It is hard to believe that the WWE has never had a major Japanese star in the prime of their career.  Sure, there have been many wrestlers from Japan who have competed for Vince, but none of them had the name value or skill set of Shinsuke Nakamura.

For well over a decade, the peers and fans of Samoa Joe clamored for the WWE to sign him, and why didn’t they earlier?

The WWE career of Kia Stevens was only one match (the Royal Rumble) where she eliminated two competitors.  As Kharma, the multi-time TNA Knockouts Champion looked to break the mold in the then named Diva’s division and before the “Woman’s Revolution” she looked to be the trailblazer.  It didn’t happen, but we would love to see her return for a few matches in the WWE, especially with the makeup of the current division.

After years of playing a stereotypical Asian characters in both WCW and the WWE, James Yang was repackaged as Jimmy Wang Yang; an Asian-American redneck, which was actually closer to his real life persona.  This would be the most memorable run of his career and while he barely reached the mid-card, he was recognized as a good in ring performer.  It is certainly possible that we could see him in the WWE again.
