WWE Star Shinsuke Nakamura recently appeared on an episode of Renée Paquette's Oral Sessions podcast, where he discussed Kazuchika Okada and Kota Ibushi being the top two Stars in NJPW who have potential to carry the company and to finally show they could be bigger stars.
Nakamura said, “I think still Okada.” “Kota Ibushi, he’s going to be a bigger star. Finally, he’s trying to show his responsibility.”
Nakamura then talked about Yuji Nagata being one of his mentors and how Nagata's match against Moxley on Dynamite was interesting to watch.
Nakamura said, “It was very interesting to watch.” “Nagata-san was one of my Japanese mentors. In Japanese customs, experienced wrestlers have [a] young boy. I was Nagata’s young boy."
“I prepared his wrestling gear. I’d wash his wrestling gear. I was his ice boy. Still, he has great condition.”
Nakamura then talked about who he wants to wrestle when he decides to retire.
Nakamura said, “I wanna wrestle Tanahashi again.” “Also, I wanna wrestle a rising star, like a new guy. I don’t know yet.”
