10 Forgotten WWE Managers You Totally Don't Remember

Kenzo Suzuki is another worker Bruce Prichard has mentioned on his pod, but the WWE higher up went in two-footed on him for failing to connect with fans. In fairness to Bruce, Kenzo was a failed experiment and never seemed like a neat fit for the product when he debuted in 2004. The same could be said for his wife, Hiroko.

Together, the couple tried to get heat by having Hiroko cut brief promos lambasting fans for not cheering loud enough during Suzuki's matches. It was basic stuff, but people didn't give Kenzo the reactions WWE were looking for. So, they stuck him in a heel team with Rene Dupree and Hiroko began managing him too.

The writing was on the wall.

One year after debuting in June 2004, Kenzo and Hiroko were released from their contracts. They'd actually been moved to Raw in the 2005 Draft, but wouldn't appear on the flagship before being let go. It was a mercy killing for the gimmick, being totally honest.
