Yeah, I get the feeling they care way less than the fans do. This is definitely true. Wrestling is a job, it's a business. These people are lucky enough to get to enjoy their job, but unlike us if they're clock watching each day they have to come in to work they don't sit at a desk, and they get six figures or more for doing it. Nakamura's WWE schedule may have a lot of matches but I bet he'd rather do a two shows per day house show run in Europe than have a twenty minute match with Okada given how stiff Japanese wrestling is. Plus half the time fans complain about a wrestler being 'treated' some way, the wrestlers themselves are responsible for it. Jericho wrote his exit in 2005 that people were so pissed off about, and didn't Lita also come up with Cryme Tyme auctioning off her shit? I know the Jericho one's true from his book but I can't remember the latter one. Either way. Wrestling's fake, the accolades are all just Employee of the Month plaques. Money counts. |

Here's what Meltzer said about Nakamura on WOR. Yep. Exactly what most of us have been saying. He's cruising. Yea as expected and he deserves it. He still wrestles, can still be a top contender with a renewed push but why go overboard when all you want to do is chill and make your money Letting shit just come to him |

All that's left for Asuka is to go back to her beauty salon in Japan and do a Japanese version of the Barbershop movies.

I don't care what he does on my screen personally. |

Sounds like he's doing both given the word "pension" used. Which is good to me, I mean Surfamura would be a great midcard champ. |

Also, on-screen booking is only 1 part of the job. Sure it's the most visible one for us but there is a lot more to being in the WWE than just how many matches you win. A wrestler can be cool hanging out with their friends, traveling and getting a good paycheck which makes them happy enough to stick around. |

Hopefully Nakamura never runs into Ric Flair in the hallway

Yeah, I get the feeling they care way less than the fans do. That's not to say fans are wrong to want better things for them, of course. I think Nak's just happy making the WWE money, surfing and looking at water towers while Asuka just wants to have fun with her friends (she seems really well liked by the other wrestlers) Maggle! This is how I feel as well. Also, I get the feeling Trips is never as upset as people want to believe he is. |

He's been doing this shit since he was like 22 years old and the vast majority of his career was spent working probably the roughest style of wrestling next to deathmatches. He's more than earned the right to take it easy and enjoy life with his family. |

And plus like, Nakamura at half speed is still more captivating with his mannerisms and character work than like more than half the roster. Let that slender boy rest. |

I just imagine the tag team dynamic between Nakamura and Rusev being the latter begging for more opportunities while the former is telling Rusev we don't really need to wrestle on TV this week.

Outside of Styles, don't Joe, Nak, Brock(Adding in the UFC time) & Orton have the most miles out of the main roster? |
