WWE Beast In The East: 10 Awesome Moments

10. Announcers Were Far More Informative Than Usual

In many ways, 'The Beast In The East' is exactly the kind of thing the WWE Network was made for. Not only does the service offer pretty much every Pay-Per-View from WWF/WWE, WCW and ECW, as well as a plethora of different content, but the Network also eliminates worries about time zone differences when broadcasting shows, due to the on demand nature of the thing.

Usually during telecasts, WWE's announcers are thus so concerned with promoting the Network, talking about social media, discussing main event storylines, and practically everything else other than the match taking place in the ring before them. That's partly because there's so much to get through for the commentary team during shows, but things felt different in Japan.

Yes, Michael Cole and Byron Saxton did talk about Twitter, and yes, they did allude to main event angles such as Brock Lesnar vs. Seth Rollins, but they did so at the correct times. Better yet, who thought that they'd hear Cole discussing Dragon Gate on a WWE-branded show? Or how about talking about Finn Balor's history in the Orient as 'Prince Devitt'?
