WWE has just announced that one of the most revered competitors in British wrestling history has been named the General Manager of the company's United Kingdom brand. Find out more details after the jump.
One of the most highly regarded and respected British wrestlers of all time will be leading the charge as WWE makes moves to expand its United Kingdom division.
Johnny Saint has been appointed General manager of the UK contingent, and will make his debut in the role during the United Kingdom Championship Tournament events being held later this month at London’s world-famous Royal Albert Hall.
Many of the top technical wrestlers in the world cite Saint as a big influence of their styles, including former WWE Champion Daniel Bryan.
“Johnny Saint is somebody who does fancy reversals, but what made him a wrestlers’ wrestler is when he’d get gritty with his wrestling,” Bryan said. “He entertained people through wrestling. He knew a million different holds. He’d go out there and always have fantastic matches. I wrestled him when he was 60-something years old and was still absolutely phenomenal in the ring. He was so good at what he did, technique-wise.”
