His old entrance and his WWE entrance are equally swaggy:



I'll always prefer this theme - it sounds like Akira took a bunch of futuristic drugs then entered himself into the Kumate.

This was the first match I saw him in live but there's so much classic fukkery to this tune. Never forget:

You guys wouldn't believe how bland he was for years. Like there's no fukking way 9 years ago.anyone would've believe he would become what he became. His transformation and evolution as a star to get THAT kind of debut on fukking WWE TV is :wow: and :mjcry: at the same cotdamn time for me.

Hopefully we get motivated Nakamura more often than not on SD. He's inconsistent as fukk and NXT didn't help him get better at it. There's so many dope matchups he can have with the main roster that it's kinda hard picturing him not having dope matches on the regular though :banderas: :purogang:
The development of Nakamura, omega, and SANADA are really interesting

I don't see the hype in the ring. He does the same stuff we've seen multiple people do.

As a character he can't speak english. IWC is going to have to carry his narrative as a top guy because I'm telling you those non-smark Middle America and South crowds aren't going to be losing their minds for a theme song.

Can easily be a Fandango pt. 2 thing (because he is talented but no one cares) if they don't get him in a good long term storyline for the casuals to latch on.

Imagine being a shytty, low rent version of Da King. Tragic stuff :mjcry:

i hope he translates well to the audience.

I think random WWE fan in midwest America, isn't going catch-on too easily

That's where Vince is going to have to go in on the character work.

It's good that his first feud is Miz, though. The past year has shown he's a great heat magnet, and he'll easily be able to get the crowd to boo him, even if they feel to cheer. Nakamura is defintely going to have to do his part too - or it's blank stares in Corpus Christi.

I still want Heyman to be his advocate, and play the exasperated straight man to Nakamura's insanity/genius.

Then you get the contrast in his clients between Moose Hunter Brock who lives in the woods and the Japanese superstar wrestler who is all about the spotlight...

Yea but like the Ryback says, Vince cooks them merchandise numbers anyway he wants :sas1:

No Ryback unless your name is Casey Motherfukking Ryback is going to do the international numbers like Nakamura is going to do on the merchandise. Think of the Asian community money in the US.
