| 1 | 01.04.2025 | ModernFamilySlam | 7.0 | Shinsuke is certainly capable of delivering big still, but he doesn't. He was one of the best in Japan during the first decade and a half of this century. When Shinsuke first came to WWE, he was a 9 for me, but the man completely took his foot off the gas and never floored it again in the decade since he arrived. |

| 3 | 31.03.2025 | gabsdavero | 10.0 | It's a 10 for me. Completely underutilised in WWE but do not forget that he was New Japan Pro Wrestling's number 2 guy when he left the company. It's one of those wrestlers that I will always defend no matter what. A technical specimen with an amazing strong style. |

| 6 | 24.03.2025 | Zetz77 | 7.0 | Oh man, this is kinda sad, Nakamura was one of the best wrestlers in NJPW and at the time some there are people saying that he was the best NJPW wrestler, and this was okay to say at the time when NJPW had Omega, Okada, Styles and Tanahashi. Anyways, he goes to NXT, he was still one of the best wrestlers in the world, his NXT run was good, them he debuted in the main roster, what the rivalries he got in his first in year in the main roster, Ziggler ok, Mahal? Ok that it was for the WWE title, anyway its still Jinder f*cking Mahal, Corbin? involved in the horrible rivalry between Owens & Sami VS Shane? He won the Rumble okay that was good, he lost to AJ Styles in a good but kinda disappointing because in NJPW they had a 5 stars match and that when he stopped carrying about everything, It feels like since 2018 every match It was the same moves and spots, they tried literally everything with him and just anything didn't work, oh man, i feel that if he had stay in NJPW and in 2019 had join AEW or maybe if he would be NJPW for life, i think we would talk about him like a "One of the greatest japanese wrestlers of all time". |

| 10 | 15.03.2025 | Keithnelson18 | 7.0 | I love Shinsuke Nakamura, I really do, but WWE really made me not care about him over the last few years. He's had so many reboots and they all failed. It's not really Triple H's fault, it's Vince's fault for not strapping the rocket to him like he did with AJ Styles. He's had possibly the worst title reigns I've ever seen on the main roster. He's only had a few highlights in WWE, including great matches, but some were in NXT. Winning the rumble was a great moment, but he entered at 14 "which is known as the cursed number" and lost at Wrestlemania. |

| 19 | 08.03.2025 | WrestlingReviewer33 | 8.0 | This is pissing me off now.Shinsuke has to be one of the most wasted wrestling talents ever. Writing this just after the 7th March 2025 Smackdown episode and finally an end to his US title run that was diabolical. Didnt see his indie work or much NXT so this is based on his main roster WWE. First of all, when he won Rumble 2018 he should've beat AJ Styles and if not then should've been earlier against Jindler or at Backlash 18' when they had a rematch. Fuck me, it pisses me off so much how this guy gets so wasted. How has not won a WWE World Championship? ! AND NOW THEY HAVE BURIED HIS SATANIC SAMURAI DEMON GIMMICK! WELL DONE WWE! At this point he should go to AEW or TNA and hopefully he don't get wasted there. Overall an amazing wrestler but wasted majorly so overall good but not great. |

| 27 | 20.02.2025 | darkflame4527 | 10.0 | The King of Strong-Style name fits him perfectly. His NJPW run was absolutely legendary, making the Intercontinental Championship so damn prestigious with his matches. Matches against AJ Styles, Okada, Tanahashi, Kota Ibushi etc. were all instant classics. His NXT run was also so damn hype debuting in another classic with Sami Zayn. He won the NXT title twice and got called up. After MITB, man he was fed to dogshit with the Jinder feuds. He won the Royal Rumble and gained back 100% of his momentum. He then LOST against AJ at WrestleMania 34. He never recovered from this. Lackluster midcard title reigns and barely a sniff in the main event. He lost multiple feuds and got a little hope back with his awesome heel gimmick like he was a Yakuza boss. He then lost to Rollins twice for the World Title. He was written off until he became even more demented. Fans got hope and he BEAT LA KNIGHT FOR THE US TITLE! With now people forgetting he's even champion. A legendary career for over a decade with amazing matches and charisma. He has barely survived the main roster, however. TRIPLE H BOOK OUR CHAMPION PLEASE! |
| 28 | 20.02.2025 | Rosya | 5.0 | Don't even suggest me watch his japanese performance Shinsuke had many years ago. Everything Nakamura's shown in the ring since he debuted in WWE is average. All his championship ownerships were nonsense, yet he's been considered to win more, even World Title. It would be an uphill battle to note down at least one good plot including him. On top of that, he did absolutely nothing for WWE to make it better. I dare say the only good about Shinsuke is his music themes and always wondered how such a bland overhyped character got banger songs. |

