18 Things We Learned From Shinsuke Nakamura On Talk Is Jericho
6. The Influence Of Freddie Mercury
It was fun for Y2J to work with Nakamura because he says the two are both very much focused on the character aspect of wrestling, and he says that when he watches him he gets a Freddie Mercury vibe and wants to know if Shinsuke is a fan of him as well.
He confirms, and jokes that in his imagination Mercury was also a martial artist, and Chris says that they both have a commanding presence that draws all eyes on them.
The NXT superstar says that a lot of young wrestlers just focus on pulling off as many moves as possible and he tries to teach them that the moves themselves are far less important than what happens in between them.
He says it's all about how you move, walk, interact with the audience, etc.
