This is a mistake!!!!!!!!!! Domestic groups will copy the formula and launch a smear campaign against WWE. It would be much more profitable to give local talent a script.

Nah,I would take them on. Yes, they are athletic but not real fighters, same as the guys.
Check YouTube on how the fights and moves are done, than try to go back and enjoy it again. Once you seen those videos you will know much is acted and scripted.
They got my respect they are doing a tough job and face many possible injuries but in the end it is all acting(including the fights).

I sincerely hope they fail. Japan doesn't need more theatrics than Hustle. I don't know when they stopped appreciating the old Japanese UWF - Akira Maeda would always be better than Hulk Hogan and could prove it in the ring, too.

WWE has a strong following in Japan.
But real Japanese wrestling fans still appreciate puroresu style.
