Found this blog thanks to Deadspin!!! foodcourtlunch.com/?p=401It's pretty funny, about some of wrestlings greatest stereotypes, and how pretty much you are a heel if you are foreign. |

I'd rather sneaky asian guy than the current goofy asian guy WWE loves to do so much. Atleast with Fuji he was a threat, look at Tajiri's run when he was Regal's second in command and Kenzo's with 'i love white woman and speak engrish'

I wish WWE would have kept with the original gimmick for Kenzo(Hirohito).

All his accomplishments in the ring can basically be laid squarely on the shoulders of his respective tag partners, Toru Tanaka and later, Mr. Saito. By himself, he had little going for him. Somewhat poor choice for a manager as well. Why have someone who can "barely speak English" (even though it was an act, Fuji's from Hawaii) speak for others? |

I'm talking kayfabe sense, if you knew Fuji was against you you'd expect to have to fight one of his guys |

They forgot the wild Samoan stereotype. It's not like they have to look deep in old tapes to find good examples, Umaga is on Tv

Like I posted over there,
For the most part, Native Americans in wrestling were good guys. Wahoo McDaniel, Chief Jay Strongbow, etc.
I liked how after the fall of the Soviet Union, both Nikita Koloff (in the NWA) and Nikolai Volkoff (in the WWF) were booked as good guys from Lithuania who loved America.

All Japanese guys are masters of the martial arts, at least it was that way 15-20 years ago.

Yep, because there is nothing more fearsome than a 40 year old fat guy in poor health from Samoa.

I love the Slick clip "Not only does he have lots of money from real estate, he also has a lot of Colombian friends." and "I deal in property."
