It's beyond me how Nakamura,'s English is still so bad given how long he's been in the US. Same with Asuka's and Skye's to be honest.

I speak four languages, I also greatly improved my English with just one semester abroad, so their mother tongue is irrelevant really. Again, they have been in the US for YEARS.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen videos of Shinsuke speaking English quite fluently

What languages do you speak lol
French, English, Spanish and German. I also teach English for a living and I have middle school students whose English sounds better than Nakamura's, hence my questioning.

Anyway here’s the video of shinsuke speaking English. He’s pretty much able to have a conversation and doesn’t really make mistakes.

Raw last night averaged 1.86 million viewers with a 0.57 rating in 18-49, numbers slightly up from last week's show that had competition from Home Run Derby, so the increase would have been expected.

Raw was the highest rated show in 18-49 both on cable television and beat every network show as well.

The second highest rated cable show, 90 Day Fiance, did a 0.20 in 18-49. Nothing on network TV topped a 0.41.

From last week, Raw was up three percent in viewers, up two percent in 18-49, and down nine percent in 18-34.

From one year ago, the show was up five percent from an episode that went against Home Run Derby, but up 23 percent in 18-49 and up eight percent in 18-34. Factoring in the homes lost by cable, the real percentage increases were 11 percent in viewers and 36 percent in 18-49.

The Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn tag title match against Damian Priest & Dominik Mysterio did a better job than most Raw main events as far as the first-to-third hour drop is concerned.

That's the very minimum I'd expect from someone who's been living in the country for 7 years, but I'm still surprised to hear how heavy is accent is.
