5 reasons Shinsuke Nakamura is the best wrestler in the world

#2 His matches

Nakamura has been a part of more Match of the Year candidates this year than most have in an entire career.

Including his IWGP Intercontinental Championship match against AJ Styles at WrestleKingdom X this past January, Nakamura has been a part of no less than four 2016 Match of the Year candidates. The match with Styles, as well as his encounters with Samoa Joe, Finn Balor and Sami Zayn could all be called Match of the Year, without it being questioned too seriously.

No matter who Nakamura is in there with, there is always the potential for a show-stealing match. Nakamura knows how to pace himself to be able to compete in a match all night if he has to, and his storytelling ability is paramount. If a fan is going to a show and Shinsuke Nakamura is on it, that fan is not going home disappointed.
