Is there a better hold-for-hold professional wrestler on the planet than Zack Sabre Jr.?

There is a reason the man from Kent has dominated the Best Technical Wrestler category of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter in recent years. If there is anyone better at slapping on holds than The Technical Wizard, I’m yet to encounter them.

Would Chris Jericho be able to match holds with Zack? Absolutely not. There is more chance of Zack defeating Roman Reigns in the main event of WrestleMania 34. Watching Jericho overcome the technical prowess of ZSJ would be fascinating viewing, and would almost inevitably end in curt violence and little in the way of subtlety.

Jericho has shared the ring with some of the great technical wrestlers of the last 25 years. He broke into the business with Lance Storm, was extremely close to both Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit, and wrestled Daniel Bryan in his first televised WWE match. Despite this, he has never faced anyone as technically proficient as the frankly unbelievable Zack Sabre Jr.
