I'd like to see Ted DiBiase get fed up with Maryse being a distraction and decide to go the other direction for a manager: Enter Kong.
I know she can wrestle, but I feel she'd be a better fit in a managerial role in WWE. There's more shelf life in her being a bodyguard than her destroying all of the divas before eventually losing and becoming insignificant. |

I think maybe she'll keep the Awesome Kong name.
I'm just purely speculating though due to the WWE's Facebook having a list of people associated with the WWE that were "trending" on Twitter and mentioning her by the name of Awesome Kong in the list. |

From PWinsider:
AWESOME KONG'S WWE PERSONA AND RING NAME WILL BE... Kharma. WWE filed a trademark on the name on 4/12. --- I like it, really. It makes sense, and doesn't sound bad at all. |

So the next thing on the list will be a catchphrase how about.. Random jobbers squash match.. Kharma gets on the mic and says.. "Kharma's a bitch!" or "Ain't Kharma a bitch!"

I'm sure they'll run a whole storyline where she's called a bitch.

Just for shock value I think you could well be right! If she's going to to the anti-diva thing I think they will really push it in terms of what Kong is allowed to do and say to help her get over.
Although I really don't beleive she will need much help at all just book her like Samoa Joe in his prime and let her work her way through the divas. Eventually I would have her make a surprise challenge against a cocky IC champ at a big pay per view and win the IC championship. That's just me though! I would never have her at main event level but I don't think it would hurt to give her a short run with the IC championship. |

First Kong match I saw. People really like this chick. I think her run is going to be incredible. Not mediocre, actually incredible. |

I still think she should've been brought in as part of The Miz' entourage. "Awesome Kong" just fits right in there, and she could've easily been the Chyna to Miz' Triple H.
I wonder if they'll eventually give her a decent run in the male division as well. She's going to kill all of the Divas (if they don't make her a comedy face character which for the love of God they'd better not) and eventually she should be able to show what she can do against the men. She's a far better wrestler than Chyna ever was and Chyna is a former Intercontinental Champion for Christ's sake. |

I was actually just thinking about that, and why they didn't try to grab her name as an excuse to make some other stupid jumbled theme.
I think we need to be careful about wanting to see her compete against the men. They have a tough enough time with their men as it is. You don't need Kong coming in there and feuding with CM Punk or something and having Mark Henry rescue her. |

I know this would never happen because WWE acts like they never had Joanie Laurer but imagine if she tried to come back and square off against Kong like "No bitch, you're the 10th Wonder of the World, I'm the 9th!" or something like that.

They're calling her Kharma!? What the fuck WWE. I guess you have to trademark your shit, but Awesome/Amazing Kong > Kharma.

To be honest, I prefer the name Kharma.
I've never liked the name Awesome Kong or Amazing Kong, it sounds stupid. It sounds like her gimmick is that of a relation to Donkey Kong. I've never seen any of her matches but whenever I heard or read about her and the Kong name was said/read, I just couldn't take her seriously. Especially knowing that in TNA she was billed as being from Japan.

Why Japan though?
She's quite obviously not Japanese. I've never seen a big black Japanese woman in my life. ![]() It's like claiming that Sheamus is from Chad or Nigeria. |

Yeah, you get white South African's.
I have a white South African friend, but try selling a pale ginger Irishman as being from the heart of Africa. ![]() Basically, what I'm saying is that I just don't buy her as being Japanese. Her accent is also another thing. If she were to talk, the last place you'd assume her to be from is Japan. ![]() It's just pretty random stuff. |

Kong has and I always put that down to the whole "King Kong" or Godzilla like monster that she is - larger than life etc.
However I also thought it had to do with her being trained and working in Japan long enough for her to become a citizen of Japan. I never really thought of Kong as being Japanese. It's much like Kofi Kingston being from Ghana rather than Jamaica or Chris Benoit being from Atlanta, Georgia instead of Edmonton or Montreal, Quebec. |

Is the doll in the 2nd vignette different? Seems racist (think Laycool) to me.

You could be right it could be Laycool that could be Kong's first target perhaps? It would make sense given they have trouble in paradise at the moment. Or may just mean she's coming for the divas in general. I am really not sure but I will have my popcorn ready that's for sure.. |

Kharma is quite a good name. "Kharma kills bitches dead!" works just fine.
I'm genuinely excited about her coming into the WWE. She could be a genuine attraction for the WWE. Proof that a woman doesn't need to be a Barbie doll to make it, and that seems to be the whole point to her. A psychotic, angry woman pissed off by all these "Divas" around her. The anti-Diva thing is the perfect way to introduce her. I can't see her with the Divas Title, though, that's the only thing. I'd absolutely mark out if she won the butterfly belt, threw it down and declared herself the "WWE Women's Champion." |

Lock Jaw, I think that would be the next step. At first, Kharma defines herself as a "woman" and not a "Diva." But then she questions why women can't do what the men do.

With Kong coming out, WWE has to play their hand carefully. Have the Divas have to pull HUGE moves in order to beat her. Make her a dominant force, but beatable if circumstances were right.
Example: Have Kong beat everyone and be undefeated and get the Diva's title. Then have her lose it MONTHS later (after being a fighting champion at PPVs) in a triple threat match in which she didn't get pinned. Then have her complain that she didn't get pinned, so therefore she needs to get a rematch. They give the match to another chick at the PPV which Kong runs in and beats up either one or both of them after the match. This will setup Kong for another Title match which she will win. BAM!! Two title runs in about 5-6 months. Heck perhaps a year if you keep her as champ until a Wrestlemania and build it that she's can't pin ONE diva. Know the conflict within before facing the conflict without.... Duke L'Orange: TPWW's resident Archer fan!!! Embrace the deception; you'll enjoy professional wrestling better!!!

I like this idea too. If I read this first I might not have thrown my idea in. Does she have any mic talent? If not she might just be silent. and protect Cody Rhodes because he's higher on the Mid-Card. Dibiase isn't really doing anything. |

She'd work well with Cody too, but I feel Ted would benefit from her more. Cody's doing just fine on his own while Ted could use a shot in the arm.
