2015 WWE Draft

20) Hideo Itami – NXT WrestleMania Axxess Tournament Winner

Hideo Itami is very talented and has improved with the American style of wrestling over the past seven months. Being chosen by WWE to go to the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal signals that they do see something in him.

However, with WWE’s history of handling Japanese Superstars, Itami drops very far down this list. Most of them were treated very well upon arrival, but would quickly become jobbers for “better” talent. One has to fear that the former KENTA suffers the same fate. Seeing him get thrown out of the ATGMBR, while may be overreaction, was a bad sign.
