15 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (25 Oct)

10. Hogan Calling Shinsuke Nakamura A "Young Boy"

Hulk Hogan reserved some special words for Shinsuke Nakamura when he was running down Team Flair's chances in a big six-man tag-team main event. He said that Shin wasn't "ichiban" (number one), but was in fact "niban" (number two), and then called him a "young boy".

A lot of younger fans won't have caught the meaning.

Hulk was, of course, passing Nakamura off as some rookie compared to him. It was a good line, and Shin walking forwards before being pulled back by Sami Zayn added yet more spice to it.
