He&#8217;s one of the most talented wrestlers of all time, he&#8217;s had over two decades competing at a world class level, is somehow still in his &#8217;30s, has no injury history&#8230;and yet is seemingly on the outside looking into the world of wrestling in 2026. Alan and Gerard look at what got us to this point, the positives and negatives of Nakajima as a wrestler (and person), the many classic matches, hidden gems that you need to see, and much more. Plus, we try to foresee where things go from here and how he might fare in different environments. Over two hours of great chat and interesting analysis.
