HOF'er worries about top star:

Edge says he is not sure Shinsuke Nakamura will make it...

"It's strange with Nakamura, man, because, like you've said, we've seen his matches with AJ in New Japan and everything. With Randy, I've seen it. And with Sami, I've seen it. But that match too, man, I really loved that match and after that, it's like, anything else is going to be tough to live up to. I mean, maybe Nakamura will get there. Maybe. Who knows? It's a different beast entirely. People can blame it on booking, this, that, or the other. I don't know. I think it's weird. It just goes to show how different places to wrestle are completely different environments."
