#violin
You can tell Shinsuke really loves this entrance music. And you can tell he loves and respects the hell out of the violinist.
Yeah Lee's a super fiddle player.
Who country this wrestling show
@@golagold9610 Japan
Ever since his original debut, this music just gives everything to Shinsuke's whole character.
The deep bow. Just holy shit he went deep.
This is Lee England Jr.'s fourth time performing Shinsuke's theme live for his entrance. The first time was at TakeOver: Brooklyn II on August 20, 2016. The second time was for Nakamura's main roster debut on SmackDown, April 4, 2017. The third time was at SummerSlam 2017. This man has become an integral part of every high profile Nakamura match.
The NXT one was the best one
Also Lee being cheered in Japan where people are in a very high level on violin, a well deserved recognition
So whenever Lee is involved, we can expected a Nakamura banger
@@bramibrahim7636 Basically yeah
As he should be.
Why can't we present this man like this in WWE? He is charisma, should have been a heavyweight champion
It's been played out in WWE already that's why. Just needs a break for moment.
he's been already presented that way, didn't work.
It wasn't him that didn't work, it's the stupid idiots watching that company that didn't work.
Wwe racist man
That because Vince purposely pushed him to the moon because he was too far over with fans, so once he lost to Jinder made him lose momentum he had. At the royal rumble was to put the final nail to the coffin to his character that led to him losing at WrestleMania and they changed his theme song so fans won't sing it or interact in any way. Shinsuke will never will reach the world championship in WWE unfortunately. Especially when he in his 40s and stacked roster. Basically WWE missed the boat for him, at least we got Gunther because Vince was going break up the Imperium and burry Gunther.
This man truly has one of the BEST theme/entrance songs of ALL TIME in the Wrestling business
What, looking like a stupid ass who's having a heart attack in both movement and facial expressions?
True
Graveyard Symphony better than this
absolutely true!!! one other i absolutely adore is the entrance music of Masato Tanaka
It's not even the best entrance song he's used.
This is how nakamura should be making his entrance on every big 4 PPV, idrc if it’s repetitive, gives me chills everytime
If a mid carder gets an entrance like this every time what would you expect from the top guys like Roman, Rollins, Lashley, Brock, Orton
@@atifeochuko9665 none deserve entrances like that except Bobby
@@atifeochuko9665 he shouldn’t be a mid card guy tho.. dude should’ve been a top star like AJ since they both came over
@@Romanj28 then WWE should release him so he can return to New Japan where the language barrier won't hold him back and he can perform at the level he should be
@@gaz-atollahofrockandrolla7519 I 100% agree with you, wwe needs to release him
2:10 I'm glad Nakamura still maintains the same respect for the violinist as he did in his Smackdown debut entrance
I NOTICED THAT TOO! ultimate duo
if you watch closely at 1:40 the violinist is off with the music he isnt even playing he is there for show
@@dosweirdnessvenom9495 it’s lag from the video. Jr more than likely played this part. The rest….nah because of the audio
Sir Lee England Jr.
@@dosweirdnessvenom9495 i mean the audio playing is of either a cello or a bass..
Shinsuke hasn’t felt this big of a deal in such a long time and it feels refreshing. WWE needs to push him again and put that title on him everyone loves him
Shinsuke vs Gunther @ Wrestlemania for the IC title should be awesome.
Shin is on a retirement contract, he wants his time in WWE to be easier than it was in Japan. He's 42, by comparison, John Cena is 45
@@Ghost-fc9hw Cena went part-time relatively early because he had Hollywood to fall back on (something Shinsuke doesn't - he's voiced no interest in an acting career yet, let alone getting an actual movie role). Bobby Lashley, meanwhile, got his first WWE Championship run at 45. Nakamura still has time to get a world title run in the bag before he retires, and he can still go in the ring on a main event level too.
@robloxcool88 He's expressed no interest in doing so however, as like I said, he's already on a retirement contract, something Lashley wasn't on either when he was 45.
That taiko drummer needs to be featured more often for Nakamura’s entrances; it adds a little something extra special to his entrances and blends really well with the violinist!
Nakamura got that Wrestlemania style entrance
This event is Noah's WrestleMania so it makes sense
Dude even Japanese wrestling does this kind of things it’s not only American wrestling get out of your tiny bubble
He deserves that for his normal entrance.
