One of the best female wrestlers of all time The Best asian superstar to appear in WWE.
Let's see..
Charisma, check Look, check Ring skills, check.
The fact she doesn't really speak much English but has the crowd in the palm of her hands is something that other Japanese or foreign workers could never pull off. She looks like a superhero from a comic book and it's a treat everytime she steps in the ring. The aura and quirkyness puts a smile on my face and she's given NXT star power.

The Best asian superstar to appear in WWE. Yeah. The Great Khali was World Heavyweight Champ once. Let me know when she gets there, then we can talk.

She's great on NXT, but I'm unsure how she would translate, for want of a better term, on the main roster.

Emma got in a lot more offense than she should've at TakeOver London.

Yeah. The Great Khali was World Heavyweight Champ once. Let me know when she gets there, then we can talk. Whatever. It's a terrible hyperbole. Last time I checked Tajiri and Itami have been in the WWE before. Hell Jushin Liger and Tenryu have made appearances for f*** sake. Asuka kicks ass. But seriously? Ultimo Dragon....you could argue TAKA and Shinzaki....

Hell, I think it could be arguable that Asuka isn't even the best female Asian talent they've ever had yet... Bull Nakano, Aja Kong, The Jumping Bomb Angels... Even The Crush Gals worked a MSG house show back in the day. That's not to say Asuka isn't awesome, because she is... Just don't want to undersell their past talents.

Actually I think she speaks english pretty darn well. Bare in mind she had already toured in the US multiple times before signing in NXT.

Dude, TAKA Michinoku was/is awesome. Not his fault he got saddled with a stereotypical gimmick.
I'm glad that Hideo Itami has so far escaped that curse.

I will say this: she's had the smoothest TRANSITION to the E, even compared to the ones that made it to the main roster.
Keep in mind Taijiri was in ECW for a good while before showing up. And he still got stuck with joke gimmicks.
Best? Nope.

I love me some Asuka. Looking forward to seeing how she is handled when they bump her to the main roster.
After thinking about it I'd say Iron Sheik was the best wrestler from Asia in the WWE. Bare in mind I'm not going off pure wrestling ability, I'm going off a combo of charisma/skill/impact in the company.

Asuka's awesome.
But for me, the best woman in the company is Sasha, then Bayley, then Becky.

Overrated based on yesterday's show, which admittedly is the only time I've watched her perform.

I think she's great. The only thing is I think she does the move NAOMI CALLS THE REAR VIEW a bit too much but her submissions and counters and strikes looks really good.
