>>14145796>as a way to promote Perry coming backNo one's going to care.
Fucking no one.
Perry has no fans. He doesn't have a single fan in NJPW. He never had fans or a following in AEW, his theme was more over than he was, and everything that was good about him was propped up by other stars.
Perry coming back means absolutely nothing. It draws nothing. In the grand scheme of AEW, it means nothing when talent revolves in and out of the place. You have Okada, you have guys like Kenny Omega, former WWE talent like PAC and Edge and all-rounders like Christian, and they are trying (all except Okada) but consistently there is no direction for AEW nor any sort of consistent goal.
Perry comes back? Cool. I'm sure he'll get a mild pop from the audience, it'll do okay on reddit, it'll get one or two threads on /pw/ laughing at AEW with a couple of posts on twitter with marks going crazy talking about the potential. But in 2 months, no one will care. Hell, in 3 weeks.
