Guest slacklet Report post Posted May 19, 2004 http://www.impactwrestling.com/content.aspx?snum=1822 HHH/HBK HIAC Confirmed By WWE, Steve Keirn Several people have emailed me over the past week concerning new WWE road agent Steve Keirn, who began in the position this past weekend as reported here on Saturday . For those of you who didn't know, Keirn used to wrestle as "Skinner" for the WWF in the early 90's before playing the role of some variations of Doink the Clown. I have also received a couple of e-mails this morning from several people who saw a commercial in their markets promoting the HHH vs. Shawn Michaels Hell In A Cell match for Bad Blood, "Two best friends, now bitter enemies, battle in the most brutal of matches - Hell In A Cell." I guess that means it's now been confirmed. http://www.impactwrestling.com/content.aspx?snum=1823 Huge Update On Possible New WWE Diva, More Than Just A "Sexy" Diva? We have been reporting that Takoko Inoue was going to have a dark match on Monday’s RAW in San Diego. However, although she was backstage, there apparently were some sort of last-minute changes and that match did not take place. However, she was backstage at WWE Judgment Day on Sunday. The Japanese female wrestler, Takoko Inoue, had a tryout match with WWE’s Jazz before RAW. John Laurinitis and Dave Finlay were amongst the writers and trainers overseeing the match. Takako was apparently very happy with her trying and his awaiting word back from WWE. She was caught saying that she wants to be more than the typical “Sexy” WWE diva. However, if they do happen to only use her as a “sexy” diva, then she can definatly fit that role. Rumors have been spreading that she may work under the name “Takashi”, as the WWE has recently copyrighted that name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TigerDriver91 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Can she wrestle like everyone said that Gail Kim can wrestle?? Put it to you this way. Takako in WWE will be the best wrestler on the entire female roster. Her skills are vastly superior to the Raw divas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 19, 2004 so...she's good looking...and can wrestle? Vince will fuck this up somehow. Something tells me she winds up on Smackdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TigerDriver91 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Now, Choken, don't be giving ol' Vinny Mac any ideas... Or she might end up on Smackdown in some bizarre, weird and strange storyline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nanks Report post Posted May 19, 2004 This just sounds WAY too familiar. If someone dug up the old thread anticipating Gail's debut you'd be reading all this exact same stuff. I can't trust WWE's ability to recruit properly from other feds and especially other countries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TigerDriver91 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 You are comparing Takako, who has 15 years of wrestling experience, to Gail Kim, who had what two or three? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nanks Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Well why all the carrying on leading up to her debut then?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thatdude21601 Report post Posted May 19, 2004 I think it's cool she is half-way prepared just to be T&A lol. I've only seen older stuff of her(mid 90's) but she was good then so I assume she is better or just as good now. Although I thought Vince didn't like Diva's who had previously posed nude lol. I really hope she gets a job, maybe she can help improve some of the other girls even. I think Takashi sounds like a men's name too, possibly Kenzo's bodyguard? More recent picture I believe.

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted May 19, 2004 Let's see....Gail Kim worked in Japan? No. Gail Kim been wrestling for over decade? No. Half-a-decade? No. Protect herself without causing injury? No. Gail Kim is another failure in people WWE shove down our throats. Over a year it's been and she still has yet to get ANY reactions for her entrance or matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
