You want nuclear crowd reaction? Put Nakamura in a ring with Roman Reigns.

 

[volfanbill]

Nakamura tore the place down. That was insane

 

[oUTlaw]

Any surprises worth going back and watching before Nakamura came out?

Spoiler

Tye Dillinger beat Curt Hawkins

That would be the ultimate crowd reaction in that match.

as long as Naomi uses the Rear View as a finisher, I'll never respect her as a real wrestler

Well if she hit me with the Rear View I'd definitely finish.

They're TEN reasons why

Ha

Just watched the Nakamura debut ...

That's an attitude era type pop. That was wild.

I have no idea what will happen with this Shakeup next week, but before last night, I would have bet money AJ was moving to RAW. Now, I don't think he is.

If AJ stays on SDL, I'm hoping it leads to AJ-Nakamura at WM 34.

Surely they have the sense to do that. Surely.

Give it a 12 month slow build like it deserves.

The company's roster is plenty deep enough at this point to allow things like that to work.


Although, my worry with Nakamura is he'll pop crowds in bigger, smarkier cities but will be met with mild annoyance and USA chants in places like Birmingham.

The guy oozes charisma. I think he's going to be a mega- face everywhere he goes.

No doubt, he definitely should be. I guess my lack of faith in some parts of the wrestling community can cloud my judgment.

Hopefully they just let him do what he's been doing and don't try to put him in some sort of mold.

 

[volfanbill]

Just the violinist and Nakamura walking out (with the swagger only he has) lit last night's crowd up beyond anything Mania or RAW witnessed

 

[oUTlaw]

Ooooooo yeah I had completely forgot about the potential of moving Rusev over to Smackdown. Must happen now.

idk if it was a bigger pop than the Hardys tbh

 

[crusse10]

you'd think after that Pokemon episode in the 90s that Shinsuke would know not to come out to strobe lights

 

[volfanbill]

I think it was. Only because the crowd was already loud and just went nuts for a couple of minutes. With Nakamura, the whole crowd popped the entire segment. I assume he's going to now feud with Miz since he interrupted him?

 

[crusse10]

I just really don't know what to expect. I'm thinking a Dillinger-Ziggler storyline would be very good. They were in OVW together a decade ago and I'm sure Ziggler would love to work with him. Seems like a good first feud stepping stone toward a Perfect 10 IC feud after SummerSlam.

As for Shinsuke, the clear hope is Wrestlemania main event against AJ.

I would love to see the American Alpha for Enzo and Cass trade so that we can get the Top Guys vs. the new Team Angle (with Kurt). With this, you can have a feud of the relatively new guys separate from the championship picture. Also gives Enzo and Cass the ability to be the top dogs of a division that's sub-par and bring energy to that lifeless division.

WM main event isn't gonna come from smackdown brand.

What do y'all think about the opportunity for a Shinsuke match at the Knoxville Live show?

I am giddy. I am going to order tickets now with Shinsuke possibly there.
