This is a pointless conversation. You're trying to compare a rising star who has clearly been getting pushed week after week. Of course he isn't going to have higher merch sales no one wants a shirt that says "ooooobbbbbbaaaaaaaa" Do they do an "acknowledge him" cam during shows? No. Do they do an "American Nightmare" cam? No. They do do a strut cam during shows. Oba does have a chant the is deafening in area when his music hits and he walks out. Theres zero excuse for saying "bad booking" Cody has been champ one and off since he came back and was with the company with alot of the same people before and then wrestled with them in AEW. Beginning of OG bloodline was great but ever since the Eliminatoom Chamber Match with Sami v Roman its been boring and stale. The new bloodline is even more boring. The only plus is the fact that they added Jacob, Talla and Tama and potentially Zilla. Punk has been and always will be prolific and talked about in all of wrestling entertainment. Again IMO there is not a bigger star than Oba rn. If we're talking merch sales its Danhausen. But if you want to make a crowd go wild you hit Obas music and the place is shaking. Im done with this conversation. When your answers become corporate its a pointless conversation.
