Would the joker spot have to be someone unexpected and still well known for the “casual” fan? Unexpected in that AEW fans would be over the moon for, and well known for people hearing about the ppv but not having seen it would check out AEW to see this person in action.
Unless I'm missing one, the "Jokers" to date have been:

Double or Nothing 2019: Adam Page
All Out 2019: Mercedes Martinez
All Out 2020: Matt Sydal
Revolution 2021: no Joker/Surprise Debut

So this far we had two "debuts" as Jokers, an admittedly tiny sample size, but I don't know that Martinez or Sydal are people casual fans know/are considered 'huge surprises'. Which is to say a Mike Bailey/Nick Gage is closer to the level than a Daniel Bryan/Samoa Joe/John Cena/Hologram Roddy Piper.

I know a couple of wrestling legends who have at least a dozen Joker's Cards and would be yet another link to the good old days of WCW

They're Dark, and they're Christian AF.

Yeah, it was the brass ring ladder match, not the battle royale. If you were including those then you'd also need to include Brian Cage too.

I feel like they're letting him get the villain out of his system right now as it's a fun way to bring him in and lets him do fun stuff, but if he turns out to have what it takes in the ring, Ogogo could be a major babyface.

Basically yeah, with a side of nostalgia for the last period in history we were considered a proper world power before the empire started to be dismantled.

You can imagine the kind of people who get super into it.

We'll never get a number again because ShowBuzzDaily has completely disappeared. Cody's promo killed AEW and ShowBuzzDaily.

Every member of the factory is going to do a gimmick based on their favorite crime series. Solow starts cooking meth and shave his head like Walter White. Camarato is gonna do the Dennis Franz in NYPD Blue gimmick cause he didn't understand the assignment.
