T4a. Would Kenta Kobashi or someone similar to him do well in the wwe?

Question

Or would he be given a jobber role for not being the right "look"?

Answer 1

The only foreigners that WWE will support are the extremely bad steroetypes like Santino or Russians or Punjabi or Persians who can't talk or wrestle....

There is maybe 2 people in the whole company that would be willing to work a stiff match.

Answer 2

he would be a jobber due to him not having the right look.

wwe has screwed many wrestlers who actually could wrestle just because they didn't have the look.

prime example many people said nick dinsmore aka eugene was one of wwe's best "wrestlers" but was dealt a stupid gimmick.

Answer 3

Probably A Jobber Role.

I Would Like To See Jun Kasai In The WWE.

Answer 4

Probably a jobber role, unless you get a really special one. The problem is that guys like Kenta Kobashi are limited in the ring if they went to the WWE, where they shine. Could you imagine a Misawa or a Kobashi trying to wrestle the WWE style match? I'm sure they'd do well, but their ring work would leave a lot to be desired once they're forced to wrestle four minute openers.

Far better off in Japan.

Answer 5

No, he would be a mid card star at the highest in the E. Not doing great WWE promos and not being able to sell t-shirts to million and million of little superhero lovin' fans would derail any chance and the fact that he likes to strong-style wrestle would aslo hurt him. The agents would be complaining that he worked too stiff with the younger wrestlers and he would always be in the doghouse. Eventually they would turn him into a fun American-loving rapper or a Japanesse man who wants to make it in pop music.  He might end up getting a tag title with Festus in the process (assuming WWE's first choice of partner for him, the Miz, would be injuried) to make a babyface fun team,before they release him saying they could not find anything for his character and because fans were chanting boring during his matches. Its a shame, but that would probably happen to him, Misawa, Kawada or the other great Puro wrestlers.

Answer 6

Glorified jobber.

If Kenta Kobashi came with the reputation he has now, he'd probably mid-card for a while and then be depushed. I see Kenta Kobashi jobbing to a lot of wrestlers in the WWE, even though he is better than most, if not all, of them. With his lack of a "gimmick" and stiff wrestling style, I doubt he'd get a lot of fans in WWE.

Answer 7

He would only do well if the WWE ever hopes to successfully expand into Japan. He definitely will never get a World Heavyweight title run of WWE title run. ECW would be more expected. Other than that, it's to job to up and comers from FCW.
