Harry Smith, otherwise known as Davey Boy Smith Junior, speaks on the differences between wrestling in Japan and the United States.

While speaking to Bill Apter in a new interview, Harry Smith would talk about his current run in All Japan Pro Wrestling, noting that he hopes to return to AJPW before the end of the Summer.

“So the last two years, I’ve been wrestling over for All Japan Pro Wrestling and been living over in Japan regularly for almost the last two years, I have a break… not vacation, but break from Japan right now. Hopefully I’ll be back in the summer.”

Smith continued and would explain the difference between competing in Japan and the US.

“Over in Japan, it’s still considered a bit more of like a sport, like more serious, the Japanese wrestling style is a lot different with the complicated sequences leading into the ending of a match, whereas over here it’s a little bit more commercial based. Over in All Japan, we’re hitting each other. We’re going hard style, and I liked it that way.”

Smith previously discussed a potential idea for a WWE SmackDown debut. You can read more about that here.
