Wait, John thought he should be a heel? Oh my god.
John Laurinaitis claims he pushed for WWE to sign Kenta Kobashi but it never worked out.
"[Kenta] Kobashi… That’s one I kept pushing for but, you know, it just didn’t work out... I think Kobashi could’ve adapted to the WWE and American style…I know that he could come in and be a very good heel. His work rate speaks for itself."
