Nakamura proved himself a long time ago...he is the one that is going to get prematch chants.

Keep Miz with the IC title until Naka gets called, he beats Miz and hold the belt for a year.

 

[Sypress]

After all that superman gay shyt from Michaels and Angle at WM 21, u throwing shade on him hitting a finish? He sold the leg the whole time..lol

No he didn't

Every time he had some offense he no sold the knee

Even the commentators brought it up

 

[Sypress]

I'm normally not bother with the crowd chants but idk but shyt just annoyed the hell out of me tonight with all the chants what happen to just old school cheering.

There was i think only one time he actually sold the knee after using it to hurt Finn. It was my only pet peeves about the match. Why have Finn work over the knee so much if it isn't going to play a bigger role in the outcome of the match.

It would've made more sense if he attacked Finn with the other knee or at least have him sell it a little after doing his finisher before going for the pin. a pet peeve, still a very good match.

They weren't so subtle about it at all on commentary when they mention nakamura's knee working perfectly fine lol

 

[The Rainmaker]

Keep Miz with the IC title until Naka gets called, he beats Miz and hold the belt for a year.

Awesome idea. He knows how to rock and give prestige to an Intercontinental belt

Besides, the thought of Miz getting potatoed/KO by a Boma-ye Kinshasa is

 

[TheGodling]

Balor couldn't even deliver half the match that Sami/Nakamura delivered, and you could tell by how quick that forced 'Fight forever' chant died. Nakamura is a goddamn star though, call him up already because he's being fukking wasted on these small ass crowds.

Nakamura is their ticket seller for tours. Can't afford to lose him right now.
