6. Anime Geek/Wrestling Weeaboo

Anime is awesome, and plenty of wrestlers seem to agree. Zelina Vega is essentially a walking Naruto advertisement. Ricochet has a brand of sacrifice from Berserk tattooed on his arm. The New Day even entered the stage at WrestleMania sporting Dragon Ball Z inspired attire. So, why not take that a step further and create a whole character out of it?

Seeing a wrestling Weeaboo (someone obsessed with Japanese culture, especially anime) would be pretty funny, although certainly lacking subtlety. They could even have a host of anime-inspired moves. WWE already has experience with this, as Brennan Williams (Mace on the main roster) even had a signature move called the Nico Nico Knee. All the elements are falling together.

They'd probably come out to every PPV wearing a different uniform or costume from some popular anime, and, well, that actually sounds really cool. Even so, you have to believe that WWE would make them the butt of the joke, rather than just someone with confidence in their interests.

Because, how can you have any weird hobbies outside of people fighting in tight spandex?
