4. Shinsuke Nakamura

Why oh why oh why is Shinsuke Nakamura still in developmental?

The King of Strong Style was one of the best professional wrestlers in the world long before WWE started sniffing around him, and in the time he has been in NXT, performers such as Mojo Rawley and Carmella have been promoted to the main roster ahead of the former NXT Champion. It beggars belief.

Of course, there were all sorts of balancing acts in motion to make this possible, but Shinsuke Nakamura being in developmental anything is absolutely, criminally impossible. The former IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion has a natural charisma that most human beings lack, and has shown his ability to connect with any crowd without need for words or explanations.

The worst case scenario has Shinsuke Nakamura debuting on RAW and being engaged in a never-ending 50/50 feud with Bo Dallas. The best case scenario makes WWE a huge amount of money and showcases one of the best pro wrestlers in the world as the top babyface on the flagship show.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
