1) Shinsuke Nakamura Has Too Many Nicknames
This weeks episode of Smackdown Live was kicked off with the ‘Highlight Reel’ hosted by United States Champion: Kevin Owens. His guest was Shinsuke Nakamura.
Nakamura was introduced by Owens as both “The Artist” and “The Rockstar”….
they really need to pin down a nickname for Nakamura. One week its ‘The artist’ the next ‘king of strong style’ now ‘the rockstar’ #SDLive

You can call him the “Artist” or “Rockstar” all you want, I’ll always call him “The King of Strong Style!” Shinsuke Nakamura! #SDLive

@WyzaNow I need to know the story behind calling Nakamura an artist and rockstar or is it just one of WWE gimmicks

Why couldn’t he just have stayed as the ‘King of Strong Style’??
2) Pyro Added To Nakamura’s Entrance
Speaking of unnecessary things and Shinsuke Nakamura… WWE seems to have added some pyro to his entrance.
It is unclear if they are testing it out or this will be a permanent change moving forward:
That fake pyro is so unnecessary in Shinsuke Nakamura’s entrance. No need for it, just like the multiple nicknames. #SDLive

Nakamura doesn’t need the pyro @WWE his entrance is perfect as it is. #SDLive

Will take some time to get used to if this is a permanent change.
