More On WWE Signing Takeshi Morishima Submitted by Brad Ingles on Thursday, August 21, 2008 at 2:19 PM EST
WWE is in talks with Pro Wrestling NOAH so that the company can sign former ROH Champion Takeshi Morishima. The latest details from discussions are that WWE is getting cold feet.
Morishima faced and won his matches against Charlie Hass in a RAW dark match and Jamie Noble in an ECW dark match this week. During the Smackdown tapings, ECW's Tony Atlas was with Morishima at ringside. WWE Hall of Famer Harley Race accompanied Morishima and represented him.
NOAH allowed Morishima to work with WWE as long as he does not appear on TV and could not do a job. If he signs with WWE, he will have to drop the Global Honored Crown Heavyweight Championship and it's believed that NOAH will receive a payment from WWE.
