Guest Real F'n Show Report post Posted June 13, 2004 from 411mania.com WWE has signed bodybuilder Ken Yasuda to a deal. It is expected that he will be brought in as the bodyguard for Kenzo Suzuki. No word on when he will debut. Credit: PWInsider.com Another useless signee... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steviekick 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 After seing Kenzo on Smackdown, maybe they figured that the best way to not make him look as shitty as he is would be to bring in a non-wrestler to be his bodyguard. Yuck. And I didn't think it could get any worse after Mordechai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted June 13, 2004 I actually like Mordecai.... You are in violation of thinking differently! Anytime a OVW Hoss is called up, he sucks despite only having one match and being told to not sell for anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted June 13, 2004 Maybe the bodyguard will interfere in the match so much that Kenzo won't have to do any offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anytime a OVW Hoss is called up, he sucks despite only having one match and being told to not sell for anyone. I wonder why he's only had one match on TV... Oh, and "bodybuilder?" Yeah, THAT sounds promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2004 Mordecai isn't even really THAT much of a hoss. Sure, he's bigger than most guys, but he's not Kane or Show or even A-Train. He just needs to do something to keep the crowd awake past his entrance. This signee sounds like a bad idea, but we'll see. I thought it wouldn't get worse than Eugene, myself.

Mordechai isn't a hoss, he isn't bigger than most others.... In fact he is like 6'3, he is only being put against cruiserweights to squash to make the Illusion of Hossness.... If JR bah Gawd can't find a Hoss he'll Make a Hoss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted June 13, 2004 Mordecai HAS to be a hoss. He has one 3:00 squash match, and he's already getting shat on by everyone....just like every other hoss. His promos are fine, although pre-recorded, so maybe he's the next Sean O'Haire, but he seems to be a hard worker from reports, and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.

tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2004 Well until I get bored of him, I shall continue to like Mordecai. About the bodyguard though, what does the WWE have with hiring big talentless guys and having them play the part of a bodyguard....Kevin Nash, Sid, this guy. Whos next?

Just seems like its part of the gimmick. HBK was more then capable of defending himself too but he had bodyguards cause it was part of the gimmick....Jericho as well...though his bodyguards were jokes since they were Howard Finkle & Ralphus.

Plus, rock stars' bodyguards usually are required to be able to carry the guy he's guarding when said rock star is drunk off his ass and passed out. I wouldn't be surprised if lots of wrestlers had similar things happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2004 Maybe one day if Im ever rich for whatever reason I'll have a bodyguard...and heres hoping it will be Tomko, so I can constantly mock his failed wrestling career....ah who am Im kidding hes a hoss so hes going to be there for years...

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted June 14, 2004 And heres what the bodyguard does... Kenzuki will come down on his royal Sedan with wifey and nameless masked jobbers carrying him.... then He will feigh.....yawn im too tired.. and gets his Bodyguard to wrestle his matches. By the time the Bodyguard nails whatever finisher he does. Kenzuki will wander into the ring and pin him. Im sure there will be some sort of stipulation in his contract to allow such a breaking of the rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Ultimate Fantasy Report post Posted June 14, 2004 That last post does not sound that bad, but they should do it with a cruiserweight like Jamie Knoble. See he would accept any match then then halfway he could shout "STUNT DOUBLE" and the hoss can switch places, it could be Matt Morgan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