@@shermandudley5548 I thought Noah's Wrestle Mania was either Departure (The anniversary show) or The Great Voyage.
Best entrance in Pro Wrestling I’ve seen in 50 years
The blend of styles in this entrance made it magical. We truly witnessed Nakamura's real raw talent and swagger. The violinist makes it even better.
I was so excited to see it was Lee performing with him again! Those two clearly have a connection, and I'd love to see Lee come through once a year for the big matches. 💗
They've done this before already
@@foxbear60 man Ik the first part he played before he played nakamuras themes from a game if u know what game tell me cause it’s driving me crazy
I miss NJPW Nakamura but it's understandable why he moved to wwe
@@alpacapines8553 heres to hoping that he comes back I really hope that he leaves wwe and comes home.
He really is the modern day Keiji Mutoh The mannerisms, the flare, being so obsessed with the uniqueness of their own style. It's easy to not understand just how well these 2 compliment each other side by side. We talk a lot about passing the torch nowadays, and this match was unfortunately remembered for things that happened afterwards, but if you gave me a time machine and said to pick the 2 perfect opponents in all of wrestling, I'd be hard pressed to find 2 guys from Japan that should be in the wrong together more than these 2
What happened afterwards ??
Basically mutoh said something that enrage twitter
@@nurandika4563 so nothing that bad huh?
I agree with you but you got me thinking of the 4 pillars.
@@ismaelsonlins5824Well, Mutoh called Nakamura a “faggot” in his post-match promo
Not the biggest WWE fan but I’m happy to see their talent being allowed to participate worldwide. HHH is doing a great job tho and I’ve been slowly coming back.
The commentator did a FANTASTIC job of treating Nakamura like a living legend, especially when he officially stepped into the ring. If only WWE would treat Shinsuke like this again. Thanks to HHH for allowing this moment to happen; a true once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I mean HHH gave him the green light to go
@@Nug223 bro literally said that in his comment
he did fumble by calling him a former 2-Time WWE Next champion rather than NXT but you can’t be perfect
@@elliotxvx it was on purpose.
@@s1lun I read that in Riddle voice lol.
Maybe for just one more time we get to experience this version of Shinsuke Nakamura again. Magical.
I do think he retires in Japan. I'd be shocked if we don't see him in New Japan one more time
?
I do hope he can complete the wwe grand slam before that happens, he just need the wwe title. Cool fact, he won 3 of the 4 title in extreme rules ppv
I hope Shinsuke Nakamura coming to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
VINCEEEEEEE YOU WILL PAY
He needs an entrance like this in WWE, it’s not about giving him a title. It’s about building attractions. No one wrestles like him either. It’s like how you had Kane or Undertaker. No titles, just star players.
This announcer is so energetic and passionate during Shinsuke's entrance, I like it.
Imagine if Vince was still in charge, we would've never have witnessed this amazing spectacle that is Shinsuke Nakamura vs The Great Muta. Thank you HHH for making this happen
Vince did allow Kenta to wrestle as Hideo Itami for one night against Marfuji in '16 to close out their rivalry .
@@PatFussy069 yh that's true but shinsuke said that he wasn't allowed to do it but when Vince retired NOAH asked him to ask again and he was allowed to
@@PatFussy069 That was papa H
@@mangomanftw5538 lmao grow ass person Who calls him Papa Lmaoo Funny shit 😹
@@Barbaresantana i call him papa h 🥺
I get the same feelings and goosebumps I got when he made his entrance for his match against Sami Zayn in NXT.
It is TV 🤣. You should get goosebumps that we sending n@zi Ukraine billions and our border is wide open
Same it's so hype
That match was SO SO GOOD
I was there for that entrance and it was INSANE!
That was the match that got me back into wrestling after 10+ year hiatus
I'm way too late for this, but this intro of Nakamura-san and Mr. England, Jr. is one of the most thrilling entrances I think we've all witnessed in any wrestling promotion, right now.
Nakamura hasn’t felt this much like a star in years
Goosebumps hearing his WWE theme in other promotion.
Triple h change the rules
I just hope the publicity gets him booked better in WWE.
