Best and Worst of SmackDown Live After SummerSlam

#3 Worst: Shinsuke Nakamura's promo

I honestly preferred the 'No Speak English' approach

I get that Nakamura is trying his best. English isn't his first language, and it is commendable how far along he's come. But at the same time, does he need to cut promos at all? He is difficult to understand and I don't think they help his character.

Gonna be honest, I didn’t get a single word of that Nakamura promo. #SDLive

I think the Nakamerica approach is also trying way too hard. Nakamura should be portrayed as a serious, powerful champion, preferably one with a manager or an advocate.
