I mean, he was Professor Tanaka in the WWF. Maybe Dawson slipped and they just kept it.
Professor Toru Tanaka (born Charles Kalani).

The Trump comparisons with Dawkins' character are tempting but then he is intelligent and has self-control.

I mean, he already used "I'll be back" right before going down the chute. But yeah, all the lead-up to "ram it into your goddamn spine" could've been cut.

Amber walking away to distract Fireball turned out to be a solid move, but you have to question why she doesn't hang as close as possible to Richards.
