Is it time for an asian world champ?

Although Khali didn't get a reign with the top belt and instead the lower World title. Wouldn't be surprised if the first real Asian champion comes from China more than Japan considering how huge of a market the WWE could generate if it was from China like how the NBA benefited huge from Yao Ming's presence in the NBA. Japan and the Samoan Islands produce great wrestlers but don't come close to the huge market China could bring in for the WWE if the champion was from there.

No shit. Cna you imagine the erection Vince would get if a Chinese Hoss that looked like Swagger walked in his door?

Would be a huge market to tap into.

Not sure why you guys are pulling the "THAT HAIR IS TOO TATSU"

If Tatsu got fired in 6 weeks people would forget him and not care about Tanahashis hair.

I think if he was somehow to show up, with a mouth piece, and challenge Punk for BEST IN THE WORLD it could be a pretty decent money draw for a PPV or two.

Obviously he would need to last awhile to get the title.

the problem with getting someone born and raised in China, Korea, Japan etc is getting them through the major language and cultural gap.
