There's a genuine concern that the TV audience may have no idea who Osperay is. Similar to KENTA's attack on Moxley. Did they reference Osperay when Cobb & Great O Khan attacked? I honestly can't remember. Who is concerned about that? I’ve said this before but one of the good things about AEW is they don’t spoon feed the audience or treat them like they have never watched wrestling before or know how to use google. I don't think this argument will ever stop, it goes on and on and it seems to be about 50/50. One side, I love that AEW doesn't spoonfeed me like a child and treats us like wrestling fans that know other wrestling exists it's great Other side, I have no idea who some of these guys are can we get some video packages or vignettes or something so I know who they are? This argument is still going on about f***ing Danhausen.

I would think that the concern would like with whomever is worried about growing their TV audience. Will Osperay isn't a name known to casual viewers in the US. Just giving a short vignette after Khan & Cobb attacked about United Empire & Osperay would be 100% effective and isn't exactly spoonfeeding.

To be fair to the casual fan you're not selling NJPW as big threats. I can only think of one NJPW talent getting a win and thats Minoru Suzuki and it was on Dark. Now with restrictions opening they should send folks theyre not doing anything with over there and return the favor to Gedo and Jado.

There's a definite balance to be had, though. It wouldn't hurt to do a video package or some brief introduction. I don't want to have to do homework to watch AEW.
