Zack Sabre Jr. is one of the most decorated wrestlers currently operating. In kayfabe terms, it makes perfect sense for a competitor with ZSJ's list of accomplishments to book his spot in the G1, and finally that has happened.

Now a part of Minoru Suzuki's villainous stable, Zack has an opportunity to showcase his talents to a new audience with his block matches. Kenny Omega is proof that if you are talented enough, a gaijin can walk into his first G1 and win it all, but fans of ZSJ shouldn't get their hopes up.

Being relatively new to the Japanese crowd, ZSJ will undoubtedly immerse them in his brand of wrestling. Once that brand has taken root, Zack could blossom into a main event player in New Japan, as he is in so many other promotions.

It looks a little too early for that now though.
