Chris notes similarities in the work of Nakamura to the likes of Masahiro Chono and Jake "The Snake" Roberts, the latter of which he says he's heard from Terry Taylor.

The host then wants to know what it's been like for "The King of Strong Style" to go from working in the main events of huge NJPW shows at arenas such as the Tokyo Dome to performing in the much smaller venues that NXT books.

He calls it a new experience and says that it's much different being a New Japan star and an NXT star. He never got a chance to watch other wrestling but had heard stories from his colleagues and says it's been very interesting.

Y2J says it's good for him to get a chance to take the time and learn the American audiences without the pressure of being on Monday Night Raw, and adds that he's a smart worker and it will come easy to him.
