8. Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura has only been in World Wrestling for a cup of coffee, but it is clear to everyone that he is a truly special talent. Heck, he hasn't really been in WWE at all, as he still finds himself down in NXT. He's undefeated in developmental, however, and finds himself heading towards a showdown with current NXT Champion Samoa Joe.

Nakamura has the ability to become a truly special figure in WWE's history. The company has a fairly shocking track record when it comes to utilising Japanese talent, but Nakamura could very well be the man to change all of that. His presentation in NXT so far has been an indication that things may have changed.

When he eventually makes it to the main roster, Nakamura will surely find himself immediately placed towards the top of the card. Will we see a Japanese World Champion for the very first time? Quite possibly.

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.
