Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 # Ultimo Dragon has officially signed his WWE contract and is expected to debut on Smackdown some time this month. He is expected to make a public announcement at either the 5/6 Toryumon (the promotion Dragon owns) event, where he'll be wrestling Cima. (Thanks to The Wrestling Observer) I don't know wheither to feeel good or bad about this. Good because that is World Class Skill coming in the form of Ultimo, even though it is probably gonna be slower pace due to the recovered injury Bad because its still the fuckin WWE and might make him job to Albert on Velocity.

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Can't wait to see him get squashed by DeMott, A-Train and Show! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RedJed Report post Posted May 4, 2003 I know way back when there was a plan of action to put him in tags with Rey Jr to start, not sure if that will still be the case or not though. I'm really skeptical about this just because Heyman was the one originally making the push to really want to bring him in, as he was excited about booking him on Smackdown. But now that Heyman is on the outs, and Smackdown is basically treading away the same formula as Raw, I think the odds of Dragon even being a standout star on the show is maybe a 1 in 50 chance. I guess a CW feud with Hardy might be cool though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 4, 2003 WCW: Yuji Nagata vs. Ultimo Dragon ending in a submission from a Fujiwara Armbar... On the same card as Eddie vs. Rey... WWE: Nathan Jones vs. Ultimo Dragon ending in a big boot.... On the same card as Big Show vs. Rey. WWE & WCW: Hogan vs. Piper main eventing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Space_Cowboy Report post Posted May 4, 2003 The thought of matches with Rey, Tajiri, maybe Benoit and other good wrestlers = great. The thought of matches with A-Train and Big Show makes me shudder in fear though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Silly chick, Japs don't fight against each other, Japs are evil and conspiring. The question is: When will Dragon, Tajiri, and Funaki chop off Matt Hardys penis? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted May 4, 2003 WWE needs to sign Masato Tanaka. The Japanese Job Squad can be in the ring about to job when Masato walks into the ring from the crowd in street clothes looking like he is lost. He sees the Japanese Job Squad getting beat down so he just destroys their opponents. The Japanese Job Squad would have confused looks on their faces and then they would walk to hte back without Masato. In the following weeks you would see Masato behind them in the shadows or behind walls peaking at them looking longingly, without them knowing he was there. During their matches he would continue coming out and destroying their opponents when they were getting beat up by powerbombing them through tables or throwing a fireball at them, but they wouldn't know why. Eventually he would help them win the tag titles and they would finally accept him after the match. In the following weeks you would see Masato bringing them stacks of money and women, but they would never know where they are from and Masato would never speak during any of these segments. This would be kind of like the demon following Chihiro in Spirited Away. I think it would be some good comedy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Sounds better that what they will eventually do with Dragon to me. They will probably have Ultimo spit fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted May 4, 2003 No Ultimo Dragon will probably come in and be real hot at first. They'll book him to look pretty good and he will put on good matches with the Guerrero's, Benoit, Rhyno, etc. Then the curse will strike him like it is doing to Mysterio now.

Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 4, 2003 No no no. They will have Ultimo come in dressed like an actual dragon, spit fire, and get powerbombed by Big Show. THEN have Ultimo beat Matt Hardy for the cruiserweight title on Velocity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted May 4, 2003 See you forget that the WWE doesn't just want to bury a particular cruiserweight wrestler - they want to bury all cruiserweights... Cause remember: They're smaller, which means they are lesser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Remember when WWE gave out that poll and one of the questions was "would you like to see more ethnic characters in WWE?" Why would they ask such a question? Even if the majority said yes, that would only mean more stereotypical comedy characters - and those kinds of characters stay in the midcard for eternity.

Guest razazteca Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Too bad Ultimo Dragon will show up as a present to the Undertaker and get powerbombed to Velocity status. Any chances of Ultimo Dragon bringing in some amigos from Mexico with him to Smackdown? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Space_Cowboy Report post Posted May 4, 2003 I know what they can do with him, Gangwars! They've already got the Italians, Ultimo can team with Funaki and Tajiri, then we can have evil japanese mafia vs evil italian mafia! And then the APA and LOD and Mr. America can crush all of them to show that America is superior to those evil foreign devils. Vince loves to steal things from the past, and gangwars worked so well last time, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JDMattitudeV1 Report post Posted May 4, 2003 Big Show, I choppy choppy you're Pee Pee! Seriously as good as it will be to see The Dragon again the WWE will bury him because (1) He is small. (2) He is Asian. (3) He committed the heinous crime of making a name for himself outside of World Wrestling Entertainment and hence must be punished.
