I find it odd that people are writing him off simply because Nakamura is there. Can't be two guys from Japan in NXT? I'm confused by the logic. I don't think it's that there can't be two Japanese guys in NXT. Seems like with all the recent call-ups, NXT would need all the talent they can get. The only thing that worries me is that Shinsuke is the hottest thing in NXT, so Hideo may be out-shined when he returns... When rumors were swirling about Kenta making his way to WWE/NXT, it was the most exciting thing going in NXT. (At least for a week or two, before Finn debuted and tagged with Hideo, outshining him at every turn and bypassing him to gain the NXT title). I am excited to see Hideo again, but I just can't see the hype being as big as it was when "Kenta" was first debuting. Just comparing Shinsuke to Finn in terms of starpower and hype, it just seems with the injury to Hideo, it will be even harder than it was when he debuted to gain footing/hype. All that being said tho, I am pushing for the guy, and hope to see some great matches from him in the future.

Isn't it weird to think that, had he not been injured, it would have been Itami winning the belt in Tokyo? Finn still would have beaten him for it and neither man would have broken Neville's record and Itami would likely be on the main roster now. Hell, he appeared in the ATGMB at WM31, he might well have been in the IC ladder match this year.

He publicly states on Twitter that he wants to be NXT champ. Dude isn't going anywhere. Remember when Gail Kim came back and they immediately fired the other Asian girl?

I had totally forgotten about him until seeing this thread.

I've been wondering this myself lately and honestly to me this can go 2 ways with Itami. He can either return with something of a reaction and get fast tracked to the main roster (hopefully) or stick around NXT and MAYBE do something of note. I just really feel like many have almost forgotten about him sadly.

Only way I remembered him was because of his basic 56 figure. Other than that, I would've completely forgot about him.
Not sure what happens if/when he returns. Who knows how many people in the crowd will even remember him.

This is the same guy that was introduced to the company by ing Hulk Hogan. This is also the same guy that was going to be in Finns spot heading into Beast in the East...... He'll be fine. None of Triple H's boys have gotten the shaft yet and I see Hideo being no different. If anything a Hideo/Nakamura feud is money waiting to be made in NXT.
