He said while that looked slim initially, it&#8217;s a possibility once again.\u00a0&#8220;But now, I&#8217;ve got like a high possibility to wrestle with Daniel at like the biggest stage\u00a0in wrestling\u00a0history,&#8221; Nakamura tells the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.app.com\/story\/entertainment\/events\/2018\/07\/02\/seth-rollins-wwe-shinsuke-nakamura-iplay-america\/737993002\/\">Asbury Park Press<\/a>. &#8220;So I\u2019m so excited.&#8221; Is the term &#8220;biggest stage&#8221; a hint of a WrestleMania match next year, or is Nakamura using the WrestleMania catch-phrase loosely?<\/p>\n<p>He says his heel turn isn&#8217;t an inauthentic side of him, but rather just another side of him. And he&#8217;s excited about this change of course in WWE.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">&#8220;Actually, I&#8217;m feeling better than before, because all of my character came from the heel stuff,&#8221; Nakamura said. &#8220;So when I was in Japan, I was a heel, so I created my moves because I was a heel, so \u2026 (I would) use like a stomp to the face and then the vibration, like teasing the opponent.\u00a0So now also a lot of people (are) asking me, &#8216;So how do you act in the ring like crazy?&#8217; but I think I don&#8217;t act, I just adjust. A human being has a lot of sides, like a kind of diversity, so it&#8217;s like a good side, a bad side, a crazy side, a normal side, like a man-ish side, a woman-ish side. I just pick, I adjust.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-text\">&#8220;I like to see fans, because sometimes they give me their own art, like a painting, a drawing, like doodles,&#8221; Nakamura said. &#8220;They always tell me, &#8216;I get inspired from you.&#8217; When I hear that I think I&#8217;m doing good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"module-position-Q-efNAcCP5c\" class=\"story-asset image-asset\">\n<p class=\"p-text\"><strong>Read full article\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.app.com\/story\/entertainment\/events\/2018\/07\/02\/seth-rollins-wwe-shinsuke-nakamura-iplay-america\/737993002\/\">HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"p-text\">\n<p><strong>NOW CHECK OUT THIS RECENT PWTORCH STORY:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2018\/07\/02\/rousey-says-shell-be-at-extreme-rules-reacts-to-angle-suspending-her-for-30-days\/\">Rousey says she\u2019ll be at Extreme Rules, reacts to Angle suspending her for 30 days<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3449546955\"><div id=\"pwtor-1359908770\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Shinsuke Nakamura says he came to WWE in part because he wanted to wrestle Daniel Bryan, a former roommate and partner.
