What a match this ought to have been. Both are showmen to the core and I'm sure this match would have been something very special indeed, should it ever have happened in our life time.

Regardless, it's come too soon for Nakamura in his career. I know he's not exactly a young man but he is still crafting what is going to be his lasting legacy. I know that he's am utter superstar in Japan and has done it all there. But Michaels is, simply put, an icon in the world of professional wrestling - a legend and one of the best. I have absolutely no doubt that this match would be a classic but I reckon that Michaels has just enough to get through it.
