WWE interested in top Japan talent because of William Regal

[Crayo]

WWE officials are reportedly very interested in bringing current New Japan Pro Wrestling star Prince Devitt, who may or may not be contracted to the promotion.

The story goes that Adrian Neville (the former Pac) was signed by WWE because William Regal brought a tape of Neville vs. Devitt to Triple H. This led to WWE going right after Pac.

The interest in Devitt continues. His name keeps coming up within WWE in regards to names who they would like to reach out to.

Great talent not sure how far he would go in the company.

Devitt in the WWE would be fapworthy. And is Meltzer doubting if Devitt is under contract with NJPW? Dude is living full time in Japan and is the next big villain the company. He's not on a pay by pay deal I think.

Still. Good scouting. Devitt is great.

Isn't it common knowledge gajins are very rarely under contract? If so I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't. Unsure of how he'd go over in the big e sadly

Wow he is pretty damn good. That bicycle kick at 2:42 impressed me big time. I don't know how the WWE is on copying move sets, but I saw Darren's Gut Buster plenty (that worked into the double team move looks good), D-Bry's top rope dropkick, Cesaro's gut stomp, and Fandango's fancy kicks from outside the ring. Of course, maybe they just got those from watching this guy?

Yeah Gaijins are rarely under contract now that you mention it. But with the current push Devitt is getting I'd assume they have him locked up for a while since he is basically top villain.

Have seen some stuff from him in the ring, seems like a good talent.
