I’ve never seen Nakamura “phone it in.” Don’t watch every week, obvs, but whenever I see him I see a dude in the moment working exactly how he needs to work.
He’s not punching a dude as hard as he can in the fucking neck anymore. But his timing, facial expressions, how smooth some of his shit looks — he’s sublime. As far as his choices go in the ring (say what you want about his look, size, booking, the language barrier, etc.), does he have a single flaw?
The guy doesn’t look lazy at all. He always looks like he’s there to be in a fight. Del Rio seemed almost hypnotized half the time. Del Rio was silky smooth too, but nowhere near as good as Naks.
