WWE will be making its debut at historic Nippon Budokan in Tokyo on Friday, July 16 and on Saturday, July 17. Both shows will begin at 6:00 p.m. local time. Tickets for both events go on-sale Saturday, May 22, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. WWE SmackDown! Superstar Undertaker, who made his triumphant return at WrestleMania XX, will be making his WWE Japan debut. Undertaker is one of the most popular and recognized WWE Superstars of all time. The former WWE Champion was recently featured in The Greatest 50 Superstars of all time in WWE Magazine. Fans can also expect to see WWE Champion Eddie Guerrero, the 7-foot-2 inch, 500 pound, Big Show, Kurt Angle, John Cena, RVD, John Bradshaw Layfield, WWE Diva Torrie Wilson, and many more SmackDown! Superstars. Maybe it's just me, but I could've sworn he's fought over there as the Undertaker in years past. Wasn't he in a match against Shinzaki [Hakushi]?
