Shinsuke is getting paid. He likes the lifestyle he has in the U.S. and the demand on his body is far less in WWE than it would be working the physically demanding Japanese style. He's talked about leaving the business on his own terms rather than being on crutches. Wrestlers all have physical limitations. If he can earn the best money for the least amount damage then more power to them.
Well some marks will never understand that part of the business, more money ,safer matches
WWE never understood who Nakamura was, they're the reason why people don't get him. Shinsuke made himself in Japan and became one of the best in the world, there was no reason to change that.
NXT used him fantastically
I think WWE has let him be what he was in NJPW it’s just Japan and WWE/American fans are 2 different things and fans
American fans don't want to watch a guy act weird just because for very long. It's okay for the diehards who know his history but nobody who watches casually is getting into that.
In the orig NXT he was a rockstar and he talked. They don’t showcase him at all on the main roster.
Right Joey
I love how he explains every single detail.
Thanks for this interview
That title to this video is great 😂
i dont know what roman is supposed to be still but that hasnt stopped them from pushing him
Roman has a character tho & doesn't parade around making odd movements & twitches for no apparent reason lol
Roman is the head of his family's table and the Samoan dynasty. Like the Tony Soprano of the Anaoi family. Not hard to understand
Japanese. He is Japanese.
Excellent point joey!
Joey looks good, glad to see hes still around
Jeff scarred Mercury Forever on the bridge of the nose since Armageddon Ladder shot
well I never understood what Joey Mercury was either.
Did you even watch the video
Yea of course they don't "get" Shinsuke and that translates into not knowing what to do with him.
Triple H though he got it.
If you don't buy tickets, it doesn't matter if you don't get it
I bet Nakamura has never heard of Joey Mercury period.
Damn, I never seen Joey so close up, it makes sense, but I didn't know he still had that scar
Bro got butchered by that ladder, traumatised me. Always knew wrestling weapon hits weren’t real but 12 year old me knew that shit was real.
My name is “Kenzo Suzuki!!”
Never got into shinsucke, and after he dropped cena he was pretty much done. He looks like a Japanese Micheal Jackson impersonator even the same build
The problem is wwe doesn’t like to acknowledge wrestler’s history. They took one aspect of his character and ran with it. He’s supposed to be this chaotic person.
Well if we're defining on Vinces terms he's part Shinsuke and all Nakamura.
Hes Freddy Mercury mixed with Michael Jackson that can wrestle. Boogs was def goin for a Freddy Mercury gimmick
That's how I feel about 90% of professional wrestlers today, who is this... why are they here... why should I care... an ultimately most of the time I don't. Nakamura, Owens, Corbin, Zayn, Reigns, Ricochet, Ziggler and a several others including the now AEW transplants have no character and/or charisma whatsoever (it's like trying to force charisma out of or on to wrestlers who don't have it). You can get away with that some, if you have a really good match, but most of the matches aren't that good. The biggest pops I've seen/heard in years were for guys Vince doesn't like, like Chad Gable, Finn Bálor, Kofi Kingston and Ezekiel (when he was Elias) the people went crazy when those guys got a little push.
Why are we talking to Joey Mercury what is he done nothing
I don't even know who you are at all but I don't judge, go watch ajpw and next with him in it.
Let him go to AEW, then you know who he is
Oh yeah? Like Miro, Shawn Spears, Lance Archer, Jack Swagger, Keith Lee, etc....they've all showed the world what we were missing huh?
My god let him go to aew comment is so stupid the roster is full what's he going to do make one appearance on dynamite then wrestle on dark the rest of his career.
Shinsuke can put on a match has a good presentation and his charisma is what brings him to the table. Mercury never had anything beyond abs and never got over so to each their own.
Why didn't you ask him about the ladder match botch he had with the Hardy's during the ladder match?
Even in New Japan it was hard to tell what he was, what his gimmick was or his purpose. He's an "artist", a rockstar, the King of Strong Style, he likes the outdoor life and he sort of impersonates Michael Jackson. Now, what does that say about him, his personality or his gimmick? Absolutely nothing.
He's a good wrestler (specifically at the Japanese style) with a great entrance. He's had singles and tag team title runs and he's failed to impress every time.
He's getting paid handsomely to go through his motions. Being weird just to be weird doesn't make money in the states. It's been successful artistically in Japan for a long time though. They don't care about storyline as much in their wrestling circles because it's still seen as more sport.
Mexico is kind of a blend of both the United States and Japan. Their luchadors are iconic super heros and they love the huge brawls and the massive spots but they don't need in depth drama nor do they treat it as a sport like futbol, baseball or boxing where things like championships and title defending is super important. The mask and the hair is where the spirit lies and those things make the competitor.
