WWE want to sign Japanese Wrestlers...to give them silly gimmicks and or job them out in handicap matches. TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA! Kiyoshi and No Limit do not have silly gimmicks. They DID job No Limit out to Kevin "Slower Than The Speed Of Evolution" Nash but those two are kinda on loan anyway. But let's not pretend the WWE is the holy land where Japanese wrestlers won't be stereotypes and each of them will have 20 minute epics with Cena and Orton. |

Never said they would.
I think Tajiri did pretty well in his time, Dude was over everywhere. Same with Funaki.

I have only seen Kiyoshi win two matches in his TNA Tenure so far one was his debut and the other was a Webmatch |

Not holding out hope for them signing anybody good. All the good Puro guys would be passed over. I mean, if they waved off TakMo, they'll wave off anybody.

Milano with Santino as his manager would be great.

Bit of a change from "too Asian looking". At least Morishima wasn't hired because they didn't like Harley Race's claims that he'd be the new Terry Gordy. I'm sorry, but I still think Morishima looks like a fat woman. |

I shudder to think what they'd do to guys like Milano & BxB Hulk. They'd probably bring them in together and turn them into Billy-san & Son Chucku. What's worse is that the WWE might actually do that. |

The only question I have is about how anyone they bring in will adapt to the WWE safe style.
Aside from that, I'm just hoping we don't get a repeat of what happened with Ultimo Dragon a few years back...

I can't wait for the debut of Ching Chong, the wrestling rice farmer.
