>>8814101Still can't get over the fact that Takeshita doesn't have good enough friends or enough self-preservation to tell him his name sounds funny to American audiences. Didn't anyone even suggest he should have picked up a ring name?
"Konosuke the lightning", "Konosuke Takeshi", "Rowboat Willie", "Kawasaki Suzuki Hiroshima", "Kono Mashya". There's all kinds of cool variation possibilities if not downright picking up a new one.
Yeah, it might be his real name and he should be proud of it outside the work but a wrestling personality is like putting on a suit for an office job.
"Gonna-suck Take-a-shit vs The Rock", it doesn't pass the marquee test. That boy ain't right.
