Is WWE planning another tournament?

[Roadster]

We noted after the recent WWE United Kingdom Title tournament that WWE officials were interested in holding similar tournaments for other regions of the world. Word now is that they are moving forward with a tournament to crown the first-ever WWE Asia Champion.

The company has contacted several talents in Asia to inquire about passport details and other information. To avoid confusion that we've seen in the UK wrestling scene, talents being contacted for the Asia tournament are being told outright that no outside bookings are allowed if signed in the United States, the UK or Japan.

Another sweet and sour move from WWE. On one hand it presents a completely new initiative that can only help WWE and it's product while also expanding and bringing in new fans, on the other hand, I'm not exactly so sure that Asia (excluding Japan) has much of a wrestling industry. Wrestling shows do big numbers when they go to these countries (even EVOLVE did 10,000 in China) but you have to wonder if that's because it's a commodity to see an American promotion come through, or if they actually are fans of what they're seeing?

What'd y'all think?

Asians have a Western culture fixation, they'll do very well there.

May have trouble getting their money out of there though.
