KENTA officially signs for WWE

[Guest Ciaran The King]

No its not, they cant cut promos so they're useless in WWE.

 

Everyone just needs a chance :)

[Guest Magic]

But it they literally can't speak the language, giving them a chance isn't going to help much when cutting a promo is it? :lol

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Okay well in that situation give him to Heyman, hire an actor who can translate who could play a tyrannical manager. Yes of course not speaking the lingo is a hindrance but if the talent is booked properly then embarrassment can be avoided

[Guest The Beltster]

Neither can Brock Lesnar, so it's a gamble.

Brock Lesnar can cut great promos.

 

And back to Japanese guys, WWE wont use them properly because they dont know how. They f*ck it up every time plus the fanbase dont care anyway so it'll be more of the same with this guy.

Sadly you are correct.....but fingers crossed

WWE.COM has a piece up where Triple H, Cesaro (until Heyman stops the interview :lol), Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan discuss when they first saw / heard of Kenta (now no longer in all caps) and why they're looking forward to his appearing in WWE.

 

Ring of Honor (including a name-check for Glory by Honor V), Pro Wrestling Noah, AJPW, Austin Aries, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Naomichi Marufuji, Tiger Mask and Dynamite Kid all get a mention too.

Well don't keep us in suspense, you tease!

Thanks. The anticipation was killing me.

 

I'm kinda bummed they're not keeping capital KENTA. Kenta is Kenta Kobashi and anyone who tries to tell me otherwise is gonna get chopped across the chest to death.

Yeah. This. Kenta is Kenta Kobashi and KENTA is the face-kneeing bringer of kneed faces.

 

Although, loads of WWE's graphics are done in capitals anyways, so I can just pretend it's right whenever I see a poster. :lol

 

That being said, the fuss they're making of KENTA's history bodes well for him coming into the company. I've said that they should just sell him as an International Superstar and make a fuss about who he is and what he's renowned for, so it actually makes me a little bit glad to see that's what's happened so far.

 

Although there is obviously the usual gap of the website being much more open to acknowledging things that wouldn't be mentioned on TV, so I'm gonna reserve my judgement until he actually makes his debut. I've been hopeful before and look how that's turned out...

[Maxximus 353]

Calling it now. KENTA lasts 18 months in the wwe, gets cut, and we end up with CENA.

[Guest John Hancock]

Nah, they're gunna make him Jeremy Kin, comedy Japanese basketball superstar. That whole thing was like three years ago, so it's just prime for a relevant pro-wrestling reference.

The fact they mentioned KENTA being the creator of the GTS and BKK in glowing terms also bodes well.

[Guest Gomi]

From what i have been reading Kenta has decent English. Also good to read Bryan and Rollins praising his charisma and aura.

Well, it's been confirmed by a promo vignette that he's debuting at NXT Takeover as... KENTA.

 

The vignette for the show had him in his standard ring gear throwing a kick, so it looks like he's keeping the gimmick intact, which is good new for Devitt and Steen.
