Wyld Samurai Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Gary Hart would have been a menacing choice... as long as he left the 80s in the 80s. Gary Hart vs Paul Heyman would have been a mad fun family feud. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The key is someone playing up what a big deal he is. That he is no mere Japanese wrestler, but a true artist and entertainment icon. Someone who could really lay it on thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're asking for someone to lay it on thick how big a star he is, how he's a true artist and entertainment icon and not "just" a wrestler- then you suddenly get the sinking realization that if Enzo Amore didn't flame out like he did, he would have been perfect in the role.

Victator Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Enzo can only get himself over and could only do one promo. Likely Nakamura is not going to get a manager or whatever WWE calls it. Of people there, Lana might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sydneybrown Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 God, all these Nakamura choices are so fucking horrible. All they would do is get the manager over. It's like when Cesaro picked Heyman as a mouthpiece and spent the entire time standing in the background. Or when Dutch Mantel got more over than Jack Swagger ever did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I don't know why but the idea on Nak and Mr. Fuji doing dueling evil laughs on a heel promo makes me smaile James 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 6 hours ago, Victator said: I think he also needs underlings. One a wrestling weeaboo, who gushes over everything Nakamura does good or bad and a native Japanese guy who outright hates Nakamura but as long as the checks clear, he listens. In my empty hollow head, I envision Drew Gulak and Kenta in these roles. I know its a running gag around here, but Robert Fuller would make a good Nakamura manager. I would take anyone but Paul Heyman who is as shitty as Brock has been this year. Same promo every week with same inflection. He did seem motivated by Joe and Braun. After reading all of this, I think Gulak is probably the best choice for Nak's mouthpiece. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenalysis Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'd give Nak a white Miho Abe who just fawns over him and treats him like a sex symbol. If they could talk, I'd have her try to make the crowd feel sexually inadequates- call them all incels or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boydy Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 What about Funaki or that Yamaguchi guy who managed Kai-En-Tai back in the day would be a good manager for Nakamura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodear Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Go all in and get yourself a white woman who fawns all over him as he ignores her and uses her as a shield. There is nothing wrong with the classics. Summer Rae would have been great for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Blue Sam Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The best choice for Nakamura's manager would be to find where Jamison is nowadays, and have him each week whining to Paige about how Nak should be champion. "You aren't using him correctly. Have you not seen his New Japan stuff? Of course he isn't putting in much effort when he's stuck facing the likes of Jinder every week" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 Per Meltzer - the Saudi Arabian prince who wanted the WWE show (basically the whole reason for this deal in the first place), when originally talking to Vince said the three people who wanted on the show where "Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna" A-yup EDIT - More fun - the reason Lawler and JR were there was because the Prince wanted "the announcer with the crown and the announcer with the black hat" So basically the money mark is a RSPW poster 4 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm all for "Yoko" working the Saudi tour if it gets Ryota Hama into the WWE. On the Saudi shows, he can pull double-duty: work as Yokozuna in one match, impersonate Rikishi in another. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted April 30, 2018 Author Share Posted April 30, 2018 I am just mentioning this here for the broader point The WWE conference call to investors is going on and they officially announced that they will go to a tiered WWE Network model No details or anything just a "we are going to do this" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
