#3 Shinsuke Nakamura
Wonder why we see NXT Star Austin Aries as an announcer these days? This is because, at an NXT live event, The King of Strong Style would accidentally fracture Aries’ orbital bone with a truly devastating kick. One that could have made Aries go permanently blind!
A former Mixed Martial Arts practitioner, Nakamura is known for his stiff style against his opponents.
He had previously also dislocated Samoa Joe’s jaw with his finishing move, the Kinshasa. When he injured Aries, without realising the damage he had done, Nakamura rolled him over on the mat, aggravating Aries’ injury. A bit more caution next time can prevent such massive career-threatening injuries.
Austin Aries is missing out on an opportunity to shine and make his mark on 205 Live, at a time when the division needs stars like him. Strong Style isn’t his best friend!
