Backstage News on Shinsuke Nakamura’s Promo Ability and Being Able to Adapt to WWE’s Style

As noted, top NJPW star Shinsuke Nakamura will be heading to the WWE Performance Center in early February to begin working out in the ring and undergoing medical testing.

With regards to Nakamura in WWE, The Wrestling Observer is reporting a lot of people might be unaware that Shinsuke Nakamura speaks English fairly well, and if people think that his charisma only applies to his entrance and in-ring matches, it actually applies to his promos as well. While the transition to doing promos in a second language might not exactly be easy for Nakamura, he will have a far easier time adapting to WWE style promos than other Japanese stars who have come before him.