@@objectionheresay9668 I'm surprised they said WWE SUPERSTAR so he's on 'loan'? cuz if he says FROM NEW JAPAN TO WWE NOW IN NOAH would probably be he's here for good until his contract expires! Now that Inoki has passed R.I.P. we can start using other talent GO BACK TO TERRITORY DAYS WITH THE WORLD AS 1 TERRITORY!
@@juggawest Territories are kinda still a thing. Milwaukee still gets local matches from Beer City Bruiser regardless of whether he was still on ROH or not.
Almost surreal. 5 years ago that would have been absolutely impossible. It's so great that the promotions start to acknowledge each other and allow working relationships.
It's not just an entrance, it's a magnificent spectacle
Is there truly any better way to present Shinsuke Nakamura to the world? So beautifully played.
This is how wrestling should be, promotions working together sending talent to each other to watch each other grow
I like when they do it every now and then feel special
@@prod.gregupnext2958 of course, you never wanna over do something like this but it’s definitely cool to see inter promotional partnerships, hope WWE and AEW can do something similar in the future
Thank you WWE for granting this special moment of pro-wrestling.
Magic. Thank you Muta. Thank you Nak. Thank you Pro Wrestling Noah. Thank you WWE and Triple H.
Thanks to triple h if Vince was still in charge he wouldn’t let this happen
why are you thanking WWE? their contracts are garbage... You should be calling for wrestlers to start a union. Not slobbing on VKM knob
@@Notoriouswrestlingfan12314 yet ur porecious Triple H still has him in catering like a joke. WWE stil, a shbithole and Triple H is just vince 2.0 literally nothing has changed
@@Notoriouswrestlingfan12314 If Muta won while he was in charge, Nakamura would be fired
GOOSEBUMPS!!! LITERAL GOOSEBUMPS!!! THIS is how WWE NEEDS to present Nakamura as once again
Wasting money, even Roman not receiving that honour every match he got while champion... Talk about bland wrestler.
@@RobertBaraheon bro I'm a WWE guy too, but c'mon Nakamura was once champion and they fumbled the ball with him instead of just giving him the Goldberg-type booking by just letting him wrestle rather than insisting on him doing promos in a language foreign to him and even going so far as to be racist with the Jinder Mahal exchange being such an overt example of that. Or even if they had just given him the same booking as the one from NXT anyone who is anybody wouldn't have complained. Plus, his entrance was and always will be fire - they just gots to give it the intro back
@@markanthonylo4759 could only blame Vince he’s gonna be used great when he is given things to do
@Mark Anthony Lo i think shin is cool with his status in wwe, has even gone on record saying it's not as grueling as the Japan style so he have a longer career ,I wouldnt be suprised if he does become a wwe world champ in the future
I always thought his debut entrance against Sami was the best. That film reel silhouette part was so fucking cool, one of the most unique entrances I've seen. No reason why that couldn't be his standard entrance, no need for flashy pyro or anything.
That drum beat really added something special to this entrance
One of the greatest things to witness…. Nakamura entrance is greatness… He is one of one
入場シーンだけで泣ける。神になって帰ってきた。
That entrance feels like a Take Over entance.
This is the best entrance for this year I'd say...Nakamura respect to this music am a big fun really...awesome
I always love when Shinsuske gets played live into the ring. Lee England Jr is great at it and it’s a shame they’ve only worked together a few times. The mania entrance with Nita was legendary and I get the exact same feelings as Pat McAfee when he had Boogs playing the guitar on the way out.
So glad they included Lee with this magical entrance! His violin accompanying Shinsuke to the ring just made this moment all the more special
My god, imagine the package of Nakamura w Lee England Jr on violin, Boogz on guitar and McAfee going nuts on commentary. STAR!
Nah, keep Boogz away. He'd drown out Lee's violin. The same thing with McAfee. Shinsuke's entrance is better when Pat isn't going nuts every 5 seconds.
I always appreciate when Shinsuke brings Lee England Jr. with him! According to my phone's translation of the Japanese captions, the drummer's name is Shinsuke Ikewaki. And of course, Shinsuke once had a fantastic opening with Nita Strauss on guitar. It would be great to feature all these artists together!
Why WWE always despises fighters who have gigantic potential.
Turning a ring entrance into a work of art.
Shinsuke nakamura nxt
❤
This gives me tears of joy. 😂 Being allowed to compete in another promotion, for Great Muta's final match, entrance theme & all. Triple H just keeps on doing right by the business. Can't thank him enough for it.
