[8.0] "This guy is smooth as butter in the ring, has an excellent set of kicks that build well to his question mark kick finish that he's been using recently, and can work with just about anyone else. He's got charisma to spare that you wouldn't immediately expect just by looking at him, and although there's a few things I don't like in his normal routine (mostly the hang-in-the-ropes-sort-of-headbutt counter he does that just... doesn't look very good, and whose only joke is "he's bald so he uses his head"). I honestly think he's just one big match or program away from getting out of mid card purgatory."
[8.0] "Nakamura is back from his injury and better than ever. He appears to have spent the last year and a half in a lab inventing new wrestling moves, and theyre all really cool. Every time he comes back from injury hes improved, but I really really hope that hes back for good now. Hes such a creative wrestler, with so much personality. I want to see him in a faction, I want to see what he does as he settles in more and gets more matches in. I was afraid after the last injury that hed be gone permanently and so was really happy he came back. I just hope his body cooperates with him."
[7.0] "I absolutely love Keigo Nakamura. He's only been in the business for around a year and a half, but he's already got a well-established character and a fun moveset. I think this guy is going to be a mainstay at DDT for a long time."
[7.0] "It surprises me that a wrestler with a year's experience, raised as the ultimate loser, has given me more emotions in all this time than some of the "favorite wrestlers" in WWE. And there is a special magic in it. Keigo doesn't pretend to great heights, constantly loses, is perceived as a joke, and because of this, he surprises more when you need to show a stellar performance. Nakamura is immensely good in multi-sided matches, when you need something to shock and be as bright as possible. I called him, I call him, and I continue to call him the new Michael Nakazawa, but this only concerns the status and positioning in the roster. Keigo definitely has an identity of his own that can make him a true DDT mascot."
[8.0] "Another Wrestler who I may give a higher rating to as he continues down his career. Keigo definitely can sell and some of his moves are pure beauty, like his corner lionsault. However, he's barely into his career at this point, and the pieces aren't all there. However, I see a bright hope in the future with Keigo Nakamura. He's also got a nice 10 out of 10 ass. EDIT: How could I sum up Keigo with just his in ring skills? This dude is simply amazing at comedy. He's got perfect facial expressions and he's one of the best butt monkey's I've ever seen! He's a gem whether he's in a duel with Antonio Honda, or being used as a prop in one of Sanshiro Takagi's brawls. Keigo is a treasure!"
