John Pollock & Wai Ting review WWE Beast in the East from July 2015 at Sumo Hall in Tokyo, Japan featuring Finn Balor vs. Kevin Owens for the NXT Championship and matches involving Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Chris Jericho.
They discuss the commentary differences of a Vince-less Michael Cole, the novelty of a live broadcast from Japan in the Network Era, Finn Balor’s return to Japan, Chris Jericho’s unique schedule at the time, and the reported reason for why Brock Lesnar was booked on this show.
This review was chosen by Espresso Executive Producer, Neal Flanagan, who joins us to discuss the event and go through the Trivia Gauntlet.
