#3 Shinsuke Nakamura

Bow down to the King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura

Shinsuke Nakamura is a controversial figure in WWE, almost as much as Brock Lesnar is. However, in Nakamura's case it stems not from part-time status, but mid-card status. Many fans believe Nakamura should be in the main event picture or at least much higher on the card than he is.

How did Nakamura fare in 2019?

Win/Loss Record: With 12 wins and a staggering 24 losses, Shinsuke has seen better years. Grade: D

Championships: Shinsuke Nakamura reigned as the Intercontinental Champion for half of the year. Not bad, but it's still just a mid-card belt. Grade: B.

Mass Media Appeal: Shinsuke Nakamura is a household name in his native Japan, but not many in other parts of the world other than wrestling fans can identify him on sight. Grade: C-

Industry Influence: Many have tried to copy Nakamura's artistic grace, with varying degrees of success, but he remains a unique individual. Grade: B+

Overall Grade: C+ Shinsuke wound up having only a so-so year, despite a lengthy reign as IC Champion.
