Falcon Arrow

[edit]

Why is it that the falcon arrow's named as early 2000s, considering that it's one of his signature moves? NasDestiny 00:19, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was his finishing move in the early 2000s. There is currently discussion in the pro wrestling project to improve the moves list. When that gets implemented this problem goes away.

Innovated

[edit]

I have been meaning to say this for a while. I believe, and I think others may agree that, in order to innovate a move, one must create a maneuver that is NOT a combination or variant. For example, Jake Roberts innovating the DDT. The Busaiku Knee Kick is a high knee variant. I know the definition of "innovation" is "a new way of doing something", but I don't think the term applies in professional wrestling. --Oxico (talk) 21:46, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Twitter

[edit]

According to Dustin Rhodes, this is KENTA's official Twitter. https://twitter.com/#!/KENTANoMercy

Here's Rhodes announcement!

“@KENTANoMercy: @DUSTIN_RHODES1 I guess Twitter is stupid!”everyone follow this man..great wrestler"

Should it be added in here?

Also, Rikishi confirms that it is KENTA's official Twitter.

Name stylization

[edit]

Hi I've been going through articles related to KENTA and I find it very odd that his name is presented as KENTA in all the media he is in yet all articles refer to him as Kenta. I believe that that is incorrect and causes confusion in certain parts of articles when mentioning his mentor Kenta Kobashi and himself, which is what the stylized all capital letters version was made to correct bot locally in Japan and internationally. I feel that his name should be presented as KENTA when ever mentioned and would like to have others opinions and what wikipedia's guidelines are on how performer names are displayed in related articles. Brody's Ghost (talk) 21:08, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While I don't think it should be capitalzed every time in the article, it should be capitalized in the introduction and side chart as that refers to his ring name.2601:C1:401:4D0D:3175:B78E:8818:AA04 (talk) 04:54, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should be in all caps, but it keeps getting changed back, no matter what. Evalas618 (talk) 01:17, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kenta Kobayashi → Hideo Itami – Common name since late-2014; way more average google searches for "Hideo Itami" than "Kenta Kobayashi" since debuting in WWE. Sekyaw (talk) 05:13, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hideo Itami → Kenta Kobayashi – WP:COMMONNAME. His time in WWE as Itami is done now, and his time under the Kenta name far outweighs his time as Itami. Rusted AutoParts 06:13, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]


  • Support He was Hideo Itami for a fraction of his career, i.e. 5 years, a not insignificant portion of which he was injured. He was KENTA before WWE, he's KENTA now he's left WWE, he was well-known on the Indies before WWE, so it's not like "KENTA" is the name of some scrub who got famous being "Hideo Itami." SkylerLovefist (talk) 08:29, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per WP:NAMECHANGES and WP:COMMONNAME. The five years with WWE was spent in developmental and he suffered major injuries that sidelined him for large portions of those years. He was one of the biggest names in Japan and on the indies before WWE and is now a top player in NJPW after WWE under the Kenta name. Sources primarily refer to him as Kenta and not Itami. I would honestly probably prefer Kenta (wrestler), since the last name is not part of the COMMONNAME. StaticVapor message me! 18:23, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
