I guess not, maybe like 5 or 6. Time isn’t always linear.

Went there in April for a concert and you're spot on.
A local I chatted up even said, on a map it looks bigger than it actually is. You'd think there's millions of people there but ITB there's less than two million.
Said concert was at Lucas Oil, that's a fantastic venue. Easy to get to, enough parking around and for those staying downtown, it's there. Right off I-70 too.

Do they even have an accent?
Like Detroit and Chicago you can tell. Or Kentucky and further south. Never heard of an Indianapolis accent though.

Apparently KO and Samis contracts are up this year...AEW has prepared contracts for their agents when they're allowed

According to KO himself, his contract runs out early next year.
Kevin Owens says his WWE contract is up soon, talks what’s next
The Grand Slam champ has about nine months left on his current deal. He’s not taking anything for granted, but it doesn’t sound like KO can picture himself working anywhere else.

Same, has it really been that long? I guess it has since I recall they resigned a few months before Mania 38.
People were saying what a mistake they both made but then KO main evented against Austin and Sami went in to join the Bloodline later that year.
I would be surprised if either leaves unless WWE gets cheap on them or if one of them really wants to do the lighter schedule.
Expect that no matter where they go, both are gonna use AEW as a bargaining chip at the least. They'd be stupid not to.
I wouldn't be surprised to see either of them stay or go, honestly. Though I do think there's been a change in the tide in the last 6 months. WWE's done a hell of a lot better job presenting/building stars, and AEW has largely missed their big gets with Edge/Mercedes/Okada. Ospreay, to their credit, has done well so far.
I think one of the big things is, what's your selling point to either of them? Both probably realize there's a slim shot of them winning a world title anymore. Both have main evented Wrestlemania, KO against Stone Cold. There's not a lot of accomplishment you can sell them on, so you're probably gonna have to be comparable to AEW in money or schedule.
But I'd be legitimately concerned about some of the dumb shit KO would do without a leash on in AEW.

Yes. They are big stars, presented as big stars, and are drawing big considering the money that was spent.
I personally love how Okada was chased as one of the best wrestlers in the world and is tagging along with the ratings killers to say "Bitch" as a comedy spot, rather than actually doing something meaningful.
