10 Reasons The G1 Climax Is Unmissable This Year
2. Zack Sabre Jr. Enters Japan
Zack Sabre Jr. is the definition of excellence in technical wrestling. Love him or hate him, you can’t help but admire the way the man works. Unfortunately, since arriving in New Japan, he’s had limited chances to show that off. Suzuki-gun’s usual antics have seen his matches dissolve into shenanigans and we haven’t got to see the master at work.
Well, hopefully, the G1 is where that all changes. Having impressed in the US Title Tournament, he is being thrown in at the deep end. Marquee matches against Tanahashi, Naito, and Ibushi will either see him be gobbled up by the sharks or come out a hero.
There’s still a chance that Suzuki and co will work as hard as possible to ruin these matches, but we should all cross our fingers and hope for the best. This is a chance for one of Britain's very best to go out and prove what we all know, that he belongs in Japan. Would you be crazy enough to bet against him stealing the show?
