Nakamura is AWESOME......but I hope he stays far away from WWE. Unless they stick him in NXT, there is NO WAY that WWE would have any idea what to do with somebody that talented, and he would have his move set handcuffed as to not make WWE's top stars look bad and boring.
I'm sure they would put him into some offensive storyline where he becomes somebody's "young boy" ala William Regal and Tajiri.

RAAAAAAIIIIINMAAAAKAAAAAH!!
I love both of these guys, but this won't work. I would love mainstream fans to one day accept guys from Japan as anything except a token foreigner, but right now I can't see it. Just imagining a guy the level of Nakamura getting the "WHAT?" treatment makes my blood boil.

Considering nobody else is reporting this, I'm gonna take it with a grain of salt.

Well one they worked a show over in Japan TODAY. Unless Nakamura can teleport....
2, there's absolutely no reason for either man to go to WWE when they're 2 of the biggest stars in NJPW and probably making tons of money.

Devitt grew up watching WWE and had that motivation. KENTA was not making big money as far as I'm aware, NOAH were a sinking ship by 2014. Okada & Nakamura are 2/3 of the biggest names in New Japan and WWE wouldn't be willing to shell out the kind of money New Japan would. It would be cool to see them in WWE but it's not happening.

He makes many valid points. Can't say it's not happening, but the KENTA analogy is completely wrong. Comparing NOAH to NJPW is a huge difference.

As much talent and fame these two have, I feel they would not be a good fit in the WWE.
I hope all the best though.

Sounds good but I'll believe it when we get more info.
How on Earth does anyone here know how much money Japanese wrestlers make?

Hahaha ok.
Okada is one of my very favorite wrestlers in the world right now, but let's get serious. I know he worked for TNA, and that is what it is, but that was also pre Rainmaker. Both those guys are surely making more than a half million a year, probably considerably more with Nakamura, and then you're talking about them moving across the world and stepping out of their celebrity to come make 80K in Orlando... I bet.
