Hiroko Suzuki Says She Was Planned To Wrestle Michelle McCool

Hiroko Suzuki had a brief stint with WWE in 2004 to 2005. She was more of a valet to her real life husband Kenzo Suzuki over participating in the ring.

A feud did happen for Hiroko though which had her work two matches (one was a six person intergender match) with now-WWE Hall of Famer Torrie Wilson. However, she was also supposed to be in the ring with former WWE Women’s and Divas Champion Michelle McCool.

In an interview with Ring the Belle, Hiroko stated that she “kind of” wanted to do more in the ring. This is where she stated she was supposed to wrestle McCool.

“Yes. Michelle is a very kind girl. We are very close and we talk a lot. Michelle is also close to Torrie. That’s why we talked together.”



Hiroko also mentioned she would be open to appear in a Royal Rumble match. She states –

“I want to do that. Yeah, I want to do that. It’s a lot of fun. I forget that emotion. Jimmy (Wang Yang) (referring to her return to the ring in August at SHW RumbleJack) called me and asked, ‘Hiroko (can you) do this?’ I said, ‘I can’t do that. I’m old and forget everything.’ Once I showed up and entered the ring, it was so wonderful. I love it.”
