How badly will he flop in WWE?
2x US Title
1x Tag Team Title in a comedy gimmick team
>>1116386
He'll be champ by November
>>1116393
of NXT
Why is he doing the crotch chop?
>>1116407
his gimmick is 1997 shawn michaels
>>1116386
His gimmick is Michael Jackson having a stroke. Being a good wrestler can only get you so far when you can't really speak English in the WWE.
Asuka is lucky because there are no other good women in NXt.
THAT'S SHINSGAY NAGAMURAY A BIG NAME IN JAPAN WITH HIS FAMOUS JAPA-KNEE MAGGLE HE BEAT MANY A JAPS WITH IT
He's the biggest indie signing they've had. He's enigmatic. I imagine he'll be an upper card star, winning against some big names, and doing as well as you possibly can without becoming champion. He may even elevate the intercontinental belt to its former glory, defending it in co main events.
My only worry is that WWE change his music. I can't imagine they'd like the possibility of the same music being heard elsewhere after he's gone.
>>1116426
Don't get your hopes up, my man.
>>1116426
>NJPW
>indie
>>1116426
He already confirmed he has new music but says he really likes it
>>1116419
Give him a manager then?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HE HITTIN DAT VITAS
He and Big Show will win the tag titles at Summerslam with their team Big in Japan
>>1116459
Fair enough then. Although if the accent turned out to he a problem a manager could still fix it
>>1116386
Depends.
As long as he stays in NXT, he'll be fine.
>>1116386
>jap wrestler in WWE
>ever getting anything more than low-mid card
>>1116426
So...He's squinty eyed Ziggler?
>>1116459
The crowd will "what?" him unfortunately
If he's allowed to develop as a character beyond "Guy from Japan" then he'll be okay.
>>1117076
>Not familiar with WWE culture
>Repeats himself over and over because the crowd apparently can't hear him
Please get him on the main roster ASAP.
>>1117076
The crowd will 'what' anyone.
>>1116386
What was the most a Japanese wrestler ever got in the WWE? Was it Bull Nakano?
>>1116543
Ziggler doesn't have anywhere near the presence, personality or mic skills of Nakamura, and I'm one of three people left that still likes Ziggler.
>>1116489
Kek'd
>>1117076
He won't be doing long promos so no, they won't.
>>1117148
Nah, it's gotta be my nigga Tajiri
>>1117181
>mic skills
This is America. We speak english here.
>>1117293
And so will Nakamura, his english is better than any jap wrassler to ever get in the wwe. Given that doesn't mean dick because he'll still get strapped with a standard ching-chong-bong gimmick guaranteeing that no one will ever take him seriously, but still.
If he does his normal thing, he'll get really over. If not, then he's probably going to flop.
>>1117309
I doubt WWE will let some jap run around kicking off the head of their talent, especially after this wave of injuries.
>>1116386
He'll do okay in NXT, but he'll never appear on the main roster, guaranteed.
Why did WWE resign Kenzo Suzuki?
>>1116386
He'll be in a wacky comedy tag team with either Big Show or R-Truth by the end of the year.
>>1117240
>Two tag title runs, one US title, four flippy titles that don't even exist anymore
Yeah, that's sound about the best case scenario Nakamura can look forward to.
>>1117328
a few months back he just has a rip of micheal jackson gimmick he has now.
>>1116435
Not sure how I feel about this. I hope he's sincere when he says that.
>>1116386
Comedy jobber to another jobber like kevin obese in the lowcard.
>>1117344
He will get 2 solid NXT title runs most likely.
>>1117416
>I have dial up internet
>>1116386
I hope he cuts his goofy hair. He's gonna go nowhere with that JUST haircut
>>1116386
>>1117416
he's staying in NXT for a minimal time, he probably won't even get the title and will just have an epic match with Samoan Jill.
>>1116386
WWE isn't real op.
>>1116386
Knowing his accent is very thick 7/10, unless his merch sells like crazy, then they'll keep him in the mid-cards or he goes back to japan because he wants to wrassle and become a world champion
>>1116419
His English is better than Roman Reigns's
>>1117328
Don't be sad that the ladyboy in your trip jobbed the fuck out to him last year
>>1116386
3 time tag team champ with Hideo Itami in the modern day version of kaientai.
>>1116386
Remember Mitsubishi Nintendo and Suzuki Yokohama? that's about what you can expect from Nagasaki Toriyama
>>1117148
Obviously Funaki. I mean, cmon. He had Smackdown trunks lol
>>1117148
Yokozuna of course :^)
>>1116459
yeah because that worked for cesaro right
>>1118209
It's his lack of charisma, not his accent.
>>1118214
there's nothing to suggest that his charisma will automatically translate over here
he may get nervous as fuck, or the mainstream marks might just not 'get' him
>>1118219
>he may get nervous as fuck
For some reason I think he has a lot of confidence in his ability
>>1118219
>he may get nervous as fuck
he's Shinsuke Nakamura, what's he got to be nervous about? He's been doing this for about 15 years now
>>1118219
>there's nothing to suggest that his charisma will automatically translate over here
Charisma translates to every language.
>he may get nervous as fuck,
Yeah, I'm doubting that.
What are the odds his music is going to have stereotypical CHING CHONGA CHING sounds in it?
THE GANG'S ALL HERE
>>1118219
And maybe you might post something that isn't shit
Everything's possible in Hypothetical Land!
>>1118214
> parroting a senile old roidhead
Cesaro has more charisma in his receding hairline than Reigns does in his entire manufactured push.
>>1118231
Well his NJPW theme kinda did...
>>1118237
>only nakamura and that gook I don't recognize drink beer
Lmao fucking japs
>>1118253
It's probably fucking Asahi too.
>>1118243
Sure he does, lad. Sure he does
>>1118306
>botched a line
>no charisma
>>1118306
Marktown USA seemed to think so, when they very clearly supported him over Reigns
> shading somebody for promo botches in defense of RAMEN
>>1116386
He'll flop on the main roster without a doubt thanks to Vince and Dunn. On NXT he can and will be a top guy no doubt.
>>1118222
>>1118225
this is the big leagues kid. it will be the first time he will be shoved into a completely foreign audience. nobody will know who the fuck he is if they forget to pick a smarky town for his debut. that could be very disorientating for him being one of the biggest stars in Japan. it could happen.
AJ still looks very nervous from time to time
>>1118227
>Charisma translates to every language.
no it doesn't. remember how badass él patron was before he returned to wwe?
>>1119660
>this is the big leagues kid. it will be the first time he will be shoved into a completely foreign audience.
He's wrestled for USA & UK promotions for years you twat
> Styles
> nervous
top lel
I'd like to think a feud Nakamura will surely get into is with Brock Lesnar.
Shame it'll never happen.
>>1119660
>this is the big leagues kid.
sup vince
>>1120982
>>1119999
Yeah in no name shit full of smarks. AJ has looked nervous as fuck anytime he's on the mic
I love Nakamura, he's probably my favourite wrestler in the world, I guess I'm just trying not to pin all my hopes on the guy. He could flop hard with terrible booking. It's happened to a lot of guys just as talented in the past
>>1121036
god rest his soul
>>1116386
He'll have it just as bad if not worse than Neville.
