Who cares about Japonese wrestling anyways!

[The Rated R CMStar]

WWE.com has put up photos from Raw's tour of Japan. One photo features Ric Flair shaking hands with former IWGP Champion Yuji Nagata with the text "East Meets West as Fans Welcome Flair". Another photo features Jeff Hardy posing with another former IWGP champion Hiroshi Tanahashi with the text "Jeff Hardy Branches out with a Japanese Fan". I wonder if the idiots who run WWE.com even following wrestling at all ?

lol. wwe are so stupid. too bad most people are marks and wont notice

 

[MJ807]

Only internet fans will notice and the others that actually know who they are won't go to WWE.com

Wow, mistakes made on a caption. Stop the presses, I hope someone got fired for that botch! Do these websites really have nothing better to do than to look for errors in the captions of WWE pictures?

^^the japanese fans would be fuming though kaedon. pretty disrespectful

 

[Kaedon]

yes, the WWE went out of their way to diss the fans. Im totally sure thats what happened

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

they didnt no, dont try to make me look like an idiot lol. they should correct it though as soon as they find out

 

[Kaedon]

and, OMG, CMS just dissed everyone who is Japanese by misspelling it in the name of the thread. I mean really guys.


And btb, who is to say those guys arent fans of Flair and Hardy anyway?

^^lol i was about to post the exact same thing. i know it shouldnt be a big deal, but they are big figures in japan

 

[Kaedon]

Eh, so is Madonna, so is Yoshi

Imagine if some Japanese website wrote, Yuji Nagata and a friend when he posed beside a WWE wrestler. Fucking outrage among all the americans. But not because it's the other way round you guys don't find that disrespectful. Pfft Americans.

 

[Kaedon]

^^ Not true. Unless I am personally being miscategorized in a photo or something, I dont give shit. It doesnt affect me, so why should I care about something so small?

 

[phantomgerald]

^^Fair enough. Still think it's disrespectful though.

I had no idea who those other guys were and I'm sure that most WWE fans have no idea either.

It doesn;t make me a mark or stupid because I didn't know two former IWJPG or whatever it is World Champions.

Hiroshi Tanahashi a Japanese fan? Is this a joke or something? They should fire the guy who put the pictures over there! How can they make such a big mistake with the caption?? I mean everyone knows Tanahashi is a big legend in Japan, and he has worked with the WWE in the past, and he trained Hogan in his early days, lol this is crazy!
