There was a golden opportunity for Nakamura to win the WWE Championship off an unpopular champion in Jinder Mahal. Instead, it was just an East Asian-flavored repeat of the Wrestlemania XIX Booker T vs. Triple H feud.

Instead, it was just an East Asian-flavored repeat of the Wrestlemania XIX Booker T vs. Triple H feud. There was also vs AJ Styles, what felt like multiple times, and they just never did it Like I really don't get it, even if he had a shorter reign, the fact he never got it with as over as he was and Jinder got like a six month reign were some pretty terrible optics, especially considering Jinder went right back to jobbing when he lost the belt himself.

First Kyle O'Reilly. Now Kushida. Von Wagner is one dangerous mofo. Seriously though I always liked Kushida so I'm disappointed to hear this. He was definitely the better half of Jacket Time. Remember when Von Wagner was randomly on SD that one time? Are you kidding me? When he stood there with his arms crossed by Adam Pierce while no one acknowledged him and didn't even act liked he existed and then he never appeared on Smackdown again as if it never happened? How could anyone ever forget that? Without a doubt one of the greatest moments to ever happen in this great sport.

He should go to AEW and form a tandem with Hikaru Shida. They can both change their names to Ku Shida and Ru Shida, and be collectively known as Two-Shida. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

If Vince Russo worked for WWE Creative, he would have given him a weed gimmick and just call him Kush.

WOR: “The belief in WWE is that Kushida will be returning to NJPW in June this year” Couple of other notes:
Wwe knew that Kushida wasn’t staying and it wasn’t a big secret to the Lockeroom
Von Wagner beating him up last week was designed to write him off wwe
“the main roster people were never interested in him being bought up”
Meltzer and Bryan feel he wasted 3 years of his career and it was mistake for someone like him to sign with WWE in the first place
