And the praise of his sidekick for the duration of the call continued. Despite him mostly being a passenger on the call - thanks in part to his poorer grasp of English - Nakamura was very much an active topic of discussion. And there's never a better chance to hear an authority figure assess a roster member than when they're sitting right next to each other...

So how unique a star is Nakamura?

"Man, I've watched a lot of guys over the years. And there are certain talent that you're just drawn to and I think fans are just drawn to. That's charisma. That's X factor. That's all those things.Shinsuke brings something to the table that I haven't seen in a long time. And he brings exactly that. He brings a level of charisma, a level of showmanship that you don't see with a lot of times with guys that have an aggressive style like he does the striking that he does and the skillset that he does."

Triple H reiterated that he's had his eye on the King Of Strong Style for some time, simply because he exists on another level

"He's one of those guys that... it's harder to explain I think what he is because, when you start to begin to say it, it just doesn't do it justice. So you kind of just have to say, when you're explaining Shinsuke Nakamura, you just kind of have to say, "You've just got to see him. You've just got to watch him because it's awesome."