I don't watch WWE or much wrestling anymore actually, so I thought his name was pronounced Shin-Sue-Key
Shinsuke Nakamura needs to go back to New Japan WWE is making him look like a joke. Put him with Heyman as his mouth piece he will be in more main events instead of makeshift tag teams
I miss the 70’s and 80’s.😞
Nakamura's the king of strong style but WWE decided to make him the artist.
Crazy Jim Cornette said the exact thing earlier this week.
People said he was major in Japan but I haven't seen it yet and I too don't get it.
He was the king of strong style in Japan. A rock star that would legit kick your ass with hard strikes. WWE cut the strong style and basically say be a weird Rockstar it doesn't work
From the moment I first saw him, he was like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman. I wish he'd have done that stupid entrance in front of the Rock or Steve Austin back in the day. 😅💀
I don’t get his gimmick either . Whatever works
Joey has a fantastic mind for wrestling.
I still don’t know to this day who is Seth Rollins. He’s had too many transformations. His character to me isn’t appealing at all.
Jim cornette was just talking about this earlier this week on his podcast. He also called him shaky Nakamura. I agree with both I don't get it and he is very shaky
WWE fans aren't even pro wrestling fans, they just like the overproduction and their cartoonist wrestlers, of course they'll never get the amazing talent of Nakamura. Only un ROH, NxT, AAA, AEW, Impact would he ever be appreciated
Ok smark
@@Dxvni thanks I needed that laugh. Smark, love thar. FYI wwe is a few years from selling out to Disney or the next Mega merger
@@SexyUndisputed2All bottom line is wresting is dead. And unless they change the whole direction of wwe then I guess it is a couple of years away from being sold to some major company like Disney.
@@Dxvni wrestling Is more American than Apple pie, but less than Chinese takeout restaurants. It'll always be around but wwe had turned into a carnival ride. It's being set up to ne bought out and they will. Vince don't want to see all his hardwork be turned to mush by the next generation Shane hunter or Steph he'd rather sell and it be like Disney, always gonna have kids want to ride and they live on their past nowadays, why not have grandparents go on to grandkids about how they saw hogan and Austin in their prime, like how talk about how great dimaggio was back then
@@SexyUndisputed2All more American than Apple pie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He hating
He's an artist... but... he's not a musician, not a singer... i don't get it either O_O
Never understood what he was was or what the hype was about either from day one...
Your not the only one, I never got the whole Shinsuke buzz, When he comes on TV it gets turned over
Hes looks like an old Japanese Truck Driver who is whacked out his mind!! I agree, what is this guys deal!!!! WHAT!!
"i dont understand what he is" in one sentence this boomer shows how out of touch he is. Let’s put Nakamura’s career up against Joey Mercury’s career. Nuff said.
Exactly 💯
J@j security
Interesting how he picks the Japanese guy that he doesn't understand.
Sadly, alot of guys go undefined. Like, what is Seth Rollins supposed to be now?
In Nakamura's case, him coming to WWE was more about bringing his already established fanbase with him to a new product. Unfortunately along the way they never explained anything about him to the people seeing him for the first time. But y’know what? The Oddities got over with a catchy entrance theme and zero backstory so who's to say?
Side note, to say there's not VTR? WWE programming is almost 50% flashbacks and replays.
I was thinking the same thing, he chose the talented Japanese guy (who's better than everyone there) but didn't say that about people like Seth Rollins or Becky Lynch and Austin Theory and a few others...I'm actually over here wondering what are they supposed to be.
Well said. I never got what the big deal was about him.
Yeah, sure, I'd rather watch johny nitro carry his ass to a mediocre forgettable match, than matches like shinsuke vs zayn, or shinsuke vs aj
3 words Out of Place
He’s an ex centric artist, it’s true
I don’t get him either, I just know his exaggerated lip movements when he talks is annoying
Shakey Nakamura.
Joey is absolutely right on the money about Nakamura.
except nakamura makes money and joeys retired
Nakamura make money and success and Joey not right!!!!
That guy sucks. I don't care about his past and his Fame in the past. What matters is what he puts and displays and when I saw years ago I just waited for him to fade away
A guy with ZERO talent and doesn't have the look and was mostly a tag wrestler and jobber/mid carder is saying this about someone who has a unique look and talent wherever that he goes, what exactly have Joey Mercury done? Put his weak career up against Shinsuke Nakamura's 🤣 he can't match it AT ALL.
He’s just not that good at this point. He can’t cut a promo. His entrance music is more over than he is. He was great in Japan. He’s not great right now. It’s a combo of bad booking and a dwindling talent.
Shaky Nakamura is a frigging weirdo...yes, Japanese wrestling great, blah, blah blah, but his schtick, his chechona is lame. And that haircut...wtf ..dudes a lateral bone splint at best ..
I bet Nakamura has never heard of Joey Mercury period.
