#4 Shinsuke Nakamura (WrestleMania 34)

The King of Strong Style.

Given his current standing in the company, it’s sometimes easy to forget just how special of a performer Shinsuke Nakamura is. He was instantly embraced by the WWE fans when he came to the United States-based company, jumping from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Many Japanese wrestling purists may prefer his old theme song (titled "Subconscious"), but WWE fans immediately took to his extremely awesome new theme, which first debuted when he made his arrival in NXT.

Fans were obsessed with singing Nakamura’s entrance theme every time he made his way down the ramp, so much so that when he turned heel, WWE had to remix his theme in an attempt to stop fans from participating.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

As a babyface heading into WrestleMania 34, the Japanese star was on top of the world. Having won that year’s Royal Rumble match, Nakamura was set to compete in a dream match for the WWE Championship against long-time rival, AJ Styles.

While the match itself was good but failed to live up to its massive hype, Shinsuke’s entrance more than met expectations. Alice Cooper’s guitarist Nita Strauss, flanked by a bevy of violinists, played a rendition of his entrance theme as he made his way to the ring.

Nakamura has never felt like more of a superstar during his main roster run in WWE than he did in this moment. It was a memorable entrance and the best of WrestleMania 34.
