#4 Shinsuke Nakamura
Trending
Remember when Shinsuke Nakamura had one of the greatest entrances in the game? Watch the above with one of his great New Japan Pro Wrestling entrances at Kizuna Road 2012.

Besides an epic entrance, Shinsuke Nakamura is considered one of hard-hitting and intense competitors to ever step foot in New Japan. The stiffness of his strikes and movements in the ring was inherited over time in a style that developed before the fans' eyes. Nakamura is also among the most prolific competitors in New Japan Cup history, with 7 appearances to his name.
The appearances are not the only thing that makes Nakamura's legacy in the Cup special. After a grueling, bloody victory in the New Japan Cup 2014 Finals over Bad Luck Fale, Shinsuke became the first winner of the Cup to decide to challenge for a title that wasn't the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
Nakamura wanted vengeance, instead of the top prize in NJPW, challenging the man who defeated him in the Tokyo Dome at WrestleKingdom 8- IWGP Intercontinental Champion Hiroshi Tanahashi.
Nakamura got his revenge and also became only the third winner of the New Japan Cup to become a new champion, defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi to regain his IWGP Intercontinental Championship.
