Up to this point, WWE had just a one hour edited version of Raw as its only television available in much of the country. The shows will air in Mandarin, and WWE will also debut a Mandarin language website. PPTV and PPTV Sports will stream the shows on Smart TVs, set-top boxes, mobile devices, and tablets, as well as their websites. There will also be specialized Chinese programming on those services. On the in-ring side, Bin Wang is now under a developmental deal, the first wrestler of Chinese ancestry to be with the promotion. Often known as Wang Bin, he has been a regular undercard wrestler for Antonio Inoki's IGF promotion in Japan. The Inoki group first reported on his signing with WWE Wednesday night and wished him well. He starts this weekend with the promotion. In conjunction with the news, WWE has reached a deal with Expo Group as live promoters, and announced a 9/10 live event at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Shanghai.

Joe had one of the longest careers in the business, breaking into wrestling in the early 1950 and wrestling well into the 2000s, only retiring after a portion of his foot was amputated.

Originally Posted by Observer There could be a lot of newsworthy events either on Money in the Bank or in the next few weeks since The Wyatt Family, Neville and Randy Orton are all scheduled to return over the next several weeks. Finn Balor has been talked about as well, but that could also be delayed for the draft, when it’s expected that a lot of the NXT stars will start appearing. The ticket sales have picked up in the last week and they are expecting a sellout with a 13,000-seat configuration at the new T Mobile Arena, the same site as UFC 200 and 202.

No doubt UFC is paying millions for it, and maybe the money UFC is paying WWE is worth the risk. But in doing so, WWE is admitting that they are the secondary company, in the sense they’d allow someone to use their top guy to get their own product over. It’s not Ronda Rousey being linked in an angle with The Rock and being put over strong, which only helped her, as Rousey’s next PPV main did 300,000 more buys. That’s not saying it was because of Mania or The Rock, but it surely helped her with a new fan base. This is Rousey being brought in and UFC agreeing to let her lose to Stephanie McMahon.

From the recent Observer Newsletter about the WWE being potentially the big losers in the upcoming Lesnar-Hunt fight in regards to Lesnar's star power value.

Originally Posted by 411Mania According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Big Damo, Noam Dar, Moose and Tommy End are all expected to be part of the September class at the WWE Performance Center if they pass their medicals. WWE is getting aggressive in looking to sign more talent, due to the upcoming brand split and the feeling that so many of the NXT performers are going to be moved up soon. Right now they want experienced wrestlers who they can use on tours as opposed getting athletes and teach them to be pro wrestlers from scratch.
