It was just announced this morning by Pro Wrestling NOAH that Kenta Kobayashi (known to fans as KENTA) has resigned from the promotion and will be wrestling his last shows there on May 3rd and May 17th.
The Wrestling Observer newsletter first reported in January that KENTA had spent some time in the WWE Performance Center and that led to speculation by some that he might be signing with WWE. Well, apparently he impressed some people there. Naturally this resignation will lead to more speculation that he will sign with WWE. KENTA noted at the time in a blog post that executives were present at his workout at the Performance Center so he believes he may have made an impression with them. He also expressed a desire to work with WWE at some point in his career.

I would mark for sure if he appeared, but he would have to be toned way down, and I can't see that happen.

I love KENTA but I'm don't see this happening. Too risky that he'd become Yoshi Tatsu.

I know WHO Kenta is. I know Punk took the GTS from him. That's about the extent of what I know.

He is absolutely incredible in the ring. I'd love to see him sign.

It would be awesome to see KENTA in WWE, I just hope he doesn't turn into a Yoshi Tatsu or Sin Cara or something.
But how cool would it be to see Bryan vs. KENTA in WWE?

I love KENTA but I'm don't see this happening. Too risky that he'd become Yoshi Tatsu. If, and I still see it as a big if, he were to come to WWE, I doubt he'd become like Yoshi Tatsu. At this point, KENTA is a big name in Japanese wrestling. He could be like Rey is for the Hispanic audience, or like Khali was for them in India (yeah he sucks, but he's a big star back in his country), so I could actually see them utilizing him better. The big problem, as has been mentioned, would be toning down his style for the WWE rings. |

The problem is his style is so different from what WWE does. He'd have to completely change the way he wrestles, and change his moveset pretty drastically. If it were to happen, I don't really see how this works in his favor.

KENTA is one guy I think would have no problem adapting to the WWE style.

Any videos of him that really show his style in the ring?

WWE wouldn't know how to use him and he would just be lost in the mid-card level.

KENTA has been rumoured for a while now. Great talent, and I'd definitely love to see him in a WWE ring.

He'll be main eventing SuperStars in a feud with Yoshi Tatsu in less then 6 months.

Any videos of him that really show his style in the ring? He's had some awesome matches with Low Ki and "Daniel" Bryan Danielson, as well as the GHC championship match against Takeshi Morishima. You can go from there. |

KENTA vs Seth Rollins. Book It. NOW. It happened in ROH, it's on this Tyler Black comp. It was a pretty good match. IF he didn't have a leash put on him, he'd absolutely destroy everyone. With that being said, I'd love to see him on TV weekly, but I would expected to see a WWE, watered-down version. I guess this is another step into the grave for NOAH. |
