Is suggesting that Akira Tozawa's had a good year giving WWE a pass for one of the stupidest ideas - and think of the ground that covers - in company history? Probably.

The electrifying pro wrestler is a ninja now, because he's Japanese and that's how the stupid ancient white men book. He's also running around fighting for the 24/7 Championship constantly. These things keep him on television, but at what cost?
