AEW Roster: Every Confirmed Name (So Far)

12. Takehiro Yamamura

Yamamura is another 23 year old who's yet to hit his prime. Puroresu fans in the States should be licking their chops at some of the talent Cima is bringing with him to All Elite, and this former Dragon Gate rookie is near the top of the list. Oddly, he's one of the few new stars in AEW that probably wouldn't fit in to the WWE system.

Standing a scant 5ft 8 inches and weighing less than 160lbs, Takehiro is barely big enough to make a splash on 205 Live. That won't hold him back when it comes to AEW's target audience.

In Dragon Gate, Yamamura was a member of the Over Generation (alongside Eita, Gamma, Punch Tominaga, Kaito Ishida and the aforementioned El Lindaman). Don't let his lack of physical stature fool you. In fact, let that be the rule generally when it comes to these Japanese imports.
