WWE officially signs Japanese star Kenta

[Red Rain]

NXT > SD

I hope this doesn't become another Sin Cara, lol. His Mexico matches were good but his WWE were demolition zones.

 

[Red Rain]

Nope, Kenya has already crossed over through Bryan and Punk.
I do agree he should learn English.
Since Sin Cara was a cruiser his move set required greater signal calling and communication.

He's Japanese. That is a big advantage when it comes to adapting. Since the training style is much more similar to the states. Also all the technical, maneuvers and such is taught in English in Japan. So he can already direct a match with an American unlike Sin Cara 1 who doesn't speak a lick of English.

They aren't risking another Mistico. Everyone goes through NXT now.

Thank you, but I understand that. Still sucks he has to be there for like 2 years, though.

Who says he has to be there two years? There's no set time for how long you have to be there. You're there until you are deemed ready and they have a plan for you.

Yeah, well... He's obviously ready, he's been in the wrestling business for like 14 years and I hope they come up with a plan for him real quick. I say 3-6 months and he'll be on the main roster.

That he has been in the business for 14 years does not make him ready.

He's ready once he knows how to work TV angles, TV cameras and time restraints (not common in Japanese wrestling as it is much more sport oriented) and speaks English better/has gotten himself a mouth piece.

With how they have hyped this up surely they have plans for him. But he'll be groomed in Orlando until those plans are ready to be put into place.

Sure, I'm aware of those things. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. I'll be looking forward to seeing him on NXT!

STEEN!!!

I'll be watching NXT religiously once his black ass is there

Steen is losing/has lost a bit of weight as well. Really upped his work in the last couple of months.

How'd he even work a match, by god WWE knew it was signing a demolition derby or at least they learned very quickly.

 

[Red Rain]

HHH, above all else, is handling these things personally. I've seen him make mistakes, but never the same mistake twice.

 

[Butters!]

Would be thrilled to see him take on Sami Zayn.

Is it me or does Steenerico need to make a return?

If they can recreate the break up angle down the road? I'm all for it.

Who am I kidding. I'd be for it either way. Sami Zayn and Kervin Stronk plx
