Shinsuke Nakamura Says He Wasn’t a WWE Fan Growing Up, Talks Working with Samoa Joe

WWE NXT Champ Shinsuke Nakamura was recently interviewed by Channel Guide Magazine. You can check out some highlights from the interview here:

On not being a WWE fan growing up:

“Japan had a huge wrestling culture,” Nakamura. “So I was not really a fan of WWE as a child. It was much different than the Japanese style before. We had foreign wrestlers who came from America, Europe. Everyone from all over also ended up going to WWE. I did like Andre the Giant. I can’t imagine what it would be like to fight with him. I want to fight like him.”

On working with Samoa Joe:

“I know Samoa Joe coming up maybe at 22,” Nakamura said. “I know his technique. He has good technique. He has this rare technique that is strong with not only wrestling, but MMA fighting. I also know similar techniques, so it’s nice to face him in NXT. He is a big challenge.”
