When it comes to his potential in professional wrestling, Shinsuke Nakamura has barely begun to scratch the surface.
He did, however, just add a giant building block to his wrestling legacy by defeating Samoa Joe for the NXT championship this past Saturday at Takeover: Brooklyn II.
“Joe is special,” said Nakamura. “He is a real wrestler. He knows the real techniques of how to beat an opponent. He uses an MMA technique, so it’s real fighting. Also, I know that technique, so that’s what we show in the ring when we wrestle.”
The 36-year-old Nakamura is looking to enter parts unknown in WWE.
