The Man Known as Dan 3,757 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I disagree with that take on Styles would be in the same position as Nakamura very very very strongly. There's a lot of things I can say about Styles, but he never takes a day off. He wrestles every match like it's a big match. Nakamura wrestles every match as if it's "another match he is wrestling in" Link to post Share on other sites
Raziel 8,642 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 The easiest thing to say, is that Nakamura now does the same shit I harp on Tanahashi for, and that's having it firmly in coast if it's not a PPV. Link to post Share on other sites

Godfrey 2,481 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I dig Roman in the ring most of the time, but not so much otherwise. On the other hand, I like everything Nakamura does. Even if some of his big matches haven't lived up to expectations this year, he's all around a better performer. Besides, I'll take YeaOH! over OoWAH! any day. Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie M. 1,849 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Voted Roman on instinct but I could see the case against him this year. He missed time. His Mania match sucked. And the Rusev matches underdelivered. Link to post Share on other sites

Craig H 14,056 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Ugh...I don't want to vote for Reigns in this matchup, but he had the better year, even with the totally shitty main event with HHH at WM. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DylanWaco 182 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I saw Nakamura live too many times to rate him over Reigns. On the other hand I might be the higher on Nakamura v. Roode than anyone on Earth so there is that Link to post Share on other sites

Sublime 982 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 This match up is hard for odd reasons, Roman almost always brought the goods in matches but I wasn't actually interested or anticipating his matches, while I was always interested and anticipating Nakamura's matches they sometimes weren't up to the level they could have been. Roman has the matches but he lacks the connection. Also even with his less polished english Nakamura is a better promo in that he sounds sincere, confident and non-scripted while the Big Dog almost always sounds like he is reading lines some one else wrote. I'm going with Nakamura but it was way closer than I would have thought a year ago. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Spritenaut 32 4,589 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 It's mind-blowing to realize Roman is actually a decent worker and quite possibly had a better year than Shinsuke. His fatal flaw is being unable to connect to his audience. Link to post Share on other sites
jstout 2,819 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 His fatal flaw is they haven't turned him heel yet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
