10 Wrestlers Who Should Have REAL Beef With WWE Right Now
3. Akira Tozawa
WWE has always had trouble with its international talents, as wrestling is a business built upon stereotypes. Thanks to that, wrestlers who resides from outside of the United STates tends to be presented in a cartoonish manner. However, recent trends and a generally progressive zeitgeist has forced WWE to re-evaluate the way it handles the presentation of its international employee's, and for the most part, they have changed for the better.
For those exact reasons, Akira Tozawa should have major beef with the company right now, as they seem to have forgotten about this new approach with him and have saddled the talented performer with an inappropriate ninja gimmick. This is already bad enough, but his placement on the card is firmly within the 24/7 Championship territory, meaning that the gimmick is reduced to being a literal joke.
The multi-billion dollar company really should know better than to be so crude and unsubtle. While Tozawa is a former Cruiserweight Champion and a great performer, his career with WWE has been very poor, with this latest presentation coming as one of the worst gimmicks in wrestling today.
