My Take
To me Shinsuke Nakamura sits in a category of his own. From Mineyama in Kyoto, the 188 cm Aoyama Gakuin graduate built his King of Strong Style persona on uncanny timing and that serpentine charisma in New Japan, then walked into WWE and instantly owned American crowds, his entrance theme turning arenas into a single chorus. That he leaps the language barrier so effortlessly tells you everything. A former mixed martial artist with real grit, he is unorthodox yet utterly anchored at the core. He is honestly one of the coolest performers I can think of.
