Shinsuke Nakamura‘s run in NJPW is one of legends. He was considered a super rookie in his early years and pushed to the moon relatively quick. With a legitimate MMA background, Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanahashi belonged to an era that saw them bring NJPW out of the dark ages.

While Nakamura never really became the “Ace” of NJPW, he would go on to have a legendary run as a top star of the company, capturing three world championships and multiple other championships. He single-handedly raised the prestige of the IWGP Intercontinental Championship too. In his prime, he was one of the best performers in the world, in the ring and out of it.

Nakamura oozes charisma and his hard-hitting aggressive style gave him the King Of Strong Style moniker. Through the years, he’s had some unforgettable, nail-biting classics. Since his prime as a performer was in NJPW, we include only one WWE match on this list. Presenting to you, the five best matches of Shinsuke Nakamura.
