We’ve been at AwesomeCon all weekend attending wrestling panels and talking to fans and creators. But perhaps the biggest panel for WWE fans was the one featuring Shinsuke Nakamura and Charlotte. Both of whom are were promoting the Money in the Bank PPV. Fans lined up and asked a host of questions to the Queen of WWE and the King of Strong-Style, and we were in attendance as well.
Here Are The Highlights:
The crowd got a little restless before-hand

And of course, the crowd made a chant about themselves!

It was a fun panel. Nakamura and Charlotte were great with the fans. Shinsuke’s charisma is transcendent of any language barrier. Even in his 2nd language, he showed why he was one of the best in wrestling right now!
