He isn't coasting in a lazy sense, he is waiting for an opponent to actually do something with him. There are no reversal spots, nothing different, no-one is showing a hint of trying to do anything beyond a routine. It takes two to make a match.
His NJPW matches all vary to a huge degree because his opponents knew how to work. Corbin doesn't and neither does Jinder.

That month when he was signed by WWE and nobody believed me about House Show Nakamura/Lazy Nak being a thing sure was fun
Now stories are regularly out about him recommending his friends come over because it's great that you can just chill/relax/do very little, and nobody's batting an eye anymore
Except he coasted with Joe and Cena

Give his ass opponents like Sami and AJ,put him to work!
I look forward to NeoGAF Vince McMahon inviting me and SomewhatGravy over for this, only for us to arrive at a vacant lot.

I'm sure Nak is very aware he could go out and put on a 2.5 star match with anyone, good or bad, and not suffer for it and to some degree that's what he is doing right now.
No lies detected
He's not lying, he's just wrong.

Bret Hart who consistently put on amazing PPV matches was notorious for taking it super lazy and safe in house show matches.
I don't think a WWE schedule lends itself to trying to put on a 4 star match every time you leave the gorilla position, and now the WWE is now longer about PPV buys im not sure where the line crosses.
I do want Nakamura to deliver something special every time I see him to back up the legendary intro so I can see why his run so far is considered disappointing.

Or he's learned that the best way to work and get over and make money is by not killing himself night after night like a total mark 🤔
Who said he was lazy?

Such a backhanded jab at Jinder. Jinder does know, he's great. Corbin will learn.
You're worthless, Zachary. I want to meet you.
Others who worked during that period and I think Bret himself has said he knew when to take it easy and when to make it count.
I read it online, I'll have a see if I can find the quote...

Let's be honest, though. When it comes to wrasslin, a production that takes its toll on your body - if you CAN manage to get away with doing less because you're super over - hell, you absolutely should.
While I agree Lazy Nak is a thing, he also doesn't HAVE to bust his ass like that, and I shouldn't expect him to. Bryan was the opposite of this. Over as hell, still did foolish breakout indie spots.

All these years later and it still does my head in that ICP somehow managed to worm their way into both the WWF and WCW.There is so much late era WCW stuff that I had no idea happened
Like this near death
I wonder how much longer until WWE brings back the wrestling bear.
Bret is my hero. He is the fucking best. Even when bitter and angry because he is a flawed human like everyone yet he genuinely cares about his craft and I respect that. He wanted to be the very best and backed that up so much over his entire career that even his fallout with HBK will never undo his legacy.

You stay away from my man.
nothing in wwe matters so it only makes sense that nakamura ain't working hard
Everyone in that god damn dressing room knew he was the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. And if you don't like that, tough shit.

Well, his career isn't important right now. On Smackdown, the clear frontrunner and face of that brand is Kevin Owens and he's being put over huge. Great for Owens. Very good stuff.
Look at this nerd. So proud that he watches the boring filler.

I mean, I'm pretty sure Austin could get a better match out of the Patriot than Brat Hart.

I watched a ton of Global Wrestling Federation in the early 90s. The Patriot was awesome and amazing. Great talent.
At Ground Zero?
I liked that match, it was poor at the start and no one cared making for the dullest of times but by the end it was awesome. Bret managed to get the live crowd care about the Patriot with those near falls and yes the match wasn't earth shattering it was still way better than you could have thought possible.

Ground Zero had a total attendance of under 6,000 but somehow the crowd is way more into the event than arenas now with 15K+ people.

Observer reporting that due to being in Canada (a place he's not allowed to go to) for BFG and the next set of tapings, Cornette is done with iMPACT!
This is, of course, a problem because Cornette was brought in as the new onscreen authority figure at the start of the most recent tapings and is all over everything scheduled to air between now and then

If it wasn't clear - Starrcade is a WWE Network special.

Oh yes. That's awesome. I can't wait.
Since it's a Network Special, they can give it some love, too, in the production for it and the performers without having to make sure it's highly rated on cable, etc. All good stuff.

It was fine for what it was, and for the reasons you stated. But my comment was more to imply that Austin pre-injury was at least as good as Bret in the ring, and better in my eyes.
I recently watched the strap match Austin had with Savio Vega at Beware of Dog, and it's really good!

I stand corrected. Still a house show but one that'll be on the Network
Don't expect that to be a frequent thing, much like Brock House Shows were only aired once or twice even though he did much more than 2
