The WWE is now starting an international scouting hunt for a Chinese Giant. In essence, the WWE is looking to find a “Yao Ming” of wrestling. They are searching for a Chinese athlete that could be molded into a big international star in the U.S. and in China. The Chinese market is pretty much untapped, so WWE officials feel that by finding a Chinese Giant, it could create a superstar, just as the NBA has done with Ming. WWE agents will be especially watching the Beijing Olympics to see if they can find their “Giant”.
