EdwardKnoxII 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2004 Major Japanese Star Backstage At RAW Is he coming in? Former All Japan Pro Wrestling Junior Heavyweight Champion Kendo Ka Shin was backstage at the RAW taping last night. Ka Shin did work a dark match for WWE a few months back but has not been offered a deal. He is looking for regular work in the United States. Ka Shin quit All Japan in January over political disputes with how the company was being run. Credit: PWInsider.com So to anyone that watches All Japan is this guy any good? And what kind of style does he wrestle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2004 If Ka Shin works the junior style then he will follow Ultimo Dragon's lead of being the regular jobber to the FBI on Velocity? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ced 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2004 Kendo Ka Shin: "Major Japanese Star"? Bah to that. BAH, I SAY! He'll have a SmackDown match, then they'll team him up with Ultimo Dragon & Funaki and have them feud with Tajiri, Jimmy Yang and that other guy on Velocity for all of eternity Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ced 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2004 What name does he use without the mask? He has used his real name of Tokimitsu Ishizawa. If he makes it onto the WWE roster, I imagine they will either keep him as Kendo Ka Shin, or have it bastardized into simply Kendo. If he comes in without the mask, he'll probably be Ichiro, Hiro, Baka or some name along those terms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted March 11, 2004 So this is the guy who fights the Gracies in Pride FC in the screw job matches? By "screw job" do you mean "getting face raped by Ryan Gracies fists"? Or are you referring to PRIDE 15 where Ryan ended up hurting himself and Ishizawa acted like he won the superbowl? Or are you saying he's a tomato can, a jobber, there to make the other fighter look good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jimmy Saint Report post Posted March 12, 2004 The problem with Kendo Ka Shin is there is probably 50 better juniors in Japan than him in terms of workrate. He has way more charisma than the average cruiser in the WWE though. He can be a master dickhead heel when he feels like it [witness him refusing to shake Stan Hansen's hand then threatening him in 02 getting massive heel heat in the process]. Problem is you need someone like Masa Fuchi, Ohtani or Lyger to drag a watchable match out of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
