Japanese tag team may work RAW dark match

Courtesy of Kris Z's newsletter:

 

There is talk that Turmeric Storm (Tomoaki Honma & Kazushi Miyamoto) may get a dark match on the WWE RAW tapings next Monday night in San Antonio, Texas. TS will be there with Arashi, Kaz Hayashi, Satoshi Kojima, & Keiji Muto, as they will be working in San Antonio the day before for River City Wrestling. Tonight, though, the AJPW stars will be in Philly for the Ring of Honor Final Battle 203 megacard.

Why? So you can see them get jobbed to Cade and Jindrak in 5 minutes?

[LucharesuFan619 0]

Yeah, it's too bad it's not at SmackDown! At least then they could be jobbing to WGTT, Los Guerreros (dream f'n match; I don't have to have seen either of the Japanese guys, because Guerreros can work any style; LOL), etc.

 

Then again, a match vs. the Dudleyz could be *decent*, and don't forget - WWE *LOVES* nationality-based storylines, because they ALWAYS sell (or do they...pooey)...so maybe La Res. vs. TS...

 

Oh, fuck it...let's all just sit back, relax, and watch them get stomped by Cade & Jindrak (both of whom are great workers, but are being overpushed and/or pushed too quickly) like Corey mentioned...

5 minutes? Love your optimism, but these days a 5 minute match on Heat is an epic, relatively speaking. I'll guess 3 minutes 20, tops. And not only do they job to that shitty finisher, there's a spot in the match where Cade sneezes and both the japs fall over. What a stud!

[Guest BionicRedneck]

They (Turmeric Storm) rule it, by the way.

For what it's worth - when Kendo Kashin worked the SmackDown! taping awhile back (he was in town for a CZW show), his match with Noble wasn't televised.

 

 

Oh well...it's the holidays (or was), so let's be optimistic...We'll just have to wait and see...

For a chance to see local workers that might also work at the ROH show with the Japanese wrestlers. I mark out for the local guys.....whenever I am not stalking FUNAKI

Jindrak a great worker?

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

Thanks for that.

Thanks for that.

Great stud, not worker. Stud.

[Guest DeathBecomesYou]

Jindrak doesn't have to be a great (or even good) worker, he's a HOSS dammit, and as long as Vince McMahon thinks big guys = money, workers like Jindrak will always be in WWE . I actually hope Turmeric Storm never get any closer than this to WWE, because what would they get if they signed? A spot in Tajiri's little group on Velocity? Jobbing to the ever shitty Dudleys?

All the All Japan wrestlers should head over to the WWE. It's probably the only place where they'll actually get booked WORSE than by Mutoh.

Might make 'em happier, eh Vyce?

WWE needs Don Frye and Bob Sapp

[Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist]

The problem with Sapp is that he has little US exposure. If he was as famous in the States as he is in Japan, he'd be a lock for WM XX

[razazteca 0]

What is stopping WWE from promoting Bob Sapp and Quintin Jackson as the worst possible stereotype of a black man on Raw? The scary big black menace and the brotha who does not give a fuck?

[Guest Jimbo]

Tumeric Storm was very good last night at the RoH show. They are neither flashy, nor uber technical, rather just solid workers who are able to put on a simple, yet solid and effective match.

We're in desparate need of more shit like that on RAW.

Don Frye, didn't he have some famous promo that was like:

 

I'm going to beat you. I'll beat the living shit shit out of you. You will lose and I will win. You're going to die. I'm going to beat the fucking hell out of you.

[Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist]

Wasnt that Quinton Jackson?? Now there's a high quality promo. Fuck John Cena, Rampage-Rock for WM XX

Someone on the otherarena.com board mentioned this idea...book TS vs. Venis/Storm. I agree - it'd be better than vs. Jindrak/Cade or the Dudleyz. Let's hope they book them.
