News From WWE's Recent Tour of Japan

As previously reported, former Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis was on the WWE tour of Japan.  Laurinaitis was the one that ran the tour. Laurinaitis is one of the agents with the most experience working in Japan, along with Dean Malenko, but Malenko was not on the tour. Paul Heyman helped Laurinaitis with some of the booking on the tour.


Some WWE talents were allowed to wrestle a more Japanese style during the events in Tokyo and Osaka. For example, one of the Cesaro vs. Kofi Kingston matches was said to be laid out similar to a classic bout between Riki Choshu vs. Shinya Hashimoto. Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn, who have previous experience working in Japan, were allowed to present Japanese style bouts. Finally, while working with Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose was allowed to work like Terry Funk (which he asked permission to do) and worked trademark Terry Funk babyface spots into his matches with Rollins.

Opinionated View- Not happy that moron Johnny Ace has any influence still. But I am happy to hear they opened up the style a little bit. A big issue i have with WWE is so much of it is the same basic and often boring WWE Style. Let the guy that can really go show off a little bit help guys change it up.
