Kushida

The problem with KUSHIDA is that he has zero charisma, his gimmick is ridiculous but he somehow makes showing up to the arena in a DeLorean dressed as Marty McFly or blowing up a child seem so mundane. Fantastic bell to bell guy but it's very hard to get interested in him as a character and I think that's why New Japan wouldn't move him up to heavy, he doesn't have the big personality to compensate for his size.

Seems like he wanted to try his luck elsewhere because they wouldn't let him move up and WWE currently want to sign every wrestler in existence (except Chuck Taylor) seemingly just so nobody else can have them. Maybe he will find a character than works for him while at the PC, his English is apparently a lot better than Nakamura's but with him not being much of a promo guy in Japanese I'm not sure what that's worth.
