3. KENTA Has Wrestled Heavyweights On Numerous Occasions
There's a fear when a competitor who is well under say, 225 pounds - who made a name for themselves in matches versus similarly sized competitors - signs to WWE that they're going to have problems adjusting to WWE's notoriously big-man friendly ideal. However, KENTA, in wrestling Americans like Samoa Joe and Nigel McGuinness, as well as Japanese legends like Kenta Kobashi and Takeshi Morishima, has credibly wrestled against the best and demonstrates a clear understanding of how to make his size into less of a liability and more of an intriguing boon. It's entirely possible that KENTA's the first junior heavyweight since Rey Mysterio who is gifted at this most unique of skills desirable to smaller wrestlers wanting to succeed in World Wrestling Entertainment.
