I hadn’t seen this one before. I had a suspicion when the announcer said something like “believe it or not, Sabre hasn’t been anybody submit yet in the tournament” what the finish would be. But it was a good time. Believe it or not, this card took place in a gymnasium with only 2800 people in attendance!

2024-11-18 17:46:48 +0000 UTCI forgot how much I love watching Zack Sabre Jr. He's such an incredible technical submission wrestler, and he manages to make a style that's often considered less exciting feel so entertaining.

2024-08-28 03:27:56 +0000 UTCThis Zach Sabre Jr. run made me fully fall in love with submission wrestling. Already appreciated and understood it before, but he's so creative that I cant take my eyes off of his offense.

2024-08-26 21:20:30 +0000 UTCThe G1 has at least 3 or 4 bangers a year so alot get lost in the shuffle. I can thankfully say that this was one that did and I can watch it for the first time again

2024-08-25 00:13:35 +0000 UTCI love watching cruiserweights. They usually put on the most exciting matches in my opinion.

2024-08-24 16:39:45 +0000 UTCThats it. There's so much variety out there I think now we are so spoilt with the amount of wrestling we can consume. WWE, AEW, New Japan, Stardom, CMLL, TNA and NXT are all doing great things at the moment, and they each provide something for everyone.

2024-08-24 10:17:00 +0000 UTCI'm not super familiar with Japanese wrestling so the crowds and stuff are still something to get used to. It is definitely interesting to see the pacing of Japanese matches as opposed to the wrestling I'm more familiar with. I haven't watched much Ospreay but he is consistently been really good in every match I've seen. ZSJ is also someone I need to search out more because other than the Cruiserweight Classic WWE did I have not seen as much of him as I should. I really like his style of technical wrestling.

2024-08-24 05:00:31 +0000 UTCI’m actually a little surprised to see how small he was here. I had forgot. He’s actually bulked up a fair bit in recent years. He still stays relatively lean because his style requires flexibility, but damn 2019 ZSJ is baby.

2024-08-23 22:32:45 +0000 UTCAppreciate you guys checking out all styles of wrestling. I haven't watched much New Japan myself but I've seen some of Zack Sabre Jnr when he's made appearances in AEW. His style is different from anyone's I've seen. He puts his opponents in various submission holds that look legit haha.

2024-08-23 22:21:01 +0000 UTCThis is the perfect time to learn about Zack Sabre Jr. He just won this years 19-night long G1 Climax tournament for a shot at the IWGP title at Wrestle Kingdom. This is New Japan’s equivalent to winning the rumble main event Wrestlemania. He announced he’s using his title shot early and has a great chance of winning the IWGP heavyweight title very soon. He’s worked for New Japan for years and is finally reaping the rewards of his stellar work. Would suggest looking into this years Wrestle Kingdom (or at least the top matches)! It’s on January 4th every year in the Tokyo Dome.
