7 Things WWE Can Learn From NJPW

7. A More Physical In-ring Style

Whilst I don't expect to see R-Truth and Fandango going at it like Tomoaki Honma and Tomohiro Ishii anytime soon, WWE could definitely benefit from allowing its talent to work a more physical style. This might seem like a risk in light of the mass of injuries WWE has experienced over the last year or so, but the positives of such a move are clear to see.

WWE's audience still wants to see the physical side of the product, and nothing heightens the anticipation in this regard more than the promise of a true war. It's also true that a couple of the maligned WWE chosen children, namely Roman Reigns and Sheamus, get a much more respectful reception when they work a more physical style.

Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn bring crowds to their feet whenever they are within punching distance of each other, and a lot of this has to do with the sense of reality that comes from their exchanges. By allowing their talent to lay the strikes in a little deeper, WWE could really benefit.
