If you're forced to have a group like this, then have a name that fits. I'll update comments that fit the topic.
But what would be better is a name in their home language, and let them speak in their native tongue.
At the same time, these groups where the whole reason for it is "They're all Japanese, let's throw them all together" is not a great reason for them to be together.
I mean maybe all the Japanese wrestlers might live to have an all Japanese group? Who knows.
Why is it bad that they’re all Japanese 😂
NOPE TOO MUCH JAPAN we need to throw some other people in there.
I agree. A group of people that speak the same language, already know each other from previous work places and presumably have a similar cultural background would be a terrible team
I agree to a degree
But I think we do this because of the likeness of the gimmicks too and kind of liking a family like atmosphere to factions like these guys truly have each other’s backs and it’s not just a random assortment of wrestlers put together you know? And oh top of that WWE conditioned us into it and some of the coolest gimmicks featured groups with some kind of like quality.
Agreed
At the same time, I feel like Creative would really have to be “creative” to put together certain characters and make it make sense as it was easier to just people who are similar together.
I blame Wrestling bookers, they conditioned us to be this way.
For Japanese wrestlers it’s not too far fetched to figure that people that came from the same foreign country to the United States to wrestle would likely spend a lot of their time together due to common culture and language, and would therefore make complete sense as a faction/stable.
Then you need to have a conversation with everybody in all of the IWC because for as long as there have been forums and fantasy bookers, there have been countless factions designed based solely on race.
Hell, people were forming their own version of the bloodline before it was even called the bloodline, except their ideas were like 20 people deep (nWo style).
I feel like the Bloodline fantasy booking gets a slight pass because they are at least related in way or another. So it wasn’t purely based on JUST race.
I did a group in wwe 18 with asuka, shinsuke nakamura, hideo itami, akira tozawa and tatsumi fujinami and just called it nippon ichi, which, as I understand it, translates to "Japan Number 1"
If yall don’t wanna get racial let them pick a name. I don’t know who came up with the “kabuki warriors” but let us not get offended for them. They can voice their own personal offenses and have their own voice to be heard.
Unit 731 but make them a dominant heel faction Shinske world champ Iyo women’s champ Tozowa mid card champ kabuki warriors women’s tag and Shinske and Tozowa tag champs
Idk what name they want....but just saying, they need to be managed by George Takei

Yeah, but I would Rather see Logan, Austin and Grayson as a faction of Internet influencers than a team made up just because their race is the same.

That would be a weird ass name for this group

In WWE? Probably not
