What went wrong?
he's nothing but an entrance and that gets old really quickly when he's on tv every single week

They called him King of Strong Style and didn't let him work strong style.

That haircut is retarded as fuck, he should go back to short hair
His style doesn't fit the wwe
He's old now and even when he was young he wasn't that good.
Didn't really feud with anybody besides Joe. Joe's great, but I dunno, it felt like there was some serious diminishing returns on their matches.
Oh you mean his main roster run? Not much, he's been great.
1. WWE creative doesn't understand his eccentric character. THE ARTIST KNOWN AS SHINSUKE.
2. Every wrestler most conform to the simple WWE in-ring style. No more strong style.
3. WWE writers always end up making Japanese wrestlers look stupid and childlike.
He's just been a smoke and mirrors dancing gimmick.

shitty wrestler
Watching him try and work WWE's "FAKE AND GAY" style is CRINGE
>get beat up the whole match
>makes his comeback (or gets a hot tag) with a couple of forearms and kicks
>hits the kinsasha or gets pinned
They waited too long for him to have his first non-dark match on the main roster....... He's just kicks and punches. Maybe one reverse exploder. Maybe a chokehold........ Should have been cutting promos in Japanese or had a Heyman or be a silent brooding type, I cringe every time he speaks English and I can't be the only one.

He's yellow.
>>2895777
WWE just sucks and doesnt know how to book babyfaces.

>WWE just sucks
fixed it for you
WWMEME is just shit
>>2895777
He should have stick to ping pong.
He's making millions to put on soft matches that would go over like a wet fart in Japan. He's fine.
>>2895777
He's a cringelord that got expossed by weekly programming. He can't even speak English which certainly doesn't help his case.

true
Smackdown being fucking shit since wrestle mania
He was phoning it in for years at NJPW. He didn't hold the main title for the last 5 years of his tenure there and was forced to rehabilitate the IC belt. He coasted for most of his matches and only turned it on during big matches.
When he got to NXT, he actually tried in his first match, and has been riding that for a year now.
It's not that he is exposed as a lazy wrestler, he just bamboozled Vince. And he won't be buried since that would jeopardize the poaching of more NJPW guys.
