WWE Superstar Yoshi Tatsu Not Happy with His Spot and Other Happenings?

[AKI Man]

- A series of blogs credited to WWE Superstar Yoshi Tatsu were published earlier this week on a Sportsnavi.com website. The blogs appear in Japanese but a rough translation to English makes it sound like Tatsu is unhappy with some things in WWE.

Tatsu referenced the 2011 earthquake in Japan that was such a tragedy. Tatsu apparently wanted to raise the Japanese flag in support as he competed in the WrestleMania 27 pre-show battle royal but was not allowed by company officials. Yoshi also wanted to travel with WWE to Japan to help earthquake victims but was not allowed to because it was a RAW tour and he was on the SmackDown roster.

The series of blogs is titled "10 Issues" and that apparently refers to Tatsu's gripes with his position in the company and other topics he had to get off his chest. The translation is very rough but Tatsu also talks about not being happy with his spot in WWE but says he is not critical of them, he just needed to get some things off his chest.

The blog is linked on the main page of the official WWE Japan website so it appears to be legit. The blogs were published on July 27th but Tatsu has not commented on them or referenced them through his Twitter page.[/quote]

Wait a moment. Tragedy or not, why wouldn't you send your main Japanese wrestler when touring Japan?

It is like not sending Regal and Barrett to England. McIntyre to Scotland. Sheamus to Ireland. Los Colons to Puerto Rico. Gabriel and Kingston to Africa. Khali and Mahal to india.

The issue is a little different for Americans and Canadians as there so many tours within those two countries, and most roster members are from either. But surely you would send the national heroes too if you were touring their home country?

What a bunch of assholes in the WWE. I support Tatsu and have been supporting him since ECW (where I was already pissed with his debut angle, as I found Benjamin's promo sort of offensive).

This is especially offensive considering that we have so much "USA love" but when a wrestler from another heritage wants to support his country he can't. It's no secret I have a deep love for Japan since I was a kid and my fiancee is of 100% japanese blood so yeah, I find it of bad taste to not allow him to support his country especially in times of tragedy like the earthquake was. It was terrible and only those who were somehow affected or directly affected know (thankfully nothing happened to my fiancee's brother and other family members that live there). If that happened in the USA, the WWE wouldn't even think twice of supporting their country. I'm no proud of my country, actually, but I reckon that we ALL are human beings and live in the same world. There shouldn't be issues between countries and cultures. We all need to respect each other and our differences. That's the only way to move the world forward.
