late last year. With the C2, you knew this group of six wrestlers was going to be on Dynamite every week for five weeks and this other group of six was going to be on Collision every week for five weeks.
But now we’re back to maybe knowing one or two matches if that a week in advance. If I’m someone that bases my ticket purchases on who is going to be appearing, I’m not buying a ticket until I know who is going to be there.

I mean Edge had been doing the "open challenge" for the 2 weeks prior so it's reasonable to think he'd be on the card, Daniel Bryan has also been a Collision regular. I'll give you Mox though, I would never buy a Collision ticket thinking he's gonna be there (i'd never buy a Collision ticket period, but thats another story).
The fact there's no star on AEW's roster that can be added to a show and get a "Oh well now I gotta get me a ticket" reaction speaks to how they don't book anybody as a special attraction, everybody just joins the roster and hits the ground running. Edge was never that guy in WWE, so I'm not saying it needed to be him alone, but keeping at least 2 or 3 guys in your back pocket elevated above the rest of the roster that get saved for more sporadic appearances could accomplish that. Problem is guys like Bryan and Edge see AEW as a passion project and Tony Khan doesn't have the stones to say no.
I slightly disagree with your bolded statement because it's been established that AEW can sell PPVs on the brand name alone without needing wrestlers or a card announced. They've built up enough credit with their die-hard fanbase, the ones that will fly in from out of town for a PPV, that they can sell tickets reliably off brand reputation. TV tapings are the opposite though, the AEW brand name means nothing to the average Joe so only the diehards in town tend to buy tickets and thats how you get these 3000 out of 10K capacity shows on the regular.

With the WWE's track record with non white stars im actually shocked yall think he would be a bigger star and etc on WWE unless they do an all japan type league. All of the Japanese starts are stuck going no where, and at least on TNA or AEW you would see someone like Toziwa in a dynamite or impact zone at least once a month.

if HHH was in charge of WWE creative when they signed Nakamura, he would've been a world champ at some point. Not like face of the company status but he would've had a main event run. He's too broken down now to give top notch main events, plus as much as they gave him some aura back with the subtitled promo videos, it's pretty much too little too late to make him a major star with other guys higher on the totem pole.
