Mark Cuban is betting big that this Japanese wrestling company can take on WWE

Mark Cuban is stepping into the ring to stake his claim in the world of professional wrestling.

Cuban's cable network AXS TV acquired rights to New Japan Professional Wrestling in 2015.

Mark Cuban dismissed the idea that CEO of WWE, Vincent McMahon, should be threatened by his network.

We’re not a threat because of the language. That’s the biggest challenge, the language. But if you’re a purist for wrestling, and you like the action, it’s the best promotion by far.
