This is how he should have been booked to begin with.

I think he was fine the way he was booked in NXT but bringing him to SmackDown for weeks just to do his entrance and then go into a program with Ziggler isn’t a good start for anybody.

I thought he was fine till they fed him to Jinder.
But I am intrigued by the pairing of him and Zayn. I'd be okay if this eventually leads to one of them being face again.

I think pairing him with Zayn is a good decision. Nakamura can do all the work and Zayn can do all the talking.

I like the Zayn/Nak pairing but as aforementioned, feuding with Ziggler and then being fed to Mahal really did no favors for his early career.

He really doesn’t need a mouth piece. However, I’m in no way against it because Heel Sami is so unlikeable that it works really well getting Nakamura over again as a heel. The two can work great together, but I just hope it doesn’t limit Sami’s wrestling time. I’m sort of wondering if he’s dealing with some minor injury of sorts and this is there way of keeping him on TV

Honestly, I'm not sold on the pairing. Sami will never be high up the card as a heel and I think I'm just done with Nakamura completely. At leatt they're trying something different with them both, and it might grow on me, but I'm not seeing what everyone else is.

Nakamura's run has been a huge failure since he turned heel. His US title run was mediocre and his IC run is no better either. It's as if they have no proper direction for him.
What happened to the King of Strong Style who was in NXT?

The thing about Nakamura is that he could be a valuable babyface if need be, but unfortunately it's a weird thing to book a babyface with a mouthpiece and Vince isn't a fan of people who can't speak english.
Let's also not pretend Nak has been on top of his game in WWE. He basically treats it as a working retirement and I'm alright with that. The guy is a star and a great character and one of the few on the roster I would call myself a fan of.
Also his initial heel run wasn't bad. I really enjoyed the "no speak-a engrish" stuff a lot.
I hope this partnership proves fruitful, as I'm a fan of both.

I'm fine with Nakamura having Zayn as a mouthpiece, but I thought Nakamura was fine speaking very little and putting lots of expression into the little he says.

Just bring in Sonny Ono to manage him. Sonny is still awesome.

It's amazing what putting in some effort can do to someone's career.

They should have changed his name to Shinsuke Nakedmara, and he could tagged with "The Nude" Daniel Bryan, and together could have been the first all nude tag team in the WWE.
They could have brought back Naked Mideon for their manager. Talk about ratings!

im one od the very few who really couldnt care less if i see or don't see shinsuke at all anymore.i think that ship sailed long ago. once he loses the title he'll go back to doing what he was doing before he won it... nothing

Other than his NXT debut match vs Sami he’s never impressed me. And nothing he’s done recently has changed my opinion of him. He’s nothing more than an entrance which personally I still don’t understand how that works either. lol

Guy has had one good match the entire time he's been signed to WWE. He's retirded and still collecting a paycheck. Good for him.

His debut match against Sami is one of my favorite WWE matches of the past decade, but he never reached those heights again. Nakamura has charisma and ability, unfortunately he's been lazy in America and I'm pretty sure it's one of the prime reasons he went to WWE. |

I knew the moment he turned heel it was downhill. I think losing to AJ at Mania was a mistake and he’s never been the same since. Their excuse was “oh he’s not over enough.” Well you literally fed him to Jinder  ing Mahal on two separate occasions. That doesn’t get anybody over. That’s the problem with the company, they book everyone to sh*t and look like losers then wonder why nobody gets over. I’ll get off my soapbox now. |
