WWE: Top 8 Japanese Wrestlers From The Past 30 Years

8. Kenzo Suzuki

Blink and you missed Kenzo Suzuki. Lasting a little more than a year on the main roster, Suzuki managed to win tag team gold €“ albeit with Rene Dupree, so you have to wonder what WWE writers were smoking in 2004. But once he engaged John Cena in a battle rap, then you knew they weren€™t just smoking something funny, they were huffing glue too. WWE had big plans for Suzuki and his wife, Hiroko, but the anti-American gimmick was dropped, which may or may not have been a good thing. On the one hand, it€™s such a cop-out to bring in a Japanese wrestler and play up their ethnicity first rather than their abilities, but then again, a feud with Billy Gunn and pairing with Rene Dupree wasn€™t exactly a major step up the card. Suzuki was lost in the shuffle during the 2005 WWE draft lottery and released. He€™s remained active, wrestling in Mexico first and now for All Japan.
