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.
