10 WWE Questions That Remain Unanswered

5. What Happened To Hirohito?

Like Hade Vansen, the little-known story of Horohito is one of a man who was hell-bent on avenging sinners (or, in this case, American imperialists) for all of about five minutes, before having a sudden change of heart and never appearing again.

Actually, Hirohito didn't appear even once - all we got was a solitary Monday Night Raw promo in 2004, replete with grainy World War Two footage, in which it was stated that he would be returning shortly to exact revenge for the events of sixty years earlier.

WWE apparently realised that his near-the-knuckle gimmick might be cause for offence, and stopped it dead in its tracks (probably a wise move too). Kenzo Suzuki - who was originally supposed to depict Hirohito - instead debuted on SmackDown later in the year, without any of the war references.