Triple H loves wrestling and is always open to honor living legends like Muta.
this is cool as hell, but it also just makes me sad that Nakamura isn't a main event talent here in America like he was - and still is - in Japan. it's been so, so long since I've seen him given that kind of big event energy
WWE have watered down the NJPW version of Nakamura.
@@Mandykaur. maybe that’s what he wanted
Shinsuke is a maim event talent though. He won the royal rumble and eliminated Roman Reigns, he has won every single title in WWE except for the world title and he has headlined a Wrestlemania. All WWE needs to do is cement his legendary status by giving him a world title run
I hope he comes back to NJPW for one last run. A retirement match against Okada. I also need Shibata to have one more WrestleKingdom match.
@2Good2BeTrue45 He lost to jinder mahal and had a crappy fued with AJ styles, its like roman reigns loses to Ludwig Kaiser and then has another dog fued match with baron corbin
I cant believe that Violinist are Lee England Jr. this is like Reunion of S.Nakamura and Lee England Jr from Smackdown live debut すごいですよね！！！
it’s been how many years and his entrance still gives me goosebumps man wow
He gives a bruce lee vibe too
This is the way shinsuke nakamura needs to be presented in WWE, and he deserves a WWE championship run
They tried. Majority of American crowds just don’t care about Shinsuke
i like how well he plays his character during performance. he's a good wrestler and very entertaining to watch!
Wow! SHINSUKE got the bomb welcome back entrance!! So glad Hunter, Stephanie and WWE let him do this for a legend like the Great Muta!!!
Nobody on this planet has more swagger than Shinsuke Nakamura. I want to see this match so badly. The Great Muta/Keiji Mutoh is my all-time FAVORITE talent to come out of Japan, and Shinsuke is in my top 3, with 2nd place going to Ultimo Dragon. I'm thinking about paying for the service JUST for this match.
it's cheaper then NJPWWORLD, if i remember Wrestle Universe is 799 Yen, and you get DDT Pro, Tokyo Joshi, Ganbare and NOAH. While NJPWWORLD is 999 Yen and you onl get NJPW and it's affliates. (CMLL, AEW but only outside the US, NJPW STRONG)
Lol ok
That entrance gave me goosebumps
Nakamura is Top tier, I’m still surprise he hasn’t had a run at least with that toy belt they call Universal championship. Such magic and majestic esence in one man truly fascinating 💪🏽❤️🔥
I love that they brought the opening part of his entrance back
This just amazing to see. HHH I can’t thank you enough for letting this happen 😁. He even has his theme from the WWE 😊.
I just hate what they did to Nakamura in WWE, he was probably the biggest wrestler NXT ever had, then he goes to Smackdown where he’s the biggest thing....for about 1/2 a year and wins the Royal Rumble, then he loses multiple matches to AJ Styles and just becomes a midcarder ever since
Goosebumps seeing them perform live every time. Even more dope with the drums! Lee is dope af
Such a beautiful entrance. Never thought I would get so hyped when I hear that violin drop 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥
It feels weird seeing theme using their WWE theme in a different promotion,thank you HHH for the cooperation
The entrance was PERFECT
他は？
There’s just way too much about this I love, the slow buildup with the beautiful tune before, the applause when Lee England Jr strummed the first two notes, or just hearing that beautiful theme again, and the amazing bow of respect between two legends, I’ll take your entire stock NOAH
Love this dude's ring entrance. Truly original 👊🏿.
Thank you HHH for letting this happen!
Oh man!!! The vibes were magical! I missed this version of Shinsuke Nakamura 🤩🤩. Lee on the violin is stupendous per usual. The goosebumps I get when I hear this tune and see it being performed live are outta this world ✨✨🤩
So clean.. absolutely amazing.. dude has one of the best entrances in wrestling..
I love that he's using this theme again. Its so perfect
I loved this match so much, classic wrestling psychology & good technical skills. The Great Muta & The King of Strong Style showing us you don't need to do crazy career ending moves constantly to put on a great match.
This is amazing to witness as it really feels like all of pro-wrestling are one and there are no borders.
That's exactly how it was during the territory days. You saw all the wrestling greats in every promotion. I really miss the 70's and 80's of wrestling.
