“It’s an amazing thing for WWE history I think,” Nakamura said in a phone interview of facing Styles for the WWE title in New Orleans on Sunday. “We crossed over, we crossed the border line in Japan and the States, different company and that’s why I say this is destiny.”

It’s a pairing many believe could produce a match-of-the-year candidate. But how his performance is graded is not a concern to Nakamura, who will be making his WrestleMania debut.

“Actually I don’t care about the ratings, five stars, six stars, seven stars, whatever,” he said. “But I really want to enjoy this match. I want to do everything I can do. I want to take everything he can do.”

Nakamura, who said he had only seen highlights of WrestleMania before the past two years, is confident he can put forward his best, saying he finally feels “comfortable” with WWE’s brand of wrestling.

He said the biggest challenge was moving his family to the US. The wrestling was never a major concern to him, but there were adjustments he needed to make.

Nakamura said he had to learn to work under WWE’s time restrictions, especially on its live television shows. Many of his matches in Japan were taped and could be edited. He wanted to challenge himself to perform under new circumstances.

“We didn’t need to care about the time,” Nakamura said. “WWE time-wise is so strict.”

Being in sync now is one of the reasons he is confident in the level of match he and Styles can put on. When they were together in New Japan, Styles was getting comfortable with the Japanese style. Both of them are more polished now.

“When he was in Japan, he needed to adjust, but now he doesn’t need to,” Nakamura said. “For me, this took time to adjust, but now I feel comfortable with the WWE. At WrestleMania I can show my 100 percent or more.”

He doesn’t see their language barrier as a hindrance to their ability to connect with the audience. Nakamura has one of the best entrances in WWE, which complements his eccentric style and energy. There is more than one way to get people emotionally invested in your character, he believes.

“I think a wrestler can say something from fighting, from wrestling,” Nakamura said. “I’m not like an English speaker so I have confidence in my wrestling skills, also like body language, hand gestures, facial expressions. I put all of my emotion in my wrestling. That’s why maybe people can feel [a connection].”

One wrestler he will always be linked to is Daniel Bryan. The two roomed together, along with MMA fighter Lyoto Machida, when they were all in the Inoki Dojo — a school that trained people in MMA and pro wrestling — in Los Angeles in the early 2000s. Bryan and Nakamura only worked together in tag matches in New Japan.

He said one of the reasons he came to WWE was to finally wrestle Bryan, who was forced into retirement in 2016 because of complications with concussions. It was the same year Nakamura joined the company.

“So, I join the WWE and soon he needed to quit,” Nakamura said. “That was shock to me. Huge shock.”

When Bryan was medically cleared two weeks ago to wrestle again, Nakamura was one of the first superstars to tweet the idea of a match between him and the leader of the Yes Movement. He’d be happy to have it at next year’s WrestleMania at MetLife Stadium.

“Next dream match for me,” he said.

Of course they put the Cruiserweights on the pre-show.

They need to put New Day and the Usos on to make the cypher complete.

Anyone going to a Bar that’s showing Wrestlemania? I was thinking about going to a bar that has a pro wrestling watching club in my city. They watch raw every Monday, so I know they’ll be watching Mania. I just don’t wanna be the only black guy drinking around Cacs and neckbeards, I rather watch it solo and post on the coli if that’s the case

 

[FaygoMI]

I still can't decide between NXT and Roh Saturday night . Really wanna do ROH but Johnny wrestling and Ciampa

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Alexa and Nia is the feud that those nerds baley and sasha tried to build

That kayfabe kept up all year, not nearly as impressive as the Miz & Maryses but

 

[laughslikebig]

I’m hype.

Ak vs Nak gon be lit.
Roman v Brock will be lit
Wanna see what happens with Cena and Taker.
IC triple threat will be good
SD tag should be a great match.
Eager to see who Braun’s partner is.
Asuka vs. Charlotte gonna be wavy.
D BRY BACK!!!!!!



If all those deliver it’s a great mania.

everything else I don’t care about but u need those little breaks.

 

[Two Stacks]

Here's the people that should be in contention for the main titles after WM in my opinion.

Braun
Rusev
Miz
DB
AJ
Nakamura
Rollins
Roman

no all of them shouldn't be champion during the rest of the year but there are so many matches that can be done and fresh feuds. Everyone can work in the ring and not trash on the mic, and besides Roman, the fans would be okay with any of these guys as champion.

Braun/Roman for the belt
AJ/Naka II
Rollins/Roman
DB vs Everybody

and hell, Miz has proven and earned this shyt. He deserves to be Universal Champion. Him vs. DB for that belt

DB gonna turn on Shane and him and KO/Zayn go back to Raw I think.

 

[Two Stacks]

The main things I want to see from WM:

Non deadman Taker
New DB ring gear, maybe a new submission based finisher?
I wanna see New Day and Usos and BB steal the show

I REAAALLLLLY feel its time for Cena to leave for good, but you know they gonna get him that 17th belt. who gonna lay down for him this year

That feud is garbage. The match won't be very good either. I just hope that midget finally loses the title.
