10 Reasons To Believe WWE Will Ruin KENTA
With WWE's track record with international stars, could we really predict anything else?
WWE.comKenta Kobayashi, known professionally as KENTA, is one of the worlds most talented performers. For the past decade, he has wowed fans in Japan, and across the world. His matches tell amazing stories that cross the language barrier. His title haul in Pro Wrestling NOAH is unprecedented, holding singles and tag team championships at both heavyweight and junior heavyweight level, despite only weighing 180 lbs. His match quality is second to none, and I can say that one of the greatest matches that I have ever commentated on live was a tag team match that featured KENTA on one side and Bryan Danielson on the other (thinking about it, it was never going to be bad, was it?). But now, Kobayashi is taking a very bold step. He is leaving his native Japan, and is heading over to the United States to become a WWE wrestler. The news was finally confirmed today at a live WWE event in Osaka, Japan with Kenta unveiled with Hulk Hogan's seal of approval! It was explicitly said he was signing a WWE contract to join the NXT brand and not the main WWE roster. Its a huge deal in Japan: on an isolated island, the prospect of seeing one of their native sons potentially become a global star is something that the Japanese press, both sporting and mainstream, have been talking about excitedly. However, history is not on his side. This article will show you ten crucial factors which point to his WWE career not being the success that he would like it to be.
