>>6128096I wasn't really a fan of "The Elite", I was a fan of Kenny, but regardless, I know who Tanahashi is. I don't need video packages to introduce him, or anyone in NJPW, to me. That's not the point, you apologist for utter dogshit. The point is that you should have surface level bare-minimum expectations of what you watch to effectively introduce characters even if you, personally know of them.
This is made even worse by the fact that, as the numbers evidence, AEW has clearly grown beyond that Western NJPW fanbase. They're aware most of their fans wouldn't know a Tanahashi, yet expecting them to. Even if the entire audience did, though, I'd expect a video package, some manner of intro, because a lack thereof is simply lazy. I have standards, you do not. That's what this comes down to, pleb.
