First off Ioved both incarnations of The Orient Express, and I would love to see a new version in todahs WWE.
I feel this could be a vehicle to get a Richie Steamboat over, and maybe even another Asain talent.
My idea would be to bring in Pat Tanaka and place him in Mr. Fuji's old role of Manager whom occassionLly wrestles.
Yoshi Tatsu can then fill the role of Tanaka, as the veteran martial arts experts whom wrestled barefoot, and to spice things up wears face paint.
Then Steamboat can sport a mask, and eventually be unmasked to reveal that he is the son of Ricky Steamboat. Im not really sure in this day and age that him wearing a mask will get over with the snarks, so purhaps a beard can do an effective job of getting him over as a heel.
What do you guys think?

I don't think there was enough demand for an OLD Orient Express and especially not enough demand for a NEW version.
Also, I hate every wrestler who ever wrestled barefoot. It's stupid, illogical and I hate it.

I hate these "New _____" suggestions. They're a a bad idea, they don't work & just come across as what they are: a poor imitation of the original. I'd much rather see an original idea for a team or group rather than a cheap knockoff of something from a lifetime ago.

We currently have the new Mr Perfect in Ziggler, the New Nation of Domination in the Prime Time Players, so why not a new Orient Express?

We also have a New Goldberg in Ryback, and a new Kurt Angel in Jack Swagger, so I don't see how wanting a new Orient Express is so terrible. Hell Michael Cole is the new Bobby Heenan, and Tyson Kidd has become a modern day version of 123 Kidd. Hunico is the new Konnan, and Sin Cara is the new Mysterio.

Okay, first of all the Prime Time Players are not like the Nation of Domination in any way.
Dolph Ziggler is not like Mr. Perfect at all. Yes, he bleaches his hair blonde like that, so he must be Mr. Perfect. Thus also making him Ric Flair, Butch Reed and Steve Corino too apparently.
These comparisons from the yesterday of wrestlers to now needs to stop!! It's getting a bit ridiculous.

It's an awful idea that doesn't work in todays environment.

your thinking to much into things, which leads me to believe you have nothing but time on your hands. What i suggest is go out and see the daylight and get some fresh air and think about what your saying.
Your idea is ok, but there will be no demand for new factions based on old factions.

Richie Steamboat and Yoshi would be a cool tag-team though.

Just look at the similarities. All American gimmick Stars and stripes on thier singlets Amature wrestling backgrounds The use of the angle slam The use of the ankle lock Both former World Champions. |

CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, while not similar in gimmicks/personalities to them, are the modern day Bret and HBK, two solid technical wrestlers who put on the best match of the night and make up for the garbage around them.

Santino Marella is the new Mankind because he uses a puppet for his finisher.