I see flashes of brilliance but he is so seldom there that it just feels absolutely random whenever he comes up to torture some babyface and this disappear again. It's like he is an actual random encounter. He was the one to take the belt off of LA Knight and so far has really done nothing but effectively sandbag the belt as an entity. |

| 56 | 03.01.2025 | AJN7 | 9.0 | I absolutely LOVE Shinsuke Nakamura. I think it's criminal that he's never won a world title. This current evil samurai character is really cool. Moveset is awesome and so are his promos when he gets to do them in Japanese. Also a legit badass that could of signed with UFC way back in 2005 but chose to pursue professional wrestling instead. |

| 60 | 10.12.2024 | ItsAllAWorkAnyway | 10.0 | Shinsuke Nakamura is the best Intercontinental Champion of all-time. Why? Because he held the title on both sides of the Pacific for the two most prestigious wrestling companies in the world. Often overlooked by his contemporaries in Hiroshi Tanahashi and Kazuchika Okada, Nakamura was someone who the fans demanded to see in New Japan. His work caught the interest of WWE, where he showed up and managed to captivate the audiences with his grand entrances and image. There are a lot of great wrestlers out there, but Nakamura can be any major promotion's #2 wrestler and is in rarefied air as far as upper midcarders are concerned. |

Mir war sein Charakter immer zu langweilig, mir hat das nie was gegeben, auch wrestlerisch gab's für mich wenig. Da mich Strongstyle, also der Fokus auf Schläge/Tritte nie abgeholt hat. Mir gefällt der aktuelle dunkle Twist aber gut, Shinsuke ist in hervorrangender Shape, sein düsteres neues Gimmick und Theme holen mich ab. Den alten Shinsuke hätte ich mit einer 4/10 bewertet, der neue bekommt ne 7/10 von mir. |

| 70 | 14.11.2024 | jawsh810 | | Shinsuke transcends so many superstars on the WWE roster. His style is a refreshing blend compared to the usual style seen on Raw or Smackdown. I have never seen him perform a match and not elevate the match due to his abilities. His promo ability is also super underrated. All around, a very talented performer who could be handled better it utilized to the best of his abilities. His run in 2023 as one of the best heels on Raw deserves a renaissance on Smackdown. Fans love him, all the higher ups need to do is pull the trigger. |

| 79 | 15.10.2024 | BananaOil | 9.0 | Nakamura is the reason why people joke about certain wrestlers retiring when they get signed to WWE. Nakamura went from being the undisputed aura king and one of the best on the planet to being a guy who to the casual audience can best be summed up with the phrase "I don't get the hype." Which you see again and again from people unfamiliar with who he was prior. It really is a shame because he wasn't bad in NXT. Watered down for sure, but he had something there. It was as soon as he hit the main roster and started being micromanaged and put in shitty little 5 minute TV matches with Miz and Jinder that it seemed like his spirit just died. Nowhere in wrestling can this be seen more than when comparing AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestle Kingdom to AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura at Wrestlemania. I'm giving him a 9 cause I've been revisiting his NJPW stuff and he truly deserves that number. If I was looking at just his NXT run I'd say he would be a 7. Main roster run would unfortunately just be a 5. Damn shame. |

Made the intercontinental champion prestigious winning it multiple times. Nakamura oozes with charisma cause he is the king of strong style. Too bad WWE booking was terrible when he joined the main roster. |
