Below are some highlights from the interview:
On meeting the fans:
“I like to see fans, because sometimes they give me their own art, like a painting, a drawing, like doodles,” Nakamura said. “They always tell me, ‘I get inspired from you.’ When I hear that I think I’m doing good.”
On becoming a heel:
“Actually, I’m feeling better than before, because all of my character came from the heel stuff,” Nakamura said. “So when I was in Japan, I was a heel, so I created my moves because I was a heel, so … (I would) use like a stomp to the face and then the vibration, like teasing the opponent.
“So now also a lot of people (are) asking me, ‘So how do you act in the ring like crazy?’ but I think I don’t act, I just adjust. A human being has a lot of sides, like a kind of diversity, so it’s like a good side, a bad side, a crazy side, a normal side, like a man-ish side, a woman-ish side. I just pick, I adjust.”
On why he came to WWE:
“One of the purposes of coming to WWE was to wrestle with Daniel Bryan,” Nakamura explained.
“But now, I’ve got like a high possibility to wrestle with Daniel at like the biggest stage in wrestling history,” Nakamura said. “So I’m so excited.”
