Other people's views (cagematch etc):
Nakajima is no doubt one of the best wrestlers today. He has everything in-ring wise, timing, selling, psychology, ability to create dramatic moments, everything. He has the ability to get the best out of every opponent he faces, no matter who. His current run with the Aggression has been excellent and he has had loads of MOTYC tag matches to go along with his excellent single matches.
The odd one out when it comes to pupils of legendary 90s puroesu stars (KENTA, Marufuji, Go, etc. ) as Nakajima was the student of Kensuke Sasaki. That said I can't honestly say he has the star power that his contemporaries have, but I can say his talent is at least equal to them. He isn't as charismatic as Go, not as athletic as Marufuji nor does he have the intensity of KENTA, but he is much more tactical and ruthless than them. It all makes sense since he is literally called the "Genius of the kick". His chance at becoming the "Ace" of NOAH was a disappointment considering he didn't draw well because of the lack of fan connection, but he still churned out pretty good matches. Loving his new worn out look though since losing the belt."