Shinsuke deserves a monumental push. I'd love to see him have one last major title run where he holds the title for over a year, defending against the greatest talents of this generation.
No matter how many tines I hear that song, I get chills.
We need this at Wrestlemania 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For the big belt like he deserves!
Hearing the Japanese crowd really gave me goosebumps like no other
I always get goosebumps listening to Nakamuras theme song😍😍
We need world heavyweight champion shinsuke Nakamura
I don’t care how old he is. Give him one of the WWE heavyweight titles.
No benefit
Should've let him win it five fucking years ago when he was as hot as the sun.
@@youngdolo8 supposedly vince saw no monsy in him smh
This gave me goosebumps from the start of the entrance, it's so good! Shinsuke needs this entrance back
Nakamura needs to add all of this to his WWE version. The drums, the white robe, the arm wrap.
its amazing how he can be in a company where he doesnt matter at all, and in an instant when he is not in WWE he can just flip the switch and be the biggest star in the building.
This is the Shinsuke Nakamura that we need at Wwe
Ah yes. His WWE Next title Reign was great
Right! I forgot how good WWE Next was haha 😂😂😂
He is a legend, he is a masterpiece, he is a all time best wrestler
Ngl the way the drummer let's the violin breath and play when he knows to enhance it is beautiful
The fact that HHH didn’t have to let him do this and he DID!!!! Amazing
i mean this is the same guy who brought in Jushin Lyger to NXT. He understands the significance, Great Muta/Keiji Mutoh is retiring, and for his last match in NOAH he wants to face Shinsuke Nakamura. Why would Triple H say no, especially with all the goodwill he's already built with NOAH?
@@supersasukemaniac I keep forgetting he got Liger that one time
The King 👑 of Strong Style
That entrance was phenomenal
His entrance music always gives me goosebumps
Now I wanna see wrestle back in Japan again full time. This was refreshing to see. Much love from Tampa, FL 💪🏾💯❤️
I like seeing him where his talents are appreciated. Best intro ever.
This entrance made shinsuke feel like a superstar.
The botch of Him taking off the hoodie took out some momentum😭😂, But still a 🔥entrance though!
this must have been so goof for him to be home and in this match. so happy. that entrance hit me so hard i have tears in my eyes lol
Nakamura's 2 time reign as the next champion was something else I miss those days.
I luv that they brought back the same violinist 🔥
Love how they bow to eachother that's dope
Another new year and new begin..shinsuke entrance music is so spectacular crazy😆
Not gonna lie I got goosebumps outta no where when shinsuke came out. What an entrance!
入場だけで金が取れるレスラー... カッコよすぎる...
Just one word to describe this GOOSEBUMPS
His theme song...always gives me goosebumps🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
While it's wild to see Nakamura in NOAH at all, I do hope one day soon he makes his return to New Japan. That'll be a special day
He's living now in America for good,
@@KuchingKingVideoGamer that's not how that works
@@Skeeeewoah the story is Nakamura has moved his family to the states and they’re all very happy there. He doesn’t plan to leave wwe anytime soon and is content to pick up a pay cheque until he retires. Genuinely sounds like he’s got nothing left he wants to achieve, just wanting to get paid and have fun rather than build upon his legacy. Keep in mind said report was made over 5 years ago and his contract has been renewed twice in that time, so seems like it had a point. That’s before we even get to the point where he was quite vocal about the number of older past their prime talent in the njpw main event scene when he was first coming onto the scene. His passion for this point was obvious, so I doubt he’s gonna take up that spot now. The only way I see him returning for njpw is if them and wwe choose to work an agreement like this out for Tanahashi or Naito’s retirement tour.
I have been saying since last year that Nakamura needs to be in the G1 CLIMAX 33 tournament. Hopefully, there will be members of all the major promotions in the G1 next year. I think Danielson or Claudio will do the G1 this year as well
@@TwizzlerC I need Gunther and Nakamura in the next G1 CLIMAX!
Thank you, Triple H dreams do come true when one promotion can participate with another promotion this is what we’ve been waiting for years and years Mr. Triple H🏆🏆🙏
Bit like AEW have been doing for years 😂
@@FrozenSurf cmon bruh im an AEW fan but HHH really came through with this and gives us hope that one day we could see these major companies (AEW, WWE, NJPW, NOAH, etc.) work together
