WWE Meets New Japan

During his visit to the United States, President of New Japan Pro Wrestling Antonio Inoki stopped by WWE World Headquarters in Stamford, Conn. to meet with Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.

During the brief, cordial meeting, both sides discussed possible business ventures in the future between WWE and New Japan Pro Wrestling - the largest wrestling promotion in Japan.

Check back with WWE.com as more details on New Japan and WWE become available.

I Hope there just doing some kind of deal to bring in Lyger or some of the CTU, I don't see alot of reasoning behinde this. Then again its the WWE who used Akibono for a sumo wrestling match =\

Lyger is a NJPW guy, Im some what suprised that WWE is even talking to New Japan cause if I remember has alot of strong Ties to TNA (one of there belts is even a NWA ranked belt). but I really don't see what other reason does WWE have in talking to NJPW then to do some kind of roster swap, or to buy them out. Since Simon Inoki has had problems and Yukes has been open about shopping around.

I would love to see Jushin Liger (please get his name right people) in WWE, but I doubt it will happen. Remember WWE's talks with K1? Those went nowhere as well.

Well back in the day Vince supported NJPW. During the Japan wrestling war between Baba (RIP)'s All Japan Pro Wrestling and Inoki's New Japan Pro Wrestling. So the meeting doesn't come as a shock to me. I won't be surprised if they work something out.
