Yeah. I'm seriously shocked that they let someone keep his OVW (or non-WWE) gimmick.

Everything heard on internet C-level sites HAS to be true

I am suprised WWE didnt make him that gangster that he was when he came out with Cena at WM 22.

It probably was true.
Remember, WWE changes its mind ocne in a while. Sometimes dozens of times before the final verdict is in. We even see it on TV sometimes. Anyone remember Kevin Fertig? They were so high on him as Mordecai, then dropped him for how long?
Of course, it could be bullshit, but I seem to remember Meltzer was one of the people who reported this, and he's hardly C-List. I might be remembering wrong, but I'll let someone correct me if I am.

30 second intro promo on ECW. Check the "best 30 sconds in ECW" thread for a youtube link.

Yeah I remember vignettes of Hirohoto debuting on RAW but then they decided just to keep calling him Kenzo Susuki and sent him to Smackdown.

The deaf gimmick would be gold though. They could even tie it into a UFC spoof making fun of their Deaf Fighter.
