Vatican City definitely needs more representation in the WWE. Plus, it would also give D'angelo Dinero another shot at the big leagues!

No sympathy from me. If these regions want to have their own carny wrestling I wish them the best, WWE is blatantly a North American promotion, that happens to be available and occasionally tours internationally.

Represent, and treat for that matter, everywhere that isn't the USA better. So many good European and Asian wrestlers, so wildly misused. TNA had a Brit as their WHC, yet we're still waiting on the Barrett title win that should have happened during the Nexus days. Rockstar Spud is used better than most Europeans on that Impact roster. Also, represent ethnic minorities better too. Hey! We have three African-American fellows, let's shove em all together and make them a gospel group. Nobody cares! The above picture shows just how good that group could have been. Somewhat akin to Hassan on a much lower level, perhaps questioning WWE's motives on the treatment of ethnic minorities. They alone could have steered the change in ideology ready for the likes of Itami to come along. But instead, we get gospel group and an America hating Russian (who's actually Bulgarian). I'm half expecting Itami to be called up with a North Korean gimmick, teaming with Rusev because Vince still thinks the USSR is a thing. I love this post! I'd actually be down for a North Korean gimmmick because "the evil foreigner" will never completely die in wrestling. As long as it could be used to get more international talent in the door then why not? I'd rather it be given to someone other than Itami though since Itami's skill set is so loaded. It would better serve someone who needs a gimmick to get over. Yoshi Tatsu would have been good. Also, South Korea is supposed to have a decent wrestling scene (though it is impposible to find info about it). It could be interesting if WWE hired one of those dudes and billed him as a "South Korean who sympthizes with North Korea" just to add a little authenticity to it. That being said look out for Kim Jong-Kenta in 2015! I can't think of any South Korean (not counting Zainichi Koreans with Japanese names, and maybe not even any of them) who has been in WWE, period, aside from Jimmy Wang Yang, who was born and raised in the USA.

Only two Aussies on the roster (Emma and Buddy Murphy) who are either jobbers or being wasted...

I think even if we had a North Korean or Chinese monster heel, people would be saying "What, is this 1985? What relevance does this have?" while others wonder if they've turned the news on in years.

Rusev. Lana should bring in a North Korean and a Chinese wrestler as a tag team to back Rusev up on his way to the title.

The green ones. Agreed. There are way to many wrestlers from Azerbaijan on the roster.

The green ones. Yes, WWE could stand to have a bit more international flavour, but as much as I'd love to see Viko Batomango and Cedrick Von Haussen come back, that doesn't mean turning it into the damn Olympics and giving every nation a go.

Well, no of course, I was just making a point. To be honest I'm not sure what it was anymore. Meh. I'll just go back to my alcohol and Christmas loathing.

Yes, WWE could stand to have a bit more international flavour, but as much as I'd love to see Viko Batomango and Cedrick Von Haussen come back, that doesn't mean turning it into the damn Olympics and giving every nation a go. Having said that, a few of the more blatant ones are still there: India- they did have Jinder Mahal and The Great Khali, but both guys got released this year. Both guys didn't have a leg to stand on to stay in WWE, but with one billion people in a fairly wrestling-mad country, WWE probably should have made sure they had at least a couple more wrestlers of Indian descent in the NXT system before getting rid of them (a la how WWE never totally doesn't have a Samoan wrestler for more than a couple months.) South America as a whole could use more representation- Ezekiel Jackson left this year, and unlike Africa where there's at least some scattered superstars, there's almost nothing for that whole continent (Rosa Mendes is the ONLY representative for the entire continent in WWE right now- which is a huge problem.) For lesser ones: Mexico. Similar to the example of Japan, as said: Maybe half the WWE shouldn't be Japanese or Mexican- but there's only one Japanese wrestler and only two luchadors, only one of which is a native of Mexico. There should be at least a few more of both of those. Germany- one of the more notable wrestling countries in Europe- yet they don't have any German native in the WWE thus far- a very blatant snub for a country. Italy- Even with there now being a question of whether Santino Marella is going to be able to make a comeback or not instead of "he's retired for good", a huge blow for it. Italian audiences, and in the US Italian-American audiences, usually tend to go wild for Italian wrestlers- yet at the moment, the Swiss Cesaro's the closest thing to an Italian on the roster (and he's always been billed as a Swiss wrestler who has an Italian surname.) WWE DEFINITELY needs at least one or two native Italians (not even FBI joke ones) around.

I don't see nationality, race, gender, sexual orientation, height, weight, hair, facial features or limbs. Everyone's a beige amorphous ... you might want to see a doctor about that.
