1. This was the first ever Shinsuke Nakamura match I ever watched.. This theme song hit so hard too! I was shook from start to finish.

2. I…. I need to go to Japan. For reasons.

3. This is was one of my 1st matches of his I watched and became a super fan

4. I wish he’d stick to that gear in WWE.

5. Peak Nakamura. I miss old New Japan so much. Wk9 through 12 was the best years.

6. this singlehandedly got me hooked on NJPW back in 2014

7. One of the best entrances I’ve ever seen.

8. Still my favorite entrance.

9. You know how good this entrance is? Tanahashi had former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman play his theme to the ring for this match and nobody talks about it.

10. He is just effortlessly cool.

11. Man, I miss this Nakamura so much. I got into modern NJPW through the G1 Climax 24 and was SO into Nak for the rest of his duration in NJPW, easily my favourite wrestler in the world. Not to mention that this theme is GOAT level.

    I don’t blame him for heading to WWE and getting that paycheck, but it does make me a little sad that my fandom never quite recovered after he left.

12. Correct

13. The implication of your title is that he wasn’t and isn’t still the coolest person on the planet. How dare you OP.

14. Love Shinsuke. Feel like he used to study Prince videos. Always had those kinda vibes/mannerisms

15. *Great-O-Khan taking notes*

16. Never seen this before, that entrance was 🔥🔥🔥

17. “Like” he was?

18. Nak was the one man

19. Is there a site where you can view old NJPW entrance videos?

20. He was the coolest person on the planet with this entrance.

21. If you’re not he never fell in love with American surfing.

22. The Real Tokyo PIMP!

23. Now he’s a person on the planet

24. That man is my hero and God i miss that intercontinental championship
