There aren't enough heels out there doing heelish things. The point is not to get the crowd to cheer you on, but get them to hate you and Shinsuke Nakamura did something quite brilliant this week.
Shinsuke Nakamura joined the commentary desk and spoke in Japanese whenever he was asked a question, much to the chagrin of fans. We all know that he understands English fluently and can even speak it confidently, to an extent, which made this act even funnier and even more annoying.

I could be wrong but I'm guessing that in a sense this was a shot from WWE at fans who watch Japanese wrestling, even if they cannot necessarily understand the promo work. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but if the G1 did indeed inspire the King of the Ring tournament, this is not too far-fetched a supposition in my estimation.
Anything that helps Nakamura is fine by me, honestly!
