What Japanese wrestler would you like to see in

[Guest cynicalprofit]

Japan Star...un...Lyger would be great, but I'd like Dragonkid or one of those Touryman(sp) guys.

 

International, Norman Smiley or La Parka.

[Guest razazteca]

the NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUestra Semi-Completo Campeon de CMLL

 

Ultimo Guerrero

[Guest Choken One]

Only one Japan superstar ever Successfully worked in America and that was Great Muta...and to an extent...Jushin Lyger.

[Guest Mole]

Lyger defiently was sucessfull in America.

 

He did have the first match ever for Nitro.

 

Then again, I know jack shit about Puroresu wrestling, so.

[Guest ShooterJay]

Lyger was also the first (I think) WCW Light Heavyweight champion, a precursor to the cruiserweight title.

 

I'd love to see Lyger in WWE, Shinjiro Ohtani would be pretty cool also. Mexico- LA PARKA~! or this Shocker guy I keep hearing about.

 

Edit: I forgot international also meant Britain- Doug Williams! He's like Regal, but more built, and can do everything a lot faster and with greater impact than Regal does, and he has a sweet moveset

[Guest Downhome]

I would like to see Kawada, Misawa, Akiyama, and Kobashi all to show up to kick the ever lasting shit out of half of the WWE (both in ring talent, and backstage/office talent), but hey, that's just me.

 

I serioulsy think that CIMA would mold perfectly into WWE.

[Guest Choken One]

Wasn't there a rumor a few months ago...WWE and some Japan fed were having a Best of 7 thing ala WCW Starrcade 1995 and it would be Japan exclusive and they would have a DVD release...Obviously America would go over 4-3 with Rock winning the Decisive fall.

 

I would imagine the WWE reps would be

 

Kurt Angle

Chris Beniot

Rey Mysterio

Edge

The Rock

Eddy

Rob Van Dam

 

(U got your 5 best wrestlers and two biggest faces)

[Guest razazteca]

Masato Tanaka

CIMA

Ultimo Dragon

TAKA

Kaz Hayishi

Mr Gannosuke

[Guest Choken One]

Isn't Taka still under contract with WWE?

[Guest Downhome]

Isn't Taka still under contract with WWE?

No.

[Guest Choken One]

Sure, I thought there was this MASS internet eulogy for him and then they shocked us by Signing him for two years and then he went and got hurt?

[Guest Brian]

Ultimo did fine in the US up until his injury. Inoki had ome good runs here with Ridozan (he's Korean, but was made in Japan).

[Guest geniusMoment]

Masato Tanaka was one half of the ecw tag champs as well as a former ecw world champ.

I would love to see him in tna, not wwe, because if tna gets awesome then the tanaka awesome wars can once again show the rest of the country the meaning of brutal chairshots

[Guest EricMM]

I think both CIMA and Magnum TOKYO would get over.

[Guest cynicalprofit]

From what I rememebr reading CIMA is dogging it big time so I dont want him, unless he cares again.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

From Japan I want no one! They are doing fine over there and don't need Vince plumbing the depths of their bowels. But I do want the American Christopher Daniels under the guise CURRY MAN. That name is just so cool. And Jody Fleisch, that kid is rough.

[Guest kingkamala]

Masato Tanaka was successful to a certain degree in America during his ECW days. His matches with Mike Awesome were all at least *** and usually much more.

[Guest TheHulkster]

Naomichi Marufuji

Tiger Mask IV

Masato Tanaka

Kenta Kobashi (if he wasn't such a mess physically)

Shocker

Satoshi Kojima

 

I think they could be successful in the WWE if used right.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Chono was sucessful in Bill Watts era WCW.

 

TEAM 2000

Mutoh

Kea

Nagata

Akiyama

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

I'd like to see Shinjiro Ohtani kill everyone in the WWF.

[Guest Mr. Pink]

Magnum TOKYO already came to the US. He went to the WCW and was Alex Wright/Disco Inferno's manager. The two would dance, then he would try to dance, and they'd beat the shizit out of him.

 

 

 

Funny, but totally misused.

 

 

 

 

and I want CIMA to stay where he is.

Misused is one hell of an understatement.

[Guest cynicalprofit]

Magnum Tokyo could have been huge in WCW, reminded me of a cross between LaParka and Norman Smiley.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Magnum Tokyo could have been huge in WCW, reminded me of a cross between LaParka and Norman Smiley.

The mask and the outfit made me think of Bagwell's "Handsome Stranger" gimmick. He looked like a complete gigolo.

 

They called him "Tokyo Magnum" though, and I don't remember him doing anything but dancing during a segment one time and some one beating him up.

[Guest Vyce]

They called him "Tokyo Magnum" though, and I don't remember him doing anything but dancing during a segment one time and some one beating him up.

I could be wrong, but I think it's because the Japanese invert the surnames. So maybe WCW felt that the correct English way to list his name was "Tokyo Magnum".

 

Many of the Toryumon guys were there in WCW for a time, back when Ultimo Dragon was with the company and getting a push. Magnum got the most exposure, but you could often catch CIMA (back then he was Shiima Nobunaga), SUWA, and Sumo Fuji on WCW Saturday Night or Worldwide.

 

I would personally like to see someone like Kawada or Takayama in the WWE, but primarily just so that they could literally kick the shit out of all the people there I hate.

[Guest the 1inch punch]

Edit: I forgot international also meant Britain- Doug Williams! He's like Regal, but more built, and can do everything a lot faster and with greater impact than Regal does, and he has a sweet moveset

Point Number One- You forgot Jody Fleisch

 

Point Number Two- No one in the WWE could take the Chaos Theroy

 

Point Number three- FOR GOD SAKE, stop going on about Chris Daniels, he doesnt want to work for the WWE, and they arent interested in him

[Guest ShooterJay]

1. I didn't forget Jody- I love his work, and while he's cut for a small guy, height and weight wise he's the same size as Spike Dudley, and thus he'd be hoss fodder most of the time, and totally misused.

 

2. The Chaos Theory is basically a rollup into a German Suplex, I don't see why that move couldn't be taken by the WWE roster.

The Chris Daniels situation is mutual. The WWE snuffed him after he outworked about 90% of the roster, so Vince said no, and Chris was like, "Fuck you and the horse you came in on." Now he can rule all over the fuckin world on his OWN times.

[Guest wolverine]

Yeah, I'd put Mutoh on RAW. He'd fit it perfectly with all of the shitty workers on that side of the roster.

[Guest deadbeater]

When the divas get ready, I would love a visit from Manami Toyota.
