Wrestling Thread October 1st-31st/ No Mercy Tonight At 8PM ET/ Dolph Zigger Last Match

He's playing it safe. Doesn't wanna waste too much energy in NXT when the main roster is the goal.

Don't want to get hurt in NXT.

The big names are closer to career twilight than not. Some are prime. Some coming out of prime.
 
when exactly is the cwc final match for the title?

How did Naka transform into the Freddie Mercury/MJ gimmick he has now? Didn't he start out with essentially no "character" in NJPW?

Was it an eventual transformation or he just showed up one day with the gimmick in NJPW?

He started showing a little more personality around 2010-2011 and it slowly progessed to what it is today.
 
Nakamura's in-ring style is undeniably compelling and his selection of striking techniques and submission skills along with his high level of overall athleticism--as exhibited by his signature "Slingblade" vortex neckbreaker--make him a dangerous, capable opponent for virtually every competitor in federations around the world.

However, like the figures he takes inspiration from, Nakamura is bound to be a polarizing presence for casual fans, who may not immediately look past his unique nature to see his world-class talent for combat. One commentor even compared the Japanese sensation's prematch sequence to an iconic scene from "Flashdance," expecting water to cascade from the rafters and splash over his contorted body at any moment.

There's no doubt as to Nakamura's capabilities, as however eccentric a performer he may be, only someone with no appreciation for the sport could outright discredit all that Nakamura has to offer in the squared circle. Still, raw ability and hardcore fan support don't always translate to the big stage, and it remains to be seen how his exceedingly flamboyant presentation will connect with the larger nationwide audience, who may not be able to fully appreciate his nuances.
