Watching him, it seems that he's too flexible, unable, in the face of the all-consuming maw of WWE's commitment to an in-house style which is leashed to Vince McMahon's increasingly manic whims, to insist that pulling too many blows or stalling out in too many rest holds makes him less Nakamura.

As a curator at the V&A for 18 years, and not on an executive shortlist, I've seen firsthand that for the women who aim to balance an arts career with a life outside the institution, reluctance to throw their hats into the ring may be linked to the international travel and all-consuming nature of a directors' dozen role.
