 Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter John Laurinaitis worked as the producer and head agent for WWE's recent tour of Tokyo, including the "Beast In The East" WWE Network special. Laurinaitis is the one who came up with the idea to use streamers before the NXT Title Match with Finn Balor and Kevin Owens with the idea it would give the show a unique Japanese flavor. Laurinaitis also booked the pre-match ceremony where the women in kimonos presented flowers to both Balor and Owens. WWE did send a production crew to Tokyo to air the show but they saved on costs by not using the normal setup and production that they use for pay-per-view events. The live WWE Network special was considered to be a major success. WWE officials are already looking at doing more Network-exclusive specials, likely in better timeslots as this show began at 5:30am EST.  People Power lives. |

Well, it only took 15 years, but John Laurinaitis was finally good at his job for one day.

Big  in' Johnny Props to him for pulling the Japanese wrestling culture into the show and making it feel different and fresh from the action on Monday nights. |

It was a great show. My only complaint is the NXT title match should have closed the show. They kept promoting it and it had the highest stakes. While the tag match kinda dragged.

He spent a lot of time in his career in Japan, so it stands to reason that he would be able to book a decent show with all his experience. He did an excellent job . . . it was a long time overdue lol

For all the problems I have with Johnny Ace, he does know the Japanese style. I'm glad he had those touches added to the NXT title match, they really added to how special it was.
I don't think he can really be credited much for the rest of the show though, that would have been the same quality regardless.

I hope this means he will appear on Raw more often and reveal himself as the leader of the Authority.
I love Big Johnny

as far as I was concerned the NXT match did close the show - no way I was watching cena, nziggler and crew after that match.

Why did he book Lesnar vs. Kofi Kingston? It's been explained a bunch. Brock was taking a trip to see a friend in Japan anyway and chose to do a quick match for the WWE so he could get paid for the trip. Reportedly he requested to work with Kofi Kingston. Kofi is a heel that could bump for him and not have his character hurt by getting squashed in a few minutes. |
