7 Reasons Daniel Bryan vs Shinsuke Nakamura Inter-Promotional Match Is Best For Business
6. Both Men Are Wildly Popular & Intercontinental Champions
If you were to ask any hardcore wrestling fans who their favourite wrestlers in the world are right now, nearly all of their lists would include Daniel Bryan and Shinsuke Nakamura. In fact Shinsuke Nakamura is Daniel Bryans favourite wrestler in the world. These two men are both immensely popular despite their wildly different public personas. Daniel Bryan attained his popularity by being the workhorse underdog that everyone got behind because they felt he wasnt getting a fair shake from the WWE brass. He remained one of their favourites because of his infectious enthusiasm (Yes!) and the fact that week in and week out he performs masterfully in the ring. It doesnt hurt that he might be the most genuinely nice guy ever to attain the spot he has in the WWE. Shinsuke Nakamura on the other hand is insanely popular because of the never-ending wealth of charisma in his body. The guys ability to connect with an audience through the artistry of movement is undeniable. Hes got it, whatever it is, in spades. Unlike Daniel Bryan, who is a more subdued underdog, Shinsuke Nakamura is a rock star in every sense of the world. He looks and feels larger than life, and brings an electric and all encompassing gravitas to everything hes a part of. Despite these differences in personality, Bryan and Nakamura have a lot of similarities. Daniel Bryan is the leader of the Yes! Movement in the WWE, while Nakamura presides over his own movement, being the King of Strong Style in NJPW. Both men use a running knee strike as their finishing maneuver, and both men just happen to be Intercontinental Champions, for the WWE and NJPW respectively. Its almost eerie how perfectly these things align.
