He has visited since claiming he was "done" with this place though.
He just hasn't posted. |

It's funny to think the two most successful Japanesse wrestlers in company history aren't even Japanesse: Fuji and Yokozuna. Like you have to go back to Mr Saito where the company treated an actual Japanesse wrestler as something more than a comedy stereotype and pushed effectively

Lol I'm on a long bus ride so I put together a list of the WWF "Asian gimmicks"off the top of my head.
Kenzo Suzuki Yoshi Tatsu Orient Express Tajiri Fuji and Yokozuna Jimmy Wang Yang Sakoda. Kaientai complete with the English voiceovers Lol Tensai Hakushi Lol was AL Snow's Avatar considered Asian Guys like Inoki, Yoshi Yatsu, Sakaguchi tried forever to get over in the WWF and failed. Lol not the best track record |

Doesnt help that most of these are really racist.
Why they have to present every Oriental worker with these oriental subtexts is beyond me. KENTAs music for example. Why cant he just come out to music? Why does his ethnicity have to be his gimmick? Cant he just be a brown vanilla miget? (Love KENTA but my point stands.) |

I was just about to add that.
A Japanesse wrestler comes along and being that it's the WWE they need a gimmick (not saying that's wrong) so they pick out of the box of Asian Stereotypes. I'm waiting for Nakamura to get called up and be given a gimmick where he's late to matches because he's a shitty driver |

Then we join the antics of Ellsworth trying to teach Shinsuke how to drive.
They are later paired as the team " The Chin and the Chinaman" It's the WWE, so not being Chinese doesn't matter. |

Think even Kenzo and Tajiri persuaded them to do something else instead for their own safety whenever they'd want to go back to Japan and not have to risk dealing with a pissed off Yakuza. |

WWE Creative: So Shinsuke, we are trying to come up with a gimmick for you. What are your hobbies?
Shinsuke: well I like video games Creative: Like Dance/Dance Revolution! I could see that being a coversation that was/will be had |
