Shinsuke has literally been one of the best promos the past like 5 months or whatever. Once they let him speak his native language his shits been outstanding.

honestly not even one of. Just the best. the hate he gets is crazy. Yeah he wasn't very good back in the Attitude Era. No shit he was greener than goose shit. But he's been far and away the best for many years now.

Uh idk if I say many years. Like he was pretty annoying well into the 2010s. I say around when Pat came in is when he got to be good

that's when he really became nearly universally loved.

Even in the 2010's he was doing his job and doing a damn good job of it. You may not have liked the style that he was doing but he was doing what he was asked to do and doing it well. And I'll be honest in hindsight I kinda liked Heel Cole. It lasted way too long and it should have ended at Mania.

"Hey let's vote the Japanese people for terrible mic work even though they're speaking in their second language when speaking English and the other is speaking badass Japanese promos now"

David Finlay, sorry, dude's been lacking in comparison to other BC leaders. All either had an "It Factor" or something. He's still finding it and even if Jay had to develop into the role, he had progress. David's not developed as quickly. At least he seems to have debuted a new finisher.
