Jack_Bauer Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 I like what I have seen from Kendo Ka Shin but I havent seen anything from Suzuki. I like the idea of the Japanese Mafia though.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 I too like the Yakuza idea, but only if they're not made into a joke.
Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 . Kendo Ka Shin (All Japan Pro Wrestling) and Kenzo Suzuki (World Japan) have recently worked dark matches for WWE and are the likely candidates to join. Wasn't the Ka Shin thing a one shot deal because he was in New York on holidays and had a dream to work for the WWE at least once???
Lil' Bitch Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Hell, might as well stick Funaki in with them. I would mark out if Hakushi came back. The shows will be headlined by Brock Lesnar vs. Chris Benoit for the WWE Title. And so it begins...
Guest StevieNightHeat Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 At least Smackdown are doing something right and building a new stable (where RAW only has Evolution), also add Ultimo and Funaki to the stable.
Guest Frank The Tank Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 I've heard Ka Shin was good, but I saw some of Suzuki on TNA and he sucked.
KTID Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 You are all aware that wrestlers don't have to be in a stable together just because they come from the same country.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Kenzo Suzuki This guy is aweful..aweful...aweful
cbacon Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 At least Smackdown are doing something right and building a new stable (where RAW only has Evolution), also add Ultimo and Funaki to the stable. Guy's like Funaki and Ultimo should feud with them, as to avoid hoss squashes
Dangerous A Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 I too like the Yakuza idea, but only if they're not made into a joke. It's WWE. You will see every single stereotype that has to do with Japan and Yakuza. They will be a joke. Plus, most of them are small. No way Vince has these little Japanese midgets beating his hosses, no sirree bub. WWE's writers don't know how to write any other way except that.
Dangerous A Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 Kenzo Suzuki This guy is aweful..aweful...aweful Actually, his stuff from New Japan wasn't that bad. He's still very young though. If you are going from his stint in TNA and WJ, then I could see where you think he is awful though.
Lil' Bitch Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 You are all aware that wrestlers don't have to be in a stable together just because they come from the same country. Remember this is WWE we're talking about
Guest Fook Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 This could definitely work if, and only if, they're not treated as a joke or a stereotype and are kept in the cruiser division where they can be a dominating force. Otherwise, they'll be taking the FBI's place as Taker's personal bitches. Kenzo Suzuki This guy is aweful..aweful...aweful So is your spelling...
KTID Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 You are all aware that wrestlers don't have to be in a stable together just because they come from the same country. Remember this is WWE we're talking about But WWE haven't done or even suggested doing this angle, its just everyone on this board suggesting they put all their Japanese wrestlers together in a stable, which is stupid. If WWE did it, they would be stupid. As it is though, its only you guys suggesting they do it you're all being stupid.
razazteca Posted October 22, 2003 Report Posted October 22, 2003 It would nice it they built a Mexico vs Japan angle up for Survivor Series. Or have heel Japan led by Tajiri vs face Japan led by Ultimo Dragon.
Youth N Asia Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 So are the Japanese guys just going to be the new FBI? Mini push to start and complete jobbers in a months time.
Zack Malibu Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 FBI vs. Yakuza feud, coming soon to you, and ONLY ON VELOCITY!
SamoaRowe Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 I've heard Ka Shin was good, but I saw some of Suzuki on TNA and he sucked. Is Suzuki the guy Saturn wrestled on the TNA one year show? Is so, that guy does suck. They'd be better off bringing my man, Perry Saturn, back.
Guest Anglesault Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 It would nice it they built a Mexico vs Japan angle up for Survivor Series. Uh, who would be the faces? Well, I guess it works in Texas, but otherwise, the build up will be two non US, not anti-US countries feuding. Er...
Zack Malibu Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 I've heard Ka Shin was good, but I saw some of Suzuki on TNA and he sucked. Is Suzuki the guy Saturn wrestled on the TNA one year show? Is so, that guy does suck. They'd be better off bringing my man, Perry Saturn, back. Didn't Suzuki quit/retire due to the death of another Japanese star during training? Also, I heard he's not that great, but you can't judge the Saturn match, since Japanese politics played a major part in Saturn not cooperating with him, etc.
Downhome Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 I love this Japanese Mafia idea, it's the best news I've heard in a VERY long time. Still, why wouldn't they bring in a few guys that would work in a division besides the Crusierweight division? I'd love to see a few heavy's come over to SD.
razazteca Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 It would nice it they built a Mexico vs Japan angle up for Survivor Series. Uh, who would be the faces? Well, I guess it works in Texas, but otherwise, the build up will be two non US, not anti-US countries feuding. Er... Mexico would be the Rudos and Japan as the face. Or it could be a mix match team like say Eddie, Tajiri, the new japanese guys vs Rey, Ultimo, Chavo, Funaki.
vermilion Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 I like the Yakuza angle, as long as they keep Funaki and Ultimo out of the group. They don't fit in at all. Speaking of Ultimo (off-topic), I'm surprised he hasn't tried to get a couple of his students in the CW division (particularly CIMA and Magnum). C-Max in the Yakuza group wouldn't be bad.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 It would nice it they built a Mexico vs Japan angle up for Survivor Series. Or have heel Japan led by Tajiri vs face Japan led by Ultimo Dragon. I was kinda thinking the same thing.
Steviekick Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 FBI vs. Yakuza feud, coming soon to you, and ONLY ON VELOCITY! It'll be GANG WARS 2K3~!
Guest Plushy Al Logan Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 FBI vs. Yakuza feud, coming soon to you, and ONLY ON VELOCITY! Yeah, and when Taker or Big Show don't have feuds, they will squash the poor bastards on a regular basis.
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted October 23, 2003 Report Posted October 23, 2003 I like Tajiri as the leader and I know Ultimo will never turn and the WWE probably won't do anything with him either, but I think it'd be kinda interesting after a short feud with someone, they revealed Ultimo as like the "Godfather" of the group. Tajiri still has a primary leader role, but Ultimo has been the big honcho in charge. Then again, that would also need some mic time, and my guess is that would end up like La Parka or Kai En Tai a few years back...
