According to 1wrestling, through 411, the WWE has signed Ryan "Keiji" Sakoda and Jimmy Yang, with the intent to use them in a "Japanese Mafia" gimmick. It's a pity they didn't save Gail Kim to play Gogo.

They have a perfectly good stereotypical mafia group in the FBI, goddammit, and they're not using them either.

Wait, are you saying they should have waited to debut Jamie Knoble as a member of the team instead? They could have given him a mask and...

Nevermind... :)

Presumably this stable would involve Tajiri, Funaki and (I guess) Ultimo Dragon as well, right?

Which makes it all cruiserweights, and thus pretty much they won't be treated as anything anything more than Kaientai v. 2.0

I'm sure this Japanese Mafia gimmick will make a huge splash over on Velocity.

And Rene Dupree's Canadian. What's your point?

If Jamie Knoble and Paul Diamond can be Japanese, then Gail Kim certainly can be.

I'm sure the answer from Stamford would involve the words "all look alike."

Jimmy Yang isn't Japanese either. I believe he's Chinese.

Either way, I think the idea sounds cool. I'm not sure how Keiji's mic skills are, but they could use a good manager as a mouth piece. Sonny Ono maybe? I fear this might just became a Japanese version of the FBI though (booking wise).

They'd probably be better off trading the FBI to RAW and putting this group on Smackdown. We can have Keiji, Yang, and possibly Tajiri go up against Funaki, Ultimo, and Noble (since he's not really up to much).

That'd be cool too if they got the rights to use "Battle without Honor or Humanity" (the song in all the Kill Bill promos) for their entrance, but i'm sure they'll just end up making an original theme that sorta sounds like it.

And have they ever mentioned on RAW that Gail is Korean? They always just say she's Canadian and/or Asian. They could just throw together some backstory, maybe make her part Japanese much like Lucy Liu's Kill Bill character.

This could either be totally awesome or really cheesy. Sadly, i'm thinking the latter. If they made them pure badasses, had them bust out some light strong style stuff and just make them violently ruthless, they could get over. But again, i'm fearing it'll end up like another "choppy-choppy pee-pee".

Why move FBI to RAW when this can lead to a perfect Italian vs. Japanese mafia feud on smackdown?

Well you know something, Mean Gene...
Forget Kill Bill, if the Japanese Mafia feud with the FBI, then Vince has been watching his Simpsons episodes.

During Gail's title run, Jim Ross said she was Korean. That was the only mention.

Would this mean Gail Kim trading in her Matrix leather for a Japanese school girl outfit?

Then, I'm all for it. :>

That would take away the awesome idea of giving her the title the in her first match. That always works, ask Jerry Lynn... Gail Kim in that group would have been like a thousand times better then what they did with her, no surprise they didn't LoL

It's specious reasoning to assume that they had this idea when Gail debuted four months ago and neglected to use her for it. They chose a path to use upon her debut, and it didn't work out. It has absolutely no relation to this current gimmick possibility.

Although the Yakuza thing should be AWESOME. They're apparently scheduled to appear in some capacity at the pay-per-view tonight. Is it too much to ask for a run-in during the cruiserweight match? A Yakuza Vs. Noble/Rey/Ultimo feud is fine with me...

Ha! Just have Yang standing on the outside of the ring for most of the match doing nothing but stand there, because you know at some point, he is going to do something awesome.

My God, can you imagine Taz selling that to Cole? Every once in a while they'd get a close up of hm just standing there, and Taz would yell at Cole to shut up for else they might miss it. That may very well be the greatest match never to be seen on Smackdown...
