Garrosh appeared in two frames and wasn’t even identified. That’s the exact opposite of “hyped”.

He was turned into a meme at the end of TBC.
All the cool-factor from WC3 and early TBC was stripped away when they brought him back.
We literally beheaded the guy, twice, and he’s still as pompous and self-righteous as ever.
Oh, and at the end of the covenant campaign he doesn’t even take the shot.
He had one chance at being somewhat cool and interesting and he just doesn’t.
All of which are equally true of Garrosh, just adjust the timeline down a few expansions.
Okay, we didn’t behead Garrosh, Thrall struck him with lightning. But that’s equal in terms of “you’re really dead this time”-ness, I’d say.
You wouldn’t be good at marketing if you think that wasn’t hype.
It’s called a Teaser for a reason.
Garrosh didn’t fake die the first time though, we saw exactly what happened to him.
Kael’thas somehow survived losing his head only to come back and lose it again.
Garrosh had an arc that could have been great if the writers had been more adept at telling his story. His death was pretty big deal, having a lasting impact on Thrall.
Kael’thas had a story that ended long ago and then did nothing to truly redeem himself in the afterlife. His motivations were entirely selfish.
That trailer was pretty clear on showing us it was Garrosh, he is very distinctive in appearance. I know it got my a bit hyped to see him again.

Challenge accepted.
TBC did the lore dirty in general.
Though personally I never saw why people liked Garrosh so much except as a nod to the Warcraft 2 era Horde. He still feels like discount Grom.

Garrosh nearly lost a melee fight to a elemental shaman. Lol

And it left Thrall a broken husk with no closure in sight.
Thrall that just so happens to be in the Shadowlands right now. Quite a few were looking forward to that angle in the Revendreth campaign, which fits the theme of the faction, being about redemption.
Instead we got to finish the Necrolord campaign, and Kael’thas fake-pretending he’s getting “better” while just doing whatever he wants as soon as the Accuser as her back turned.
Garrosh actually won that fight. Thrall was defeated that day, still is. Can’t summon a small bit of an elemental to water his plants if he wanted to.
Considering Garrosh is their main secret source of anima and they filled Kael with lots if experimental anima stuff, he’s probably at least 50% Garrosh now.
You must no have rescued him yet
That’s like the entire point, it’s like you’re almost getting.
Instead, we rescued some no name elf that hasn’t been relevant in 12 years that wasn’t even important enough to make the zone trailer.
All that, to get a shared campaign with another faction. Because somehow, it would have cost too much to make 4 separate campaigns.
the necrolord covenant campaign didnt resolve anything with the house of the chosen so theres likely to be further campaign down the road and that could mean for Venthyr something involving Garrosh
Fixed it for you.

To be fair the first thing the player should do if he sees Garrosh is to send him to super hell. Maybe he’s gonna be a raid boss again.
He could be like the second or third boss of the next raid. That would be way cooler
Sylvanas probably already converted him
The night fae campaign also has two major unresolved plot threads. But I’d still hold out hope for us getting someone interesting like actual Grom instead of Grom Lite.

I gave up trying to understand the random nonsense that people post on these forums.
It is a reddit meme.
Kids asks for (show picture of something)
Mom says you have that at home.
(show picture of something else that is not what the kid was asking for)
I kinda like my boy KT though, not to be confused with the undead guy that caused the magical corruption on the Sunwell that doomed us all, of course.
Garrosh was kinda like Grommash, but unlike him, Garrosh was just pure badassery, nothing on his heart and head though.
Garrosh was that guy having a hard time figuring out who he really was. Then he was like guys I got it figured out. And we were like na bro that ain’t cool
