more details on Kenzo/Hiroko's meeting with vince

[Guest Trivia247]

Hiroko Suzuki recently did an interview in Japan where she announced her WWE signing, as well as the details of how it went down.

 

She stated that she went to a meeting with Vince McMahon where he laid down the Hirohito gimmick and the ring costume for Kenzo Suzuki. Hiroko said that she let Vince know all of the problems with the gimmick, and everything that the Japanese would dislike and discredit about it.

 

Kenzo doesn't speak English, so Hiroko was his translator for conversation between Vince and Kenzo. She apparently refused to allow Kenzo to use the gimmick because of what it meant culturally in Japan.

 

WWE Management was said to be very shocked that Hiroko was so strong about the subject and the problems with the gimmick, and Vince ended up offering her a job as a ring attendant for Kenzo, mainly so that she can travel with him and be his interpreter.

 

Hirohito was slated to be in RAW's second biggest program this summer, but that will no longer happen. Also, Hiroko has been in talks recently about doing a Playboy photo shoot.

if all this is true then Hiroko has a good head on her shoulders and ain't no meek sterotypical Japanese woman. Definately the makings of a Diva. Good for her to look out for her husbands well being when he can't speak a word of english.

Last week's WON said none of this happened.

I sure hope the title program wasnt that 2nd biggest program they were talking about. But who else would they slate him against? He just can't fit anywhere on Raw. He'd definitely disturb the good flow they have going.

It means we get another shitty wrestler getting a big push on Smackdown, and at least another shitty feud revolving around Playboy. Whoopie.

Good.

Well, Kenzo sucks so he'll fit perfectly on SD.

NOW Can I call everyone who said Kenzo Suzuki threatened Mysterio in his latest promo an idiot, considering he can't speak English?

[tbondrage99 0]

You know what I dont care what anyone says, Im actually starting to get a bit excited for Kenzo to debut, sure after he debuts I will probally hate him like everyone else does, but until then Im actually getting a little excited about his debut. Am I wrong for this?

"Mysterio" is the same in any language.

Yes and no, depending on who you ask. I thought he was gonig to be good when he showed up on TNA, but he just completely sucked in the ring, so it's just a matter of time.

Yeah, you're wrong, naive, an idiot, and a bad person, too.

 

Seriously, though, considering the advance word we'd gotten on Jones, SOH, and Mordechai, if people who have seen him work says he sucks ass, I'm inclined to believe them. If he doesn't, it will be a pleasant surprise. However, don't get your hopes up.

 

That being said, if he does, who cares?! It's just Smackdown. It's just dumping another pile of crap of a mountain of crap.

hmm, Gerweck reported this few weeks ago, along with her pic in the profile section and I thought it was bs for the most part.

[Guest Choken One]

Wow.

 

For once some one stood up to Vince...

 

 

She'll be on Blowjob Detail for the next five years...right next to Jacqueline.

Kenzo is on Smackdown? I thought he was suppose to be on Raw? Are there any women wrestlers on Smackdown besides Hiroko, what is she going to do now? Have a catfight with Sable or Stephanie McMahan?

[thuganomics 0]

Since when can Hiroki wrestle. She should fit it well as Smackdown eye candy.

[Guest Choken One]

ummm...

 

According to the pundits...she was a pretty good worker in Japan...

 

 

Then again..we were told that about Gail Kim...we are STILL wating for that to be proven...Kinda like how Edge is supposed to be good but we havent seen that proof just yet either.

"Mysterio" is the same in any language.

 

No it isn't.

 

It's geheimnis in German, mystère in French, geheimzinnigheid in Dutch, mystery in English, and a thousand other things in a thousand other languages.

 

Granted, the WWE spells it wrong, but then again, they also dropped Jr. for no reason, and are the same people who spelled Chyna with a Y and Dog with two G's.

 

*is picky*

then a Gail Kim comes by and people here go into orgasmic fits on how good she is or she was or what they heard..and she turned out to be........

shit

 

At least Gail has the ability to improve unlike

 

"Oy, I don't wanna travel its too hard to go from Airport to airport, I wanna go walk about oy oy."

What does she look like? Anyone have a pic?

[Guest Trivia247]

 

thats her

Hiroko is not a wrestler. And Kenzo's promos have aired only on Smackdown.

"So which is true about hearing peoples ability ahead of time?"

 

Assume everyone coming in is shit unless you've seen them yourself. If they were big in another company, assume they'll be shit because of WWE-style reprogramming.

Supposedly, he was going to feud w/ Benoit for the title, as well as feud w/ Jericho. Changing Benoit's & Jericho's hometowns to American cities was supposed to be the prelude to them feuding w/ the Japanese "Hirohito" character.

Did you like Desperado with Tony Flags?

Meh I usually wait until I see them in action before I make up my mind on them.

[Guest Korgath]

Say what!?? That is the biggest pile of racist, sexist, insensitive crap I have ever heard.

 

If this really happened, then that explains a lot about why management is reportedly souring on Kenzo.

The report never said that Kenzo can't speak Spanish. Shit, Rey can barely speak English either.
