10 Most Boring Wrestlers Of 2021
7. Akira Tozawa
Rinse and repeat for supposed ninja Akira Tozawa.
Anyone who watched WWE's last attempt to properly-package Cruiserweight wrestling via segments on Raw and 205 Live would've seen Tozawa doing his able best. In-ring, he's a solid flyer, and his stiff strikes do make for fun matches in the moment.
WWE don't give a toss about all that though. McMahon wants larger-than-life characters, which is fine. That turned Akira into a walking stereotype (the ninja gimmick) though, which isn't. This might've raised a titter or two amongst casual fans for the first few weeks, but he's still doing this routine over and over and over without change.
Like R-Truth, Tozawa mainly pursued the 24/7 Title in 2021. Their over-the-top hijinks in skits with Reggie got old in a hurry, and yet WWE's scriptwriters kept on sticking them on Raw every damn Monday. It's beyond stale, and the same could be said for Akira's current character.
