>>8543747Is a non-English speaking wrestler ever be the top guy, I don't think that can happen. You want your top guy to be the face and do PR
But 90% of the roster are not top guys, I recently watched WCW Starrcade 92 and Muta was the second most over guy on the show. Was he Sting? Of course not, but he was certainly more interesting than the parade of American vanilla babyface that was in WCW at the time.
There got to be something that stands out, more than wrestling, Muta, Great Kabuki and even Asuka have a look or charisma that is different, I don't think they will be top of the division but they can be useful. The deal is they have to be distinct and stand out and not be part of a dozen Asians who gimmick is "I can wrestle good"
